Fedora Media Writer is a tool that helps users put Fedora images on their portable drives such as flash disks.
It is able to automatically download the required image for them and write them in a dd-like fashion, using either dd directly or some other way to access the drive itself directly.
This overwrites the drive's partition layout though, so it also provides a way to restore a single-partition layout with a FAT32 partition.
The tool is still in development, features are added to it over time.
To view the current development status, visit #1 .
You can build FMW using the default Qt qmake build system.
You should specify the target directory using the PREFIX qmake variable. The default prefix path is /usr/local
It can be done like this:
qmake PREFIX=/usr .
The main binary, mediawriter, will be writen to $PREFIX/bin and the helper binary can be found on the path $PREFIX/libexec/mediawriter/helper.

Building FMW in Windows is just the matter of running qmake and make. There are no requirements now.
To create a standalone package, use the windeployqt tool, included in your Qt installation. You will probably have to include a bunch of not included DLLs.
Again, you can just run qmake and make. No requirements so far.
To release a standalone package, use macdeployqt, supplied with your Qt installation.
