@GyrosGeier@hachyderm.io if you want to work on making the build a bit more modular so that it's easy to run the shader builds separately from the rest of the application, I'll gladly take a PR I just don't have time to work on it.
Docs should be trivial to build with "make doc" and images don't need any building at all (although the build flow does copy into the binary directory so it's easy to find them when running a local copy of the tool not installed systemwide) so that should mostly be a solved problem.

@GyrosGeier@hachyderm.io near term, you could probably make the manual and non-generated arch independent files (images, gradients, and the demo scope s-parameter channel model) a separate ngscopeclient-common package pretty easily, keeping the shaders as part of the main binary package. The shader binaries are fairly small compared to the rest of the application, so the savings in the package repository from de-duplicating them will not be too significant compared to e.g. the many-megabyte PDF manual
