Linux support

Open dataf3l opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

after skimming through the code instructions, I noticed there are no instructions on how to build for linux, does this program support linux?

Sorry, I know nothing about *nix! Can you point me at a list of differences...? TIA

In order to achieve the port, I would follow these steps:

  1. Install Virtualbox
  2. Install Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 from their website, at least 20GB disk drive 2.1 learn a bit a bout bash and how to use nautilus 2.2 get comfortable with using the linux thing, by using it for recreational purposes first.
  3. Install gcc (build-essential)
  4. possibly install lua-devel?
  5. try to build program by creating a cmake file
  6. see all the things the compiler doesn't like, and add #idfefs around it
  7. setup a cron job so on every commit, there is a "git pull" && "build" so we can test in the future if future changes break the build (continuous integration)
  8. maybe install a C++ IDE to help with the port (I hear KDevelop is nice, it has rainbow coloring and everything, or maybe netbeans?)
  9. test test test
  10. publish, have other people help.
