The script in this git repository can be used (on a sufficiently old linux
|
|
|
|
|
system) to extract LÓVE binaries, and turn them into a portable build in
|
|
|
|
|
various different formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project is split up into multiple parts, and each part is responsible for
|
|
|
|
|
a different build. Note that the `tarball` build is used as a base for the
|
|
|
|
|
other builds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## tarball ##
|
|
|
|
|
`tarball` contains a build script that extracts the love version currently
|
|
|
|
|
installed on the system together with its dependencies to form a portable
|
|
|
|
|
build. It also creates a small wrapper script that does the correct search path
|
|
|
|
|
manipulations to be able to run the build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lastly, it contains the icon and a stubbed desktop file.

## snap ##
|
|
|
|
|
`snap` builds.. well, a [snap][]. Instead of using fancy build tools that try
|
|
|
|
|
to do everything for you, why not just do it manually?! Seriously though, you
|
|
|
|
|
can still use snapcraft to build this, but at that point it just acts like a
|
|
|
|
|
fancy mksquashfs, and an extra dependency at that.

NOTE: I haven't been able to run the built snaps yet, but that seems to be a
|
|
|
|
|
driver issue, possibly related to Arch Linux. Let me know if it works for you!

## appimage ##
|
|
|
|
|
`appimage` builds [AppImages][AppImage], unsurprisingly. It uses binaries from
|
|
|
|
|
[AppImageKit][], though you can build them yourself if you want to. And hey,
|
|
|
|
|
this actually seems to work, too!

## flatpak ##
|
|
|
|
|
`flatpak` is used to build [flatpak][] "packages". It requires the flatpak
|
|
|
|
|
command line tool. Of course flatpak has some kind of repo system, so you can't
|
|
|
|
|
easily distribute a flatpak file. Useful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Once again driver issues (blame nvidia) prevent me from testing this
|
|
|
|
|
myself. If you get it working, let me know!

## docker ##
|
|
|
|
|
`docker` does not build docker images. Instead it builds a docker image so you
|
|
|
|
|
can build portable packages yourself!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build the container, you need to download the relevant SDL2 and LuaJIT
|
|
|
|
|
source packages (and possibly update the references in the Dockerfile).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use the container, run it as an application, mounting this repo as
|
|
|
|
|
/build/love-linux-builder. You can optionally mount love source at /build/love,
|
|
|
|
|
and if no source is provided it clones the repo and checks out the specified
|
|
|
|
|
version. Note that the container requires exactly one argument: the version.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be an arbitrary string, but for cloning to work it needs to be a tag,
|
|
|
|
|
branch or commit.
