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.
