Hello guys!

What is the status on this one?
I like the idea of AppImages, but this solution seems easier.

Not too much has happened since, though I have been able to turn the tarball into a snap, an AppImage and a flatpak.

Is the 32bit version still planned? And I'm super interested by the AppImage version too! :)
Btw what's the plan with this, make it available on the Game Distribution wiki page?

That's a good point. I've attached the new formats, so people can test those too. Next, I want to make it easier for everyone to build their fused games using this, then do a 32-bit build (though everyone should be using a 64-bit os these days...). And then.. I'll probably put the portable binaries up for download and link the scripts I use to build everything on Game Distribution, I guess.

EDIT: Btw, for those new to flatpak (I know I was), you can supposedly install the file using 'flatpak install --bundle <filename>', but you'll need to install the dependency, org.freedesktop.Platform, yourself.

I promise I'll do before 2038!

Seriously though, I'm waiting for the next Debian release. Until then, I will only be able test when there are 32 bit binaries, or on occasion, using a borrowed 64-bit machine, but that's slower.

Hi guys,

I'm planning to use those binaries to distribute the Linux version of the game, is it OK? Is there any licence on the files I should be aware of?

As far as I'm concerned compilation isn't a creative work, so I assert no copyright on the binaries themselves ;).

Seriously, though, the licensing situation is exactly the same as the windows binaries, except libstdc++ which is.. weird.
IANAL but I think you are allowed to redistribute libstdc++ along with closed-source programs (see also this FSF page).
Otherwise, you can just remove libstdc++, only slightly reducing portability in the process.

OK thanks! Actually I was also thinking about the script file launching the executable. :)
About libstdc++, it's probably not a problem I think.
