State of Linux support #43

Open Newbytee opened 3 years ago

Newbytee commented 3 years ago

Looking at the source tree I see a TheElements-linux directory, and inside it a Makefile, as such I did the only natural thing and followed the build instructions for Android as far as they made sense (cloned repo, built protobuf) for this and then ran make inside that directory.

This only built a shared object called libprotobuf.so inside the subsequently created TheElements-linux/bin directory. Now, glancing over the code it seems the Linux port hasn't seen a lot of work, and I can't really find anything stating whether it actually works, and if so how to build it, and thus I ask: What's the state of the Linux port of this?

(also, entirely unrelated, but I used to play this all the time on Android a few years back; thank you for the memories!)

I think this actually works, but you need to have the android version building as well. The command to make the binary is make all.
