[Feature Request] release `unknown-linux-gnu` build #1174

Open LeoDog896 opened 1 year ago

In the releases description, it says the following:

If you use Linux, or want the developer Python bindings, or if your GPU is not listed below, use the step-by-step instructions to compile instant-ngp yourself.

However, many other programs make generic builds for different Linux machines, such as denoland/deno. Would it be possible to do that with the current CI? (The CI also compiles the program under ubuntu, so it should be possible to extract the archive).

It's possible in principle, but there are lots of intricacies to get right when creating portable binaries for Linux -- more than simply uploading the built artifacts from CI. This gets further complicated by the consideration of how to bundle the CUDA runtime.

I am open to accept pull requests that add this feature (e.g. in the form of a .appimage release), but do not foresee investing the time myself in the near future.
