General Linux port discussion (English) #185

Closed arifoxs closed 5 years ago

arifoxs commented 7 years ago

Can I compile this project with MinGW, is it possible to use it on linux?

Xottab-DUTY commented 7 years ago

For now it's impossible to run this on linux. But you can help us porting parts of the code to the Linux.

Wow, If i modify this project, maybe some features will be lost like GameSpy, or GameEditor maybe, about GameEditor, I think, making GameEditor can run on linux, may have to replace everything, I need to replace the base library, and replace it with SDL / GTK or maybe better wxWidget because it makes this GameEngine development faster and others, but if it works on linux, I think maybe this GameEngine will Become Unity and Unreal rivals, Moreover can make games on android, wow it makes X-Ray amazing.

I think Game Stalker starts from SoC, Clear Sky, until COP is a good game, I've played it. I hope a lot of C ++ developers are helping to develop this GameEngine,

I understand C ++, if I have time, I will help develop this Engine, thank you

GameSpy.com is dead, but this engine uses own GSC GameSpy server gamegsc.com. But I don't know if GameSpy can be broken while we porting to Linux.

GameEditor is broken completely anyway, It was written for old Borland C++ Builder 6.0, and while we using modern Visual Studio 2015 it's becomes impossible to compile it with C++ Builder.

By the way, these guys working on Linux port: kaffeine (He is not working on OpenXRay) tamlin-mike (He is inactive right now) vincent-t (It seems he is inactive too or decided to take a break) So, it will be useful if you will cooperate with them.

This will be main issue about Linux support.
