Simula Requires run.sh to Launch on Ubuntu Bionic

georgewsinger commented 5 years ago

Launching Simula directly (via godot --path $(GODOTPROJECT)) fails work for me on Ubuntu, and hence make run fails to launch Simula (more precisely, it fails to launch Simula in VR mode and instead only launches Simula in pancake mode). Launching Simula via ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh godot --path $(GODOTPROJECT) does work, yet this is evidently not the case for everyone.

I would propose that we modify ./addons/godot-haskell-project/Makefile to

run:
        stack --verbosity=error build godot-haskell-plugin $$TELEMETRY
        cp $(LIBFILE) $(PROJECTROOT)
        ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh godot --path $(GODOTPROJECT)

but ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh is not the same for everyone. Our Makefile should detect the location of run.sh and launch accordingly.

I wonder why you need to launch it via that script but I don't (Kubuntu 18.04). There's no harm in doing so regardless but it is another potential point of failure to depend on that script.

As far as I know, run.shs possible locations are

~/.steam/{,steam/}ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh

SimulaVR / Simula
