Linux support is lacking #12

Open Tahvohck opened 3 years ago

Tahvohck commented 3 years ago

At the moment there's no compiled binaries for linux and the file can't be run directly from the command line. At the very least this is related to the new winreg support, but without a working linux desktop I can't confirm other areas that don't work.

Fix branch fix-linux-support will be created to track these fixes.

On it

Tahvohck commented 3 years ago

Changes in #16 have fixed the ability to run the python scripts directly. Until we have a confirmed compilable binary (and ideal a build script for it) this will stay open.

This is a list of dependency you need on vanilla Ubuntu to get it running

Needed dependency

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
pip install lxml
pip install rectpack
pip install pypng

Tahvohck commented 3 years ago

lxml, rectpack, and pypng should all be in the requirements file already. The design philosophy for development at least is to wrap everything in a python virtual environment so that PyInstaller doesn't grab un-needed packages during compile time.

With that said, some documentation on the wiki for how to run the files manually would be good, so I'll add that to the todo list.
