Linux compilation with Docker

[mbndr]

NO ISSUE BUT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

I don't know Distrobox (#2) but I compiled it with the help of Docker.

1. Create a new folder and cd into it
2. git clone https://github.com/analgesicproductions/Even-The-Ocean-Open-Source source (note the destination folder)
3. Copy the code below into Dockerfile in the same directory
4. Build image: docker build -t eto .
5. Actually compile: docker run --rm -v "$PWD/export:/export" eto
6. (Hopefully everything went well) then execute cd export && ./EventheOcean to run the game
7. (Cleanup image docker image rm eto)

FROM haxe:3.4.7

COPY source /source

RUN bash "/source/Open Source Assets/installHaxeLibraries.bat"

# Install compiler
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y g++ gcc-multilib g++-multilib

WORKDIR /source

# Fix missing libraries
RUN haxelib run lime rebuild hxcpp linux

# Copy custom flixel libraries
RUN cp -r /source/txt/flixel/* /haxelib/flixel/4,0,0 \
 && cp -r /source/txt/addons/* /haxelib/flixel-addons/2,0,0/flixel/addons/tile

# Actually installing
CMD haxelib run lime build "Project.xml" linux -release -Dfdb \
 && mv /source/export/linux64/cpp/bin/* /export

There are surely better structured ways for building it but this is the way I did it for now. I didn't playtest so long but the game booted and I started the first level in gauntlet mode.

@analgesicproductions Thank you so much for sharing your source code!

for info. Distrobox is based on docker/podman. I think docker build should be used to build docker image and not final source code. Check bellow example:

save patch in your code and run

patch -p1 < <patch_name>

to compile everything

sh linux/indocker_linux.sh

this should build docker image(only first time) and build the game.

other options:

sh linux/indocker_linux.sh clean   // clean all (haxe libs, game)

sh linux/indocker_linux.sh clean_game // clean game objects

sh linux/indocker_linux.sh game // build game, after clean_game
