Linux Build #40

Closed msparkles closed 2 years ago

msparkles commented 3 years ago

Is a linux build possible? Or a build script?

leap0x7b commented 3 years ago

It should be possible using Mono, you can refer to the issue #1 about macOS support, which also uses Mono and also a Unix-like system, just like Linux.

Noted. I was able to run it without bugs (yet), but for some reason it only runs under a 32 bit wineprefix. Any idea why?

arcusmaximus commented 3 years ago

YTSubConverter currently only runs in 32-bit mode because it uses an embedded Internet Explorer for the preview window.

As there's clearly interest in running the converter on other OSes than Windows, though, I'll see if I can make it natively cross-platform using some third party framework like AvaloniaUI. (Microsoft itself sadly seems to have little interest in providing a Linux-compatible UI library for .NET).

+1, pls a linux build would be awesome :D

a-rabin commented 2 years ago

i agree, a linux build would be very good

arcusmaximus commented 2 years ago

YTSubConverter is now officially available on Linux! The GUI is remade from scratch using Gtk# so that it looks like a native Linux application - and no longer needs Wine for emulating Internet Explorer. You can find the download on the Releases page.
