Allow bootstrapping AGS Editor in clean windows CI #5

Open ericoporto opened 2 years ago

ericoporto commented 2 years ago

Ideally we want to be able not only install AGS Editors, but also any dependency from it like either .NET or vc redistributables, but we need to figure how to check for them.

In the end, it would be amazing to do something like

atbx build --getdependencies -y MyGame/Game.agf

And have it magically fetch and build everything on the CI, without needing to worry about which is the correct Editor to use for this.

A lot of advances happened in the command line front, but we aren't yet at this point.

[x] allow command line building using AGS Editor
[ ] figuring some approach with vc redistributables
[ ] figuring some approach with .NET

I think for the vc redist it can be used the installer we have or some other way to figure it out or simply hardcoding a table inside of agstoolbox since it doesn't change much, and for .NET it's best to leave out as we have wine tricks for Linux and on Windows it's not needed.

I started this work as follows:

a docker image is built and released here: https://github.com/ericoporto/containedpywine
a github action to grab atbx and use on wine: https://github.com/ericoporto/agstoolbox-action
example usage of a github action: https://github.com/ericoporto/distfx/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml

It's not working yet, there is still work to do, probably need also #27

I think I will instead just add thee vcredist as a command line parameter like --vcredist so at least I get that and figure the .NET later separately.
