Add a "simple-build" script for linux #381

Open Fohlen opened 7 years ago

Fohlen commented 7 years ago

Add a script that:

install's dependencies on supported platforms
installs conan and builds inexor in /opt/inexor for Alpha releases
add instructions (that you can copy) to run Inexor

Add a respective wiki page that:

discusses on prebuild packages, where they can be found, how one can help us to prebuild them
add's copy-to-paste instructions for the simple build script
~~add's instructions with pictures to the Windows part~~
~~add's a note on OS X~~
- (since this is an issue about an easy build script for linux neither macOS nor Windows has anything to do with it - @Croydon)
links to the old build page for more detailed information

This will be deprecated by the rolling release system, see #405

How can a binary distribution solve an easy building issue?

aschaeffer commented 6 years ago

True. The rolling release distribution system is targeted towards end users, beta testers and early adopters. But as a first time contributor you would be glad to have a script which prepares a working development environment which installs conan, npm, gcc and so on. Maybe we should reopen and adjust the issue description?

Fohlen commented 6 years ago

This could be used by providing two separate snap packages

one based on the nvm/node plugin which just installs the game
one on the python plugin, additionally specifying adding our compiler infrastructure. Use conan as the pip dependency, and there you go.
