Request to make Lutris builds flexible & customisable #5432

Open sameersharma2006 opened 5 months ago

Currently building lutris with meson isn't configurable as the project doesn't have meson build flags it would be good if the project offers meson build flags to disable some features of the app, specify install location etc.

For e.g., it doesn't make any sense to include support for managing flatpaks with lutris as a snap package as it isn't possible. If we could just disable support for lutris flatpak support it would have been good.

P.S. Am not just talking about disabling flatpak but options to disable some other game installers etc. will be good as it will make maintaining lutris easier.

We can adjust the code to adapt to a snap environment without meson build flags. That said, I'm not against more configuration options in meson, if they can be useful.

First, we need an is_snap method in linux.py, then the rest will be easy.
