Linux support? #61

Open sanpilou opened 7 months ago

sanpilou commented 7 months ago

Hi. I play elite dangerous mainly on the steam deck. I would love to use SrvSurvey, but since the steam deck uses Linux, I can't. Would it be possible to get a Linux version?

Thank you.

@sanpilou - without access to a StreamDeck thisnwill be near impossible.

If you have a general Linux PC, I can try getting things working there. It might only be a small hop to a StreamDeck from there.

Do other tools, like EDMC work for you there?

I sadly don't have a PC with Linux installed at the moment. I could look into it though, but it may take a while.

I did find this as far as developing for the steam deck without a dev kit, it might be useful for you to port SrvSurvey to the deck. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/testing#3

I haven't tried EDMC on my steam deck, but I can do that as soon as I have a minute. A quick google search tells me that they have a native python version for linux, so that should run on the deck easily.

Thank you @sanpilou for the link, that was very helpful.

I will keep researching, but I must be honest and say that it is unlikely I can make SrvSurvey work for a SteamDeck.

I think it should be possibly to make it work for Linux in general but this will take a long time.

I run E:D on Desktop Linux, I'm definitely willing to help test with my system if there's a will to make a Linux release. I tried installing the Windows app via Protontricks to put it in the same WINE/Proton Prefix/container, but it doesn't seem to detect the Journal files or running game properly, even when I point the application to the Journal folder. I can submit logs if desired.

@hawkraptor - thank you for your interest. Knowing that other Windows tools can work through WINE, I am willing to give this a try, only as I have no Linux machine, it will require a lot of back and forth.

Things IRL have me busy for a few weeks, but if you're still keen, let's see what we can see.
