Bundle as self-contained app to allow running on Linux #30

Closed Jarva closed 3 years ago

Jarva commented 3 years ago

When running on Linux the library libhostpolicy.so is missing, bundling as a self contained app should fix this issue and allow Linux users to use NBT Studio as well.

I do have a publish mode for a standalone app, but it bloats the file size to 140 MB. https://www.mediafire.com/file/rlqbkmspp5h47zw/NbtStudio.exe/file Does that work for you on linux? I'm not super comfortable uploading these very big files for every release though...

Unfortunately not, that gives the same error about libhostpolicy.so being missing.

Then I'm not sure what more I can do sadly :(

When .NET 6 comes out (November 2021) you could use .NET MAUI as a cross-platform framework rather than WinForms, which might solve this problem.

I've definitely been looking forward to maui 😌 From what I've heard, it seems that it will be much more similar to WPF than winforms. I don't have any experience with WPF, but I like to think my separation of model and view in this project is decent enough that it shouldn't be too nightmarish to port all the various forms. The hard part will probably be porting the control libraries I didn't write, i.e. HexBox and especially TreeViewAdv. So much work... :(
