Can VuiLib build on Linux/Unix/Darwin?

[ChenPi11]

Suggestions

I tried to build VuiLib on Debian GNU/Linux, but it used WinAPI. So may you add Unix(or U*ix) support?

• And you should rename 'makelist.txt' to 'CMakeLists.txt' for CMake build.
• You can also set CMake minimal version to '3.1' instead of '3.23' because it is too version is too new.

Thanks for your suggestions, since I am now busy with other works, so I don't have any time to focus on the platform crossing. I will try to build vuilib on the other operation system and change the render API (maybe in next month) like SDL or Vulkan.

我希望在以后为 VuiLib 的跨平台提供技术支持，您是否希望 VuiLib 能够在 Linux 上运行？

暂时这个项目是完全依赖于DirectX作为渲染后端。你可以尝试移植VRender实现跨平台

显然我是希望的嘛 xD 如果您愿意的话，我当然非常感谢您能完成跨平台工作

VUILib 3.x now support build on Unix/Linux/Darwin, passing unit test under my PC on manjaro and PC on Windows 11. In fact, supporting cross platform is quite a hard job which different platform actually has different rules like rendering method or window operation (e.g. Creation/Destory), so I took a long progress to finish it. However sadly, VUILib 3.x is still under development that is not valiable for using now.

In addition, I am quite eager for a partner to maintain this project. If you still have interest in it, please sent email to my private email on ($margoo$ $at$ $margoo$ $dot$ $icu$)
