Some Indication of Popularity/Repute
App license: MIT
Why should this app be added?
- Popular among game developers and systems programmers
- Actively maintained with regular releases
- No current Windows package manager support
- Complements existing development tools in extras bucket
- Easy to create a package!
- Casey Muratori uses this - https://youtu.be/M2ZW4uwxU8k?t=1342
Additional info:
- Latest version: v0.9.19-alpha
- Download URL pattern:
https://github.com/EpicGamesExt/raddebugger/releases/download/v{version}/raddbg.zip - Binary:
raddbg.exe - Self-contained executable, no complex dependencies
P.s. I've also created an issue in extras at first - https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/issues/15611 But it seems that we meet the main criteria. So I can close extras issue if required. About the GUI: we can use it with or without gui (radbin.exe/radlink.exe) or with gui raddbg.exe, but its better to provide the gui in one package (like cmake does)
Also we can print out the recommendation to install Microsoft C/C++ Build Tools v15 (2017) or later
