How to build GoVoxel on Linux?
Why don't you put some executable ready-for-use files in release section? How to build GoVoxel on Linux? What dependencies should I install first? What's the pipe line of building, etc
You need to download the source code (as zip for example).
And you must run:
$ make release
And yep, it is in the root of project.
./goxel
The last mesa libs has some issues (with intel graphics cards) but you can avoid to crash the goxel with:
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 ./goxel
I second the question:
Why not provide a Linux build in the releases alongside the Windows and Mac builds?
I guess I could yes... What is the best strategy to distribute platform independent binaries for linux these days? Would a simple compilation with all dependencies statically linked work?
Thank you!
I think it should be fine. I've heard one of the best ways to distribute distro-independent builds is with the use of AppImage.
I managed to compile it thanks to your instruction, but I had to figure some stuff out, I guess not everyone will be able to do it on their own (especially novice users).
It is a good question (which kind packages are the best), well there is not a official stats (such as the Android versions from google) but there is a old web that shows a stats Distrowatch (stats for last 12 months in the right sidebar), and it is:
| Name | Based in |
|---|---|
| MX Linux | Debian |
| Manjaro | Arch |
| Mint | Debian |
| Ubuntu | Debian |
| Debian | Debian |
| elementary | Debian |
| Pop!_OS | Debian |
| Solus | Other |
| Fedora | RedHat |
| Zorin | Debian |
And the 70% are deb package.
But it is good choice others packages such as AppImage (as @unfa says) or Snap.
I think appimage is a good choice, and probably easier for end users than an apk.

Goxel is on Flathub and extremely up to date so if anybody absolutely doesn't want to/cannot compile it you can get it via Flatpak pretty easily. I would definitely love an AppImage version though since I really love how portable they are.
