Flatpak for SteamDeck
Hi, Would it be a lot of work for you to create a flatpak in which the libSDL dependencies are resolved? Greetings Daniel
Hi, I don't have a Steam Deck so I wouldn't be able to test whether it works or not. Also as the game uses assets from Mario games, I'm not sure flathub would legally allow hosting the game there.
Hi, I can do the testing, that's no problem. You don't have to upload the flatpak to flathub. It is sufficient if you provide it here. Do you need help with that ?
Hm, I usually don't make issue-specific releases, but it sounds like you're already familiar with creating Flatpaks? If you'd like to, feel free to write one, pull requests are welcome.
I've created a Flatpak package - https://github.com/imbev/supermariowar-flatpak
It requires changes such as a .desktop file (needed for app menus), but can be downloaded and run.
Another issue with the flatpak is that it depends on a manually downloaded SMW. If there is a canonical Linux download url or if it is built from source, this problem would be resolved.
Nice! Yeah, building from source is probably how it's supposed to work, but as a workaround this might be useful as well.
There's now an official Flatpak nightly build at https://mmatyas.github.io/supermariowar-flatpak/. Have fun!
