Linux pre-built

Open lassade opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hi, is there any source that I can get a linux prebuilt binary of tracy?

I don't have enough ram to built it in my linux machine. The built process comumes all my 8GB or ram + 8GB of swap then freezes my entire system :(

Looks like ubuntu has some packages available https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracy did anyone was able to use it?

CI builds Linux artifacts, but they are compiled on Arch Linux which uses a very recent glibc compared to most other distributions. Therefore, they won't run on any other distribution.

I suppose the first step is to move CI to use an older, more compatible base distribution like Ubuntu 24.04 (or 22.04 if possible, so that Debian stable can run it). Once this is done, you can look into improving the packaging so it's more likely to run out of the box, e.g. using AppImage. (Flatpak might not be a good choice due to sandboxing restrictions.)

CI setup won't be changed.
