This is should make testing for normal endusers easier by providing
prebuild binaries for them. It also serves as a simple CI by compiling
every commit and Pull Request for Linux, MacOS and Win32. And it saves
time, because (Windows) test build must no longer created by hand.
* Windows is build for Win32 only. We won't add a Win64, because there's
no point in having a 64 bit Windows release and it would break most
existing mods. Savegames are also not compatible between 32 and 64 but
builds.
* MacOS is build to get some test exposure and to publish up to date
binaries to users. This doesn't mean that MacOS is now officially
supported. It stays community supported. The binaries are untested,
because I have no Mac. PRs are welcome. ;)
* Linux is build with ubuntu-latest, which is the last LTS release. The
binaries should work on most other distros.
Windows includes all required dependencies. As a difference to release
builds the curl.dll is taken from upstream and not a cut down custom
build. MacOS and Linux do not ship the dependencies, users should
install them through Brew or their distro.
Github strips file permission when zipping the assets. A work around
would be to create a tar archive and zip that, but that is ugly. I
opted against it, users must mark the binaries executable by hand.
These workflows trigger at each push to the master master branch and at
each new or edited pull request.
Special features like SDL3 are not supported at this time.
