Hi,
Fist and foremost, thanks you for this project, very useful to understand how bg3 works.
This PR is more a proof of concept and will probably need some cleanup if we
want to merge it, but I am sending your way to know if I need to put the effort
(or if I should keep this as a fork on my side).
This PR does 2 things:
The toolchain used is mono instead of dotnet, as I understand dotnet doesn't
support the framework version used in this project for Linux.
Build: what is required
The build change are the biggest part of this PR. The following changes were required:
Paths
Most Linux systems/FS are case sensitive, while windows doesn't have this
requirement. I fixed them.
Also, absolute paths start with a slash
/which is considered as an option bygplexandgppg. We use relative paths now (for Linux build, unchanged for Windows).LSLibNativeAFAIK managed C++ is unsupported by mono or .NET Core.
CRC32 now uses the implementation from
System.IO.Hashing,which seems to use the same polynomial.
Convert
Granny2CompressorandLZ4FrameCompressorto C#. By usingDllImport, the .NET runtime will load the correct.dllor.soaccordingly, if they are in the library search path.
Misc
We added some packages and assemblies references required for build.
We updated build documentation for Linux.
Linux needs it own
protoc, we provide a link to download it.Runtime
The biggest change required for runtime was to remove the dependency on
Alphaleonis.Win32.Filesystem. It doesn't work on Linux (it expects a Windowssystem).
I believe a better way to handle long paths would be to follow the instructions
in

although I haven't tested it.
