I'm finding this mod impossible to set up for Linux, and wondering if anyone here would be able to help.
The mod author has not compiled a Linux build for the current version of the game. And since we're months from the release at this point, I'm going to assume that the mod author has no intention of compiling a Linux release. The XPiratez mod shouldn't be too hard for me to drop into a 7.12.5 linux build of OpenXCom... the problem is I can't find one.
At this point, I don't know what the 7.12.5 windows build of OpenXCom that's included in the XPiratez download is. Is it a custom modified version of OpenXCom by the mod author to be able to do things with XPiratez that the 7.12 build can't? If so, then I'm going to have to ask for access to a repository that contains the source for this modified version of OpenXCom, so that I may be able to compile a Linux build myself. Is it the state of the OpenXCom repository at the time the 7.12.5 build was made? If so, then that might make it impossible for Linux users to build the same version. There has doubtless been work on the source since the 7.12.5 pull two months ago, and there doesn't appear to be any subversion control on the repository to make it possible for us to pull a version of the source from that state.
So I have to turn to asking for help in getting the 7.12.5 build for Linux. Please help? I understand if the mod author doesn't have the resources available to make a Linux build, so all I'm asking is for the source (not even the XPiratez source, just the source for 7.12.5) so I can build it myself.
