Some fixes for linking editor on linux #111
Conversation
The package mesa-vulkan-drivers does not really include any header files as header files are only included on *-dev packages.
Using system headers on linux is simpler for system libraries, as those don't need to be copied to the repository, updating manually... Using the same headers for linux and windows can be a problem as some headers have specific configurations per platform. Using the system headers on linux removes this configuration issue as the distro (ubuntu in this case) has already a correct configuration.
Those don't exist as far as I know, so simply use the production library. Distros like fedora include `debug-info` packages, so maybe installing those could help the later gdb debugging. That should be investigated for ubuntu.
Static linking can be a bit tricky on linux (or unix based system's in general). WARNING: this commit changes the configuration also for windows as the build script gets a bit cluttered by the `if os.target() ==...` on definitions and library kind.
FMOD is not currently available on the linux build environment, so all sound related code gets disabled. NOTE: This will be a temporal fix as for now I just wan't to get the runtime and editor running.

Hopefully the error is related with dynamic linking 🤞 This will be my last PR in some time. So for anyone that want's to follow this work I would recommend on fixing the FreeImage realted issues, and finish adding the last libraries to the environment. Linking errors should then be resolved and if there is no undefined behavior or linux vulkan driver specific issues the engine should run just fine. Hopefully I can be back soon 😊 |

Appreciate the work you do, no worries, leave this PR with me, I'll go through it soon |
|
I'll have to do some work before merging this, linking should remain static for Windows |
|
I've done the fixes. I have a couple of free days so I'll put the PR in draft and try to get FreeImage issues solved. |
Ubuntu's version of FreeImage lacked symbols for the `Utilities.h` functions inside the library binary and the header itself. Additionally, when certain libraries need patches (like with freeimage), an additional folder has been created on the build script directory to hold all the necessary patch files.

I'll open it for review/merge. I'll do the follow up work when I have time! |

Linking seems to work fine on Windows again, merging, thanks! |
This PR adds several changes in order to advance on the editor being linked and hopefully runable. The next are the main changes:
It is also important to note that the build environment's freeimage library is missing the
Utilities.hheader and it's functions, so maybe freeimage should be also compiled on the environment like Compressonator?In order to use the docker environment, first build the image by using the next command:
Then you can either enter the container and simply use the shell as normal or just run make on the container and exit:
