linux build scripts for McOsu and McEngine based projects, with patches for relocatable data dirs

this is a meson-based build system for McOsu and McEngine-based projects for linux.

• lets you link against system libraries instead of vendored ones
• heavily parallel compilation, faster than eclipse
• less stuff compiled since we are using system libraries
• can relocate the data directory for a linux-style split install in /usr/share and /usr/bin

I am not gonna try to upstream this for now as it's for linux only and it adds a bunch of ifdefs to fix headers

preparing your dev environment

install meson with your distro's package manager. or install python and do python -m pip install --user meson. you also need git

install the following libraries

• miniz (McOsu only)
• glew
• freetype2
• X11
• libjpeg
• xi
• bass
• bass_fx

curl -Ss https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Francesco149/McBuild/master/prepare.sh | sh

this will prepare and put you in a build directory

now you can edit build.sh to change the meson invocation with the options you want

example of relocating everything to ~/McOsu

meson --prefix="$HOME/McOsu"

example of building with discord-rpc support

meson -Dfeatures=multithreading,pthreads,opengl,sound,discord  ..

when you are ready, run ./build.sh

to install everything to your prefix, run ./install.sh
