Add unicorn submodule for Linux about vita3k HOT 15 CLOSED

I think at some point, if we add official Linux support we can change macOS to use a Unicorn install from Homebrew or something rather than bundle a prebuilt version.

I absolutely hate having it prebuilt and only did it because the process to build it on Windows was too complex and I wanted parity between platforms.

Simply install unicorn(-dev) through your package manager.

@Ghabry unicorn is absent on Debian archive

@Sunderland93 How is that Vita3K's problem?

from vita3k.

@VelocityRa Vita3K contains unicorn submodules for Mac and Windows. Why not add for Linux too?

from vita3k.

It contains compiled libraries actually, not submodules. It isn't compiled from source.

from vita3k.

@VelocityRa I know that. It's a big problem to add precompiled library for Linux?

from vita3k.

the problem is that you have hundreds of versions of Linux and that it is almost impossible to provide a precompiled binary that works everywhere.

from vita3k.

So is there any workaround for this yet? I have ubuntu's packed for unicorn installed and i still crash with the the system sayns that it cant find unicorn

from vita3k.

Not sure, we don't have any active devs on Linux afaik.

This seems to be fixed, or am I reading the file tree incorrectly?

from vita3k.

Yes, you are reading the tree incorrectly. Submodule looks like this:

Unicorn is being shipped as binary in 3 platforms. It reduces compile times, but debug symbols is nowhere to be found (release binary)

from vita3k.

Solved with #478?

from vita3k.

You ought to be correct, @scribam
