Files for building a Flatpak forFightcade to ultimately be released on Flathub.

Install the build dependencies:

flatpak install org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp//19.08 \org.freedesktop.Platform//20.08 \org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.toolchain-i386//20.08 \org.freedesktop.Sdk.Compat.i386//20.08

^{(Please referencecom.fightcade.Fightcade.yml if these dependencies change and open a PR against this README)}

And kick off a build using the Makefile:

make build

If you'd like to install the Flatpak locally after building usemake install instead.

If you'd like to test out the Flatpak, a (semi) live version can be accessed by adding my remote

flatpak remote-add --user --no-gpg-verify pobega.github.io http://pobega.github.io/repo/flatpak install --user pobega.github.io com.fightcade.Fightcade

Due to anoutstanding bug in Flatpak you need to manually install the 32-bit compatibility runtimes for Wine

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.Compat.i386//20.08 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32//20.08

Unpacks the tar.gz bundles from Fightcade.com to/app/fightcade/ and builds a very plain version of Wine to run the emulators with.Uses Zypak to wrap the Fightcade Electron binary so that it can run in the Bwrap sandbox.
