Installation When will orbiter run natively on Linux?

[t3kkm0tt]

I have been using orbiter with dxvk and wine for some days and i was asking myself when/if orbiter will be available (officially, native and stable) for Linux. That would be so great since that would make running it easier and offer better performance. Thanks in advance.

@Gondos has been working quite a bit on an "experimental" Linux port. It works very well as far as I can tell; I use it daily and to develop some C++ add-ons.
There's still a lot of work to be done, but @Gondos suggested first implementing and unifying everything on Windows and then bringing it to Linux.

Yeah, I saw that one. I couldn't get it to work somehow (i forgot the error) although i followed the instructions. I am not experienced in C languages. I only code in Rust, so i don't know.

I will try again now, fingers crossed. One more thing: Could you add a guide on how to compile Multistage2026 for linux in the README?

That's right, thanks.
I need to create a short guide for compiling Multistage2026 on Linux and Windows using CMake.

Give me a moment and I'll put together a short step-by-step guide on GitHub.

That looks good. If you want it to look a bit better, you could use markdown code blocks (explained here: https://markdown.land/markdown-code-block)

Well, I got this error when executing cmake .. && make -j14:

Thanks, I'm new (and clumsy) with Markdown.

Thanks for letting me know, I had forgotten about it.
