I’m actually not sure how they built the libraries since they didn’t provide any documentation on it. From the looks of things, they intended the build setup to be immutable and assumed 32-bit, which was a bit unusual in 2020. For context, I dropped 32-bit support for BOSS back around 2015 or so. Hopefully they respond to my email 🙂

For decoupling the bundled libraries, we could take a look at the list of included tools here. The Linux script will be much easier for me to manage when we get there but, for now, we should be able to use the included Git command to download everything. As for how to handle checking out stable versions, that’ll require some thinking. Could probably use a dependencies file that we parse or something but ResIL appears to just use a main branch. I’ll need to clone the repository to see if it may just be a limitation with the Sourceforge interface

Oh, neat. They provide a MacOS image so we’ll be able to build for Mac without paying the developer fees. Won’t be able to host it in the App Store without an account but users should still be able to use it
