Docker Based Build Environment For zaps166/NFSIISE

Cross-platform build environment for zaps166/NFSIISE based on Docker/Podman.

It allows you to build the game binary in an isolated environment. This prevents your system being polluted with all the required development dependencies (which are a lot).

Preparation

First it's required to build the environment based on your desired Ubuntu version:

export os_version=ubuntu-22.04
docker build -f "Dockerfile-${os_version}" -t "tmcw/nfsiise:${os_version}" https://github.com/thomas-mc-work/nfsiise-build-env.git

The variable os_version can be one of:

• ubuntu-14.04
• ubuntu-16.04
• ubuntu-18.04
• ubuntu-20.04
• ubuntu-22.04

Compilation

The latest release of the repository is build on every execution.

docker run --rm -e TZ="$(cat /etc/timezone)" "tmcw/nfsiise:${os_version}" > nfs2se

You can easily modify one of the existing Dockerfiles to adapt to any other Debian based OS or version.

The created binary nfs2se will be dropped into the current folder (./nfs2se).

Final Note

Currently the game is being compiled using the gl1 CLI switch. This is due to a visual regression, which I've encountered lately (2021-03). This issue is being reported here.
