Setup

  * sudo apt update && sudo apt install flatpak flatpak-builder
  * flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Creating a yaml file (example)

app-id: org.vrui.Vrui # needs to be unique especially if put in public repo
runtime: org.freedesktop.Platform
runtime-version: '24.08'
sdk: org.freedesktop.Sdk
command: VruiSoundTest  # Just a placeholder for now, you can change this to any Vrui binary
modules:
  - name: vrui
    buildsystem: simple
    build-commands:
      # 1. Create the config file for the Flatpak environment (disabling PulseAudio explicitly)
      - echo "SYSTEM_HAVE_PULSEAUDIO = 0" > BuildRoot/SystemConfiguration.mk
      - echo "VRUI_INSTALL_ROOT = /app" >> BuildRoot/SystemConfiguration.mk
      - echo "SYSTEM_HAVE_DC1394 = 0" >> BuildRoot/SystemConfiguration.mk      
      # 2. Run the build
      - make
      
      # 3. Install (Vrui's makefile usually handles installation if configured, or we copy manually)
      - make install
    sources:
      - type: dir
        path: .  # This assumes you run the builder from the vrui source root
