Compiling the linux client

[BooniChan]

Could you provide instructions on how to build the Linux client please?
I was able to build the android client using 'dotnet publish' with some of the switches in build.sh, but if I try to run 'dotnet publish' in the Linux client directory it only builds some library.

This would be great as like this I can write an ebuild for Gentoo to install this - plus it's a pity that an open source project can only be installed from flatpak/precompiled and there is no instructions at all how to build it :(

For the desktop version, you need to build the GalaxyBudsClient subproject instead:

# Assuming you're in the project root directory:
dotnet run --project GalaxyBudsClient/GalaxyBudsClient.csproj
# or
dotnet publish GalaxyBudsClient/GalaxyBudsClient.csproj

That worked, thank you!
May I ask if it has something similar to 'make install' to do a sys install out of curiosity? Apologies, but I think this is my first time building a linux program using dotnet haha

No, I don't think so. To get something equivalent to 'make install', the contents of GalaxyBudsClient/bin/Release/net10.0/publish/ could be copied to /usr/lib/galaxybudsclient/ and then a symlink at /usr/bin/galaxybudsclient that points to /usr/lib/galaxybudsclient/GalaxyBudsClient could be created.
