Linux support (newer SDK?)

[ChristophHaag]

I can do a little work on it to get it to run on Linux but it looks like this is based on an old SDK before there was linux support for gold source. I tried an interactive rebase on the upstream one at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife with deleting the first commit in this repository but it looks like there are a lot of conflicts to fix first. Is that something you'd be willing to do?

Hey! Yes, unfortunately my SDK base was outdated. I'd sure be willing to look into this, but I only have so much time.

Thanks for all your hard work @maxvollmer we appreciate it, this would be fantastic if you can find the time

So I looked into this, and merging with an up-to-date SDK is unfortunately not in any way achievable. The changes made to the source code are too great, and trying to do this is essentially equivalent to coding the entire mod from scratch (which tbh might not be such a bad idea from a "first do it, then do it right" pov, but time and resources are constrained, so it's off the table). However it should be possible to add linux support by sitting down for a week and tediously going through each and every compiler error (and warning!) when trying to compile for linux. There's also the problem that some of the third party stuff the mod uses is currently very Windows heavy, but I am sure it can be solved. If anyone likes to help (on the code side of things), please get in touch!

Thank you for considering linux support
