Linux support

[dataf3l]

after skimming through the code instructions, I noticed there are no instructions on how to build for linux, does this program support linux?

Sorry, I know nothing about *nix! Can you point me at a list of differences...? TIA

In order to achieve the port, I would follow these steps:

1. Install Virtualbox
2. Install Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 from their website, at least 20GB disk drive
   2.1 learn a bit a bout bash and how to use nautilus
   2.2 get comfortable with using the linux thing, by using it for recreational purposes first.
3. Install gcc (build-essential)
4. possibly install lua-devel?
5. try to build program by creating a cmake file
6. see all the things the compiler doesn't like, and add #idfefs around it
7. setup a cron job so on every commit, there is a "git pull" && "build" so we can test in the future
   if future changes break the build (continuous integration)
8. maybe install a C++ IDE to help with the port (I hear KDevelop is nice, it has rainbow coloring and everything, or maybe netbeans?)
9. test test test
10. publish, have other people help.
