This repository contains a Dockerfile that will spit out the binary (and possibly some runtime .so dependencies) for various Faster Melee versions.

Basically all it does is set up a container in which to run this installer script by Nikki. This might be needed due to modern operating systems possibly not meeting (easily) the build/runtime requirements.

I needed this when I wanted to practice doubles on a CPU again. Maybe someone else finds it some day.

Firstly, install docker. Then run:

docker build \
    --build-arg CPU_COUNT=$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN 2>/dev/null) \
    --output type=tar,dest=slippi.tar \
    .

After this finishes, you should have a tar file named slippi.tar on your machine. Unpack this file somewhere, e.g.:

mkdir -p ~/.config/fm_slippi/
tar -xf slippi.tar -C ~/.config/fm_slippi/

Then you can run the executable (with the exported object files) in that directory as follows:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.config/fm_slippi/lib/ ~/.config/fm_slippi/slippi-r18-netplay

In missing_libs.txt you can change what shared objects you want to copy over from the container.

You can inspect Dockerfile to see the possible arguments.
