Description

• Move several Linux builds back to docker. This will resolve dependency issues where the user's environment didn't match our build environment.
• Adds aarch64 packages for deb and rpm packages.
• CUDA compute capability is now determined with logical tests in CMakeLists.txt
  • Fedora 36+ only provides GCC-12, and therefore CUDA 12.x is required. It was found that CUDA Compute Capability 35 is not supported in GCC-12, and further discovered that only CUDA Compute Capability 35 was selected in the previous builds. Now, all supported CUDA Compute Capabilities are selected at build time, based on the installed version of CUDA. I could not find an easy way to install GCC < 12 on Fedora.
• Linux build instructions have been updated to reflect discoveries found during the process of moving back to the Docker images.
• Adds libmfx as required for Bump ffmpeg #769.
• Adds Ubuntu patches to Flatpak build dependencies, replacing Add Ubuntu patches #774.

⚠️ aarch64 builds in the Fedora images are painfully slow. I'm not yet sure why this is so much slower than the Ubuntu images.

Todo:

• get it working
• extract package from docker buildx
• create docker images for various distros and versions
  • Debian Bullseye
  • Fedora 36
  • Fedora 37
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Ubuntu 22.04
• update CI
  • remove RPM build from CI
• publish to docker, tag based on image name
• double check workflow
• triple check workflow
• workflow files to .github repo
  • make sure it works for other LizardByte Docker projects and update them if required (Testing in update docker workflow RetroArcher#190 ... small change required when artifacts are not built in Docker image)
• add release step to upload release assets

For Another PR:

• add Arch image (probably a separate PR)
• remove AUR job from CI (probably a separate PR)
• remove arch linux package action repo from LizardByte (less to maintain)

Update: Will not build AppImage with Docker. More context:
