Forgetting about Linux?

Is there some major reason I'm overlooking as to why the Linux native can't run the .DLL AIs? Please remember, linux people need .so AIs, and hardly anyone makes them. I feel left out... :|

All AI's except RAI are open-source, so you can always compile them yourself if there's no binary floating around... ;)

Most AI devs use windows, and most .so files are either released with spring or compiled by kloot.

erm, didnt I read something about the buildbot?

Couldnt this bot be used for crossplatform compiling?

*noob thoughts*

Only AAI and KAI are in the svn, of which kai hasnt had much attention lately.

Also these buildbot builds are not standard release they are svn release. So you wont get AAI 8 for 0.74b3, you'll get AAI 0.81 for 0.75svn. Which means to make any sue of them you need an svn build of spring. They're usually work in progress builds too.

TSI, NTai, QAI, and RAI do not use this system either.

could the buildbot be adjusted to fit this role?

If it did there'd only be AAI and KAI builds, and linux users already have those.

You have to go and compile or get soemone to compile the other AIs and distribute the new binary.
