Prebuilt binaries for all platforms ?

Opened this issue · 1 comments

I feel like having prebuilt binaries for all platforms, not just windows, would help a lot with cross platform usage of the library, especially for people that use bindings like Silk.NET.

Aside from Linux, they only other platform I can make binaries for directly is Android. But I don't think the binaries I create will necessarily be the most compatible. The user would need versions of libraries that are compatible with what my system has. I don't know what kind of compatibility binaries I make for Android would have. Windows works because MinGW only relies on the bare minimum that Windows will have, the audio APIs are fixed and loaded dynamically, and the rest is static linked. OSX I can't cross-compile for.
