Electron Build

1.Add G_SLICE prefix to fix crashing on Ubuntu23.10

/resources/app.js
process.env.G_SLICE='always-malloc'

2.Install node@14.16.1 in your system

3.Install npm dependencies in USER directory

npm i electron@11.2.0 sharp@0.28.3 electron-builder@20.0.7

4.Replace the 'node_modules', 'package.json' and 'utils' by this repo.

5.Copy all files and folders in /resources from Windows/Mac install, except app.asar.

6.Now you are able to run with electron!

cd /resources/app
electron .

AppImage Build

Since Appimage is read-only inside, we need to fix the cache dir frist.

1.Ignore internal assets auto saving /resources/app/asset-db/lib/meta.js

if(a.indexOf("default-assets")==-1){
t.writeFileSync(a,JSON.stringify(i,null,2));
}

2.Fix build cache path /resources/app/editor/core/gulp-build.js

...
os = require('os'),
...
jsCacheDir:Editor.url(os.homedir()+"/.cache/"+G),

3.Remove /resources/cocos2d-x/simulator/mac

4.Build AppImage

npm run build

The exec file will be in ./dist !!

Trouble Shooting

1.This version only supports Debian12, Ubuntu20-23 or the other distros published at the near time, such as Arch linux. Latest Linux will be crashed due to the sharp@0.28.3 and libvip libraries. You can found them in /resources/utils.

In AppImage, one possible solution is to replace the system libs by the libs from Debian12/Ubuntu20, however I dont know which one will fix the issue.

A.Place the libs in /resources/lib

B.Add the env in /resources/app.js

process.env.LD_LIBRARY_PATH = process.resourcesPath + '/lib';

2.Only Cocos Creator 2.4.3 ~ 2.4.6 is tested, it's not able to translate ccc to js in 2.4.7 and above.

3.Cocos may fail at first time build in a new BUILD_PATH, just re-build again.

4.There are some inhouse modules from Cocos in /resources/app/node_modules, such as @base.
