Building and running on Linux

[sparr]

I know the README says this is a Windows project, but I thought it worth trying anyway.

I was able to get the project built with just nuget restore && msbuild. The following warnings and errors, all non-fatal, were produced along the way (most repeatedly across many files) which might be worth addressing for correctness:

• warning CS0618: 'Inflater' is obsolete: 'This assembly has been deprecated. Please use https://www.nuget.org/packages/SharpZipLib/ instead.'
• error CS1069: The type name 'IXmlSerializable' could not be found in the namespace 'System.Xml.Serialization'. This type has been forwarded to assembly 'System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' Consider adding a reference to that assembly.
• error CS1069: The type name 'XmlSchema' could not be found in the namespace 'System.Xml.Schema'. This type has been forwarded to assembly 'System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' Consider adding a reference to that assembly.
• error CS1069: The type name 'XmlReader' could not be found in the namespace 'System.Xml'. This type has been forwarded to assembly 'System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' Consider adding a reference to that assembly.
• error CS1069: The type name 'XmlWriter' could not be found in the namespace 'System.Xml'. This type has been forwarded to assembly 'System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' Consider adding a reference to that assembly.
• BSA_Browser/BSA Browser/Classes/WindowStates.cs(64,14): error CS0538: 'IXmlSerializable' in explicit interface declaration is not an interface

Then I was able to run the program! It gave me helpful usage instructions, leading me to try bsab.exe -e Skyrim\ -\ Textures4.bsa outdir. Sadly that, and the same with every other bsa file I have from the base game and mods, produced the same failure mode:

An error occured opening archive:
Could not set up parent class, due to: Could not load type of field 'SharpBSABA2.Archive:<Inflater>k__BackingField' (11) due to: Could not load file or assembly 'ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, Version=4.84.0.0, Cultu

For linux : https://github.com/N3oRay/BSA_Browser/tree/master/BSA%20Browser%20CLI

1 - Install .NET SDK (for example with the command:
sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-8.0

(or by following the official .NET documentation).
2 - Clone the deposit:
git clone https://github.com/N3oRay/BSA_Browser.git
3 - Access the main project file (for according to the version to be compiled).
cd "BSA Browser CLI"
4 - Launch the compilation with:
dotnet build
5 - Publish:
dotnet publish

Currently, only "BSA Browser CLI" works on Linux via the command line.

I am currently working on "BSA Browser" to have a multi-Platfrom project.
