Task (REQUIRED):
There are a number of very common issues on Linux that we could solve in a defold.sh launch script:

Expected outcome (REQUIRED):
The bash script could do the following:

  • Mesa GL version mismatch - run glxinfo and set MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE to the reported version
  • Mesa driver version - Check Mesa driver version and set MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE if needed
  • Outdated/unsupported graphics drivers - Detect and set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE to fall back to software rendering
  • Missing required version of libffi - Check libffi version and either install or suggest to install the correct version and set LD_PRELOAD
