Building on Linux

[sphaero]

I guess this project is primarily Windows focused?

I managed to compile it on Linux but had to do quite a few changes. It runs but I can't open a file. Editor seems to work but panels don't:

• First there are some case insensitivity problems I had to correct, ie PathUtils instead of pathUtils
• First I had to use my own GLFW instead of the one in the vendor dir. I'm not familiar with premake so I didn't dive in it.
• change some platform specifics in premake
• glfwIsWindowLightTheme is only recently added to GLFW I guess so had to remove that
• casting to int for ID's is losing precision use long instead
• Utils::Utf8ToWstring doesn't want to compile so remove that
• add some missing includes

Here's the full diff:

As of June 2025, there also seems to be an issue at line 178 in ImGuiController.cpp. I guess 'glfwIsWindowLightMode' isn't apart of any API any more so I simply commented it out and that fixed the compilation issue.
