README.markdown

This project contains three scripts to help working with the steam-runtime, especially outside of Steam.

See these blog posts for more details:

• steam-runtime without Steam
• Self-contained game distribution on Linux

update_runtime.sh

A script to download the runtime, but only if it has been updated since last time.

extract_runtime.sh

A script to extract the important bits of the runtime, skipping the huge amount of documentation present (and optionally, the binaries for irrelevant architectures.)

launch_wrapper.sh

A simple launcher script for your game to ensure your game executes inside the steam-runtime, and to aid in running it under gdb.
