Running Continuumatrice alongside Cockatrice (Linux)
Continuumatrice is an independent application. You can keep normal upstream Cockatrice for MTG installed and run both without mixing profiles or overwriting executables.
Native CMake targets and output paths
Continuumatrice and its dedicated server use their own CMake target and executable names on every platform:
| Program | CMake target | Linux build output |
|---|---|---|
| Continuumatrice | continuumatrice |
build/continuumatrice/continuumatrice |
| Continuum-Servatrice | continuum-servatrice |
build/continuum-servatrice/continuum-servatrice |
From the repository root on openSUSE:
git switch master
git pull --ff-only
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DWITH_CLIENT=ON -DWITH_SERVER=ON -DWITH_ORACLE=OFF
cmake --build build --target continuumatrice continuum-servatrice --parallel 16
./build/continuumatrice/continuumatrice
The inherited source directories remain cockatrice/ and servatrice/, but the build directories, targets and installed executable names are independent. The old cockatrice and servatrice CMake aliases remain available for existing build scripts; they do not generate upstream-named executables.
Reconfigure the existing build directory after pulling these changes so Ninja regenerates its target list. An old build/cockatrice/continuumatrice or build/servatrice/servatrice file may remain from an earlier build; do not use it to verify the current target.
Linux installs bin/continuumatrice and bin/continuum-servatrice. The new continuumatrice.desktop launcher installs alongside normal MTG Cockatrice, rather than replacing cockatrice.desktop.
The app's Linux icon names are distinct from upstream's. The fork does not install Cockatrice's cockatrice-cod.xml MIME handler or register the cockatrice:// URL scheme, so the two clients can coexist.
Data isolation
Assuming typical XDG locations (and no portable.dat file):
- Data and databases:
~/.local/share/Continuumatrice/ - Decks:
~/.local/share/Continuumatrice/decks/ - Card images:
~/.local/share/Continuumatrice/pics/ - Custom XML:
~/.local/share/Continuumatrice/customsets/ - Preferences:
~/.local/share/Continuumatrice/settings/ - Cache:
~/.cache/Continuumatrice/ - Linux shared translations:
<install-prefix>/share/continuumatrice/translations - Linux shared themes:
<install-prefix>/share/continuumatrice/themes
Its per-user single-instance local socket uses a Continuumatrice-specific name.
System installation (optional)
If you want a separate continuumatrice command and a graphical launcher, first configure the build with a prefix of your choice (e.g., /usr/local for a system install). Then:
sudo cmake --install build
This uses the build's existing CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; check build/CMakeCache.txt if unsure. The Linux client-specific install rules do not replace bin/cockatrice or cockatrice.desktop.
For immediate testing, skip installation and run the executable directly from the build tree. This change has not been compiled in this environment; verify with your openSUSE compiler.
Cross-platform status
The native CMake targets, executable paths and packaging references have been restored from the previous Continuumatrice product-migration branch. Linux is the primary development platform; Windows and macOS packaging changes still require CI verification.
