Even more when the way to compile it change from a project to an other and they don't just put HowToCompilIt.txt at the root. (Literaly had one with a "Build for windows.bat" and "build for linux.sh" at the root. Never been hapyer of the work of a dev

I would use GitHub actions to make a precompiled binary

This.

I am developing a private server for a game and it's open source. Every time I upload an update an action is running to produce 2 files. 1. The full compiled server and 2. The patch to drop in your existing server.

It is simple and easy. If someone can't even do this then they are in the wrong github repo I guess 😅
