How do I create a working Linux export?

I've never been able to successfully run a Linux build. What am I doing wrong?

I found this post from just a few months ago and followed all the steps multiple times, but no luck:

Has something changed since then? I'm using the newest stable build of Construct 2 and I believe a pretty recent NW.js (no more than six month old, definitely the same or newer than the version referenced in that post. For testing, I'm using a recent Ubuntu installation on a VM.

Probably. My Java mentor said, "Two years is an eternity in the computer world." So, a few months is still a good amount of time.

Here are some quick links I dug up on Google:

Ehen you export as Nw.js , It works with windows and linux, in fact, Nw.js is made for Windows and Linux, but not Mac

I linked that Scirra forum post already. Was not helpful. Nexe sounds vaguely promising though, thanks.

I'm aware that NW.js is supposed to work on Linux, but my exports don't.

what happens when you try running it?

I've ran stuff on linux in a vm, but the webgl effects would not be working.

Nothing. Just double clicking the nw file in the folder does nothing and when I try running it from the terminal (per the instructions on that post linked a few times above, changing permissions to execute and using "./nw"), also nothing.

Have you tried building something recently? I'd be curious if anyone here has and could confirm that it works at all, even with an empty project.

No errors on build, no warnings, nothing?

We can't help you man, if the problem is this vague

I'd assume that if there was a general bug in the linux export, Ashley would know.

I remember when I last ran it I had to right click the file and go to properties, then permissions and enable execute permission before it will run.

also, some Linux distributions lack libudev.so.0 which is required to run node.webkit apps

I don't know if that is the same case for nw.js
