Linux Samples

[erincatto]

Hello, I have a building issue that I'm sure it's my fault but I can't figure it out, here's what happens.
I'm on archlinux up to date
I clone box2d
I run build.sh
I get this linking error:
/usr/bin/ld: ../shared/libshared.a(random.c.o):(.data+0x0): multiple definition of 'g_seed'; ../shared/libshared.a(human.c.o):(.bss+0x0): first defined here
I checked in human.c but it doesn't redeclare g_seed, so I don't know what to do

Try to get Linux samples building in GitHub actions.

I ran into this as well. Quick fix:

 // Global seed for simple random number generator.
-B2_API uint32_t g_seed;
+
+extern uint32_t g_seed;

The issue seems to be related to the difference in handling of B2_API between C/CXX which turns the declaration in random.h into a definition.

tested on clang 18.1.8 and gcc 14.2.1

That issue is fixed in #847

I still need to add samples to GitHub actions
