That looks great! It's C# though, so I have no idea how to build this under Linux. I also wish there was a Minetest backend. Similar: OSM to Minecraft[0][1] (

That looks great! It's C# though, so I have no idea how to build this under Linux. I also wish there was a Minetest backend. Similar: OSM to Minecraft[0][1] (there should be another code drop soon-ish, I heard [2] they plan to move the dev effort to GitHub by the end of the year).

Looks like the GUI uses WinForms, which means you won't be able to build it on linux, I would wager. You may, however, be able to run an already built version of it through Wine.

  Well, I wasn't too interested in the GUI anyway :)

  The GUI code looks very simple at first glance - just four buttons and file picker and background worker. Chances are this would be straight-forward to port to a .NET command-line tool that would be cross-platform assuming there's nothing Windows-specific in the domain logic.

    Thinking about it, wouldn't mono support this fairly well? I don't have much experience with mono nor C#, but going from a sibling comment and my package manager, I would be tempted to install mono-msbuild-sdkresolver and run `mono build`. Of course, I believe a command-line tool is a better fit, especially if one wants to automate this. The real value of this project probably lies in the buildings the author made :)

      I'm the author, and the GUI is indeed not the focus of this project. It's just there so people can do the conversion in a few clicks.

      Yes, Mono did come with a kinda sorta cross-plat version of WinForms, which should do fine with something as simple as this.

Usually, building C# projects on Linux is as simple as getting the .NET SDK using your favorite package manager and running `$ dotnet build` at the root of the project. Just FYI.

  Thanks for the tip! I saw some .sln files and I assumed project information was only stored in a Visual Studio-specific format.
