Xubuntu/Ubuntu 222

[GH-MrSomebody]

Rather than add this to several (b/c they're all outdated!) was anybody able to get this to work on Xubuntu/Ubuntu 22 ?

Worked through dependencies for HOURS [only some of which were listed] but finally gave up.
[doesn't help that nearly all posts R outdated, trying to "fix" stuff w advice given 10+ years ago! [no joke!]
Yes, 95% no longer relevant.
Example: [this was from here, Github] "software center" ----OMG can't tell you how many times somebody has said that, & it MAY have once been true, but even 2 versions later, what's offered/avail there, changes---a LOT.

Anyway now get a REALLY long mess when try to compile, don't even understand all of it!

We have CI producing builds for Ubuntu on this fork https://github.com/OpenSRProject/OpenStarRuler, also see the launchpad for a GUI installer https://github.com/OpenSRProject/OpenStarRuler-Launchpad

Sorry I don't see it ---even tried a search for "Ubuntu" - no luck

Will try the launchpad thing---thanks.

sorry, didn't realize packages were slightly different!
https://github.com/OpenSRProject/OpenStarRuler using package from there 2 overwrite existing SR2 package [much larger] hope that's right? trying "make" now.......

OMG I GOT A BIN FILE!!! * WOO HOO THANK YOU!!! ***

[GH-MrSomebody]

seriously, REALLY need to clarify that that one [& how to overwrite it!] is for Xubuntu/Ubuntu.
Nothing about it in readme.

[GH-MrSomebody]

YEA WORKING!!! God bless you Skeletonxf !!!

It sounds like you kept trying to build the game yourself? You could have just downloaded the prebuilt binaries from https://github.com/OpenSRProject/OpenStarRuler/tags - I think that's what Skeleton was trying to suggest, considering his mention of the CI.

On the bright side, it sounds like you figured out the build after all, which I think puts you a step ahead of me! 😂 (I only ever managed to build the game once, and it was on Windows.)

[GH-MrSomebody]

Didn't even know that was an option!

I'm no Linux expert but do know dependencies vary quite a bit from "flavor" or "version", I assumed binaries did too?

The link Skeleton gave me was Ubuntu specific, & it wasn't big, but must've had whatever file(s) ? I was missing!

Did u use Visual Studio 2017? Haven't used that version, but tried an older one a while back---royal pain, wasn't easy either.

-->> People talk a lot about "AI" [complete BS] & there's been some good talks about how to test intelligence, SHOW ME SOMEONE WHO CAN PROGRAM, or, even simpler, troubleshoot, detect, & fix, 20+ dependencies [or, say, 40+ "bugs" that keep a program from running properly], that, now, THAT, takes INTELLIGENCE! Machines can BE programmed, but they can't program anything themselves.

PS not on Github much, not even sure why that section is Bold/larger lol!
