make fails on ubuntu 16.04

[spicemint]

when running "make" it fails on ubuntu 16.04, libplist-dev is installed (" libplist-dev is already the newest version (1.12-3.1ubuntu0.16.04.1)."

I verified that current uxplay builds correctly on ubuntu 20.04.

AHA! On ubuntu 20.04 sudo apt install libplist-dev "libplist-dev is already the newest version (2.1.0-4build2).

If I uninstall libplist-dev, I get an error telling me its missing when cmake is run, and the Makefile doesnt get built. so that isnt the error.

But you have libplist 1.12 which I believe is far too old sudo apt remove libplist-dev

Try to install libplist 2.1 from ubuntu 20.04.

Or see the macOS build instructions in README to easily build libplist from source.

I'll fix CMakeLists.txt to warn about a too-old libplist.

[fduncanh]

from README for macOS builds:

If you have have the standard GNU toolset (autoconf, automake, libtool, etc.) installed, you can also download and compile the source code for these libraries

Similarly, for libplist, download the source as a zipfile from github as libplist-master.zip, then unpack ("unzip libplist-master.zip ; cd libplist-master"), build/install ("./autogen.sh ; make ; sudo make install")

I'll check if you can uninstall libplist afterwards (probably not, unlike macOS case, which is a static build). Edit: leave it installed, create a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libplist.conf containing "/usr/local/lib" and run "sudo ldconfig" This allows uxplay to find the shared libplist library when it runs on ubuntu. (or just copy the libplist files from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib) Some python-devel package is probably needed for you to build libplist , as well as automake, autoconf, libtool.

maybe this might work?

that certainly helped me to get it working, it is indeed a version issue. I grabbed the liblist-dev https://download.nus.edu.sg/mirror/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libplist/libplist-dev_2.0.0-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb installing it with

dpkg -i libplist-dev_2.0.0-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

gave an error that it needs libplist3 so grabbed that too: https://download.nus.edu.sg/mirror/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libplist/libplist3_2.0.0-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb then dpkg -i libplist3_2.0.0-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb now dpkg -i libplist-dev_2.0.0-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb and then "make" works problem solved, thanks :)
