TSC2 with CEGUI on Debian 10 ? #658

Closed xet7 closed 5 years ago

xet7 commented 5 years ago

Hi, is it in any way possible to get CEGUI for Debian 10 ?

Currently I can not use Ubuntu 19.04 based distros (that have kernel 5.x) on my Core 2 Duo laptop that has 8 GB RAM and 500 GB SSD. This is because when opening Firefox, desktop freezes.

I did install Debian 10 so that I could get some stability.

Problem is, CEGUI is not in Debian 10 repos. I did try to build it for some hours without success. I presume getting TSC3 working would require a lot of time.

Some options:

There's nothing for earlier Debian versions, but sid does have cegui: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libcegui-mk2-0.8.7

IMO the issue with newer kernels should try to be resolved regardless, however (hit me up on irc and I can try to help debug it).

cough you could always use the Flatpak cough

Some options:

  • Could someone give Info how to get CEGUI deb packages built for Debian 10, so that they could be hosted on Alexandria? Or would it even be possible to get them included to Debian 10 ?
  • Is there any existing CEGUI packages for Debian 10 ?
  • I have thinked would upgrading to Debian sid help, probably there CEGUI is available, but I don't know how stable Debian sid is.
  • Recommendations welcome for some other more lightwieight OS where TSC would already have existing prebuilt dependencies like CEGUI etc.

If you want precompiled CEGUI packages, you best ask the CEGUI developers if they can provide them: http://cegui.org.uk/

Other than that, I think the problem is going to resolve itself over time when we finally get a 2.1.0 release out and ask a Debian maintainer to include TSC. This will get CEGUI into Debian again as well.

For the intermediate solution, refi's suggestions are fine.
