Cannot Install on Ubuntu 20

I tried the appImage and it wouldn't work. I then tried to compile the game myself:

I'm on Zorin 16 which is based on Ubunutu 20. I've tried exhaustively to get the original game to work on Wine and I can't get that to work either!

@whipowill old SDL2? seems need to investigate which minimal version can be used

[whipowill]

Let me know how I can help. When I run the akhenaten.linux file I get this:

./akhenaten.linux: error while loading shared libraries: libcpptrace.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

For what it's worth, I got the Windows version working just fine using Wine. So I am going to play with that. Let me know if you want me to test anything with your Linux side of things. The Augustus mod comes with a nice little AppImage file that works perfectly on Linux.

Can you fix it? I'm not a Linux man ;)

@whipowill What version do you get if you run sdl2-config --version in the terminal? If you get a version below 2.0.17 you might have to install SDL2 using their github.
