Installing R-Cade on Linux (KDE Manjaro and Ubuntu) #35

Open gaianoseworthy opened 10 months ago

gaianoseworthy commented 10 months ago

So, I've been attempting to install R-Cade on multiple Linux machines, but have found that my attempts have failed up until this point, so I am reaching out for help here. I have successfully installed OpenAL and libsndfile, but I am struggling on CSFML.

Computer Specs CPU: 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 4800H GPU: NVIDIA TU116 (GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile) Ram: 16GB at up to 3200 MT/s OS: 64-bit system, two attempts on both the latest KDE Ubuntu build and KDE Manjaro 6.5.9-1

Attempts at a solution

  1. I first made use of the instructions on the setup site, including the details found here. After 2 tries on each of Manjaro and Ubuntu, I gave up on that. Note: The results on this site don't seem to load anymore, hiding all of the coding blocks (tested on Firefox only), so I had to get the most recent internet archive version from July.
  2. I then attempted to install the Arch and Ubuntu CSFML packages, including both CSFML Git and CSFML main on arch, and the Ubuntu equivalents.

Summary Overall, I am now quite stuck. I want to get R-Cade working to build a bit of an educational exercise, but I am struggling to progress.

Sorry for a late reply. I didn't notice this issue.

It's been a while, but IIRC there was an issue w/ CSFML on Linux, but that was a while ago. Perhaps a simple sudo apt install libcsfml-* will now install 2.5.1 since it's been out for quite a while now (or the yum equivalent)?

What I want to do is provide pre-compiled binaries for each of the (major) operating systems and add them to the package. I just haven't had time to do so.

If you supply the error(s) you're getting trying to build/install it maybe I can help, though.
