Centos Installation

[njohnjoel]

Hi Team , Do you have instructions to install lite on centos ?

[SwissalpS]

Install gcc, lua and SDL2 development libraries. then in terminal clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/rxi/lite.git
cd lite
./build.sh

If there were no errors you can move lite to somewhere on path or make a symlink to it. If there were errors, resolve the missing dependencies and build again.

Either you have not installed SDL2 or it is not on include path. Maybe you have SDL2 installed but not the dev-package?

[njohnjoel]

How can I fix this ?

[SwissalpS]

have you tried yum install SDL2-devel as root?

Edit: similar to what I had:

[njohnjoel]

[root@global ~]# yum install SDL2-devel Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

• base: centos.mirrors.estointernet.in

Install completed .

======================================== Now I get the following error

[joelj@global lite]$ ./build.sh compiling (unix)... In file included from src/lib/stb/stb_truetype.c:2:0: src/lib/stb/stb_truetype.h: In function ‘stbtt_GetGlyphSDF’: src/lib/stb/stb_truetype.h:4517:54: warning: ‘((void )&res+8)’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] px = ititx0 + 2titx1 + tt*x2; ^ linking... cleaning up... done [joelj@global lite]$

[SwissalpS]

cool, just a warning, if used correctly, should not matter. The compiled binary is running, right?

[njohnjoel]

Its not launching the application after the error , I had restarted the machine to try it

[SwissalpS]

no need to reboot What did you do to try and launch it?

[njohnjoel]

The application is not launching ... I just ran the build.sh

[SwissalpS]

so you did not do: ./lite at all?

[SwissalpS]

the build script builds the binary called 'lite'. It needs to be launched after build is complete :D

[njohnjoel]

cool that worked

[SwissalpS]

If you like launching lite with GUI, you can make a lite.desktop file, something like this. Where to put the .desktop file depends on variables I don't know the values to, so try: ~/.local/share/applications/lite.desktop I'm assuming you use gnome.

[jelizarovas]

trying to install it on my chromeboox, compiles fine, but when i run ./lite i get

root@penguin:/home/jelizarovas/lite-1.11# ./lite

[jelizarovas]
