Compiling on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (fresh install)

[EdzUpParticipant]

When compiling on a fresh install on Ubuntu (might be the same with other Linux versions) I got a g++ error as it wasnt installed. Might be a good idea to add it to the Linux section of the github and downloadables readme file.

Now its installed its compiling fine so far

[coconParticipant]

You did something like, sudo apt-get g++?

[EdzUpParticipant]

I used:

sudo apt-get install g++ xorg-dev qtcreator libopenal-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev

 

It compiled and works perfectly now

 

Credit for this goes to Richard Betson as it was his monkey-x.com post that helped immensely.

Yo EdzUp! Do you have a local copy of that little guide I did. Can’t seem to find it here. I’d like to redo it as I’m about to do a fresh install of Linux Mint 18.3 as a daily driver.

@DruggedBunny
Thanks!

I’ve got ubuntu and the git source, but where the hell do I install them?

[Richard BetsonParticipant]

On Ubuntu? I store mine in the ‘ home ‘ directory. In that directory I made a folder (directory) called programming/monkey2/ . Anywhere in the home directory is fine.

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

brilliant. I’ll give it a go ….

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

ok, got it all in the home folder. But what do I do next?

I tried running rebuildall, but get errors about the missing linux mx2cc. when I try and download it from git I get some sort of compressed _dms file?

any suggestions?

[abakoboParticipant]

let’s say you’ve unzipped your monkey-develop from github to the Desktop (which is in the home folder).

on freshly installed Mint, I got build working typing the following, there may be some new libs to install now but it worked at the time :

Monkey

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install g++-multilib libglu1-mesa-dev libopenal-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxxf86vm-dev libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libpulse-dev cd Desktop sudo chmod +x -R ./monkey2-develop cd monkey2-develop/scripts ./rebuildall2go.sh

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install g++-multilib libglu1-mesa-dev libopenal-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxxf86vm-dev libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libpulse-dev cd Desktop sudo chmod +x -R ./monkey2-develop cd monkey2-develop/scripts ./rebuildall2go.sh

^I’m about to get Mint 18.3 going and run through all of this including Emscipten and Android. I’ll look over what you have done vs. what I end up doing. I’ll post a new install guide and we all can work to improve it. Sound good?

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

yep. Sounds good.
@abakobo thanks for the listing. the sudo part was excellent

nothing about linux is a simple thing -hmm

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

ok. I think it compiled – everything looked like it was compiling anyway.

next problem – I’m HATING linux

go into the monkey folder
Monkey2(Linux) is listed (although icon looks like text)
click Monkey2(Linux)
it pops up a dialog ‘could not display “Monkey2(Linux)”‘. There is no application installed for shard files.

Anyone have a scoobie what is going wrong now?

I know it’s now me but surely there must be a simple way to do this. Even DOS was a walk in the park compared to this…
