Title: [Ubuntu] Having trouble with the install
Post by: ubai on August 26, 2015, 06:53:55 am

Hello,

I tried to install the milestone version of OpenXCOM today, but it still seems to be giving me the old version. It says it is 1.0 on the web site, but I am not seeing a "common" folder in /usr/share/local/openxcom and I can't put the UFO data files in my ./local/share/OpenXCOM folder and have them recognized by the game.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

there's your problem. the milestone IS 1.0, the old version. you'll want to get the latest revision from github and make that instead. IRC is probably your best bet for a quick solution.

OK, thanks! I thought 1.0 was all the new stuff. I'll try the github route when I have time.

Let me know if you end up having problems with it detecting your data directory on linux. I was eyeballing this:
https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Engine/CrossPlatform.cpp#L112

When I was making changes for osx and noticed how incredibly tangled everything was.   I was thinking about making this a set of paths, with a fallback defined as well.

Dear ubai, have also a look here (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=3530.0) i think that thread should be pinned up  ::)

Thanks for the replies! I tried the instructions in https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,3530.0.html

but I got the following error:
g++ -O2 -Wall -Wextra -rdynamic  -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/SDL   -c -o ../obj/lodepng.o lodepng.cpp
make: g++: Command not found
make: *** [../obj/lodepng.o] Error 127

I may just have to wait until the newer version becomes a milestone, I'm not a Linux expert or anything.

Thanks,
Matt

Your missing a compiler.

apt-get install gcc

should fix this :>

Thanks for the replies! I tried to install gcc but it says I already have it.

It's a different package. This should help:

apt-get install g++
