Troubleshooting / Re: Trouble installing on Linux Mint

« on: September 28, 2016, 06:21:11 am »

Alright well in the spirit of experimentation, I removed the milestone package, deleted every openxcom folder I could locate, and installed the ubuntu/mint nightly package from the main page downloads section. I put the game files in the UFO folder in usr/share/games/openxcom and this is what I get:

Code: [Select]

It was doing something similar to this with the milestone version, so I was using sudo to give it permissions to open the folders, since they're in root. However, when I run sudo openxcom with the nightly it gives me this: sudo: openxcom: command not found 


Nevermind guys: All I had to do was put my game date into the UFO folder in /home/user/.local/share/openxcom/ and it started working right away. Thank you both for your help. Now I just need to get my saves from dosbox working and everything will be perfect.

The result from the input is:

 OpenXcom is an open-source clone of the popular UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-COM: UFO Defense in USA)
 turn-based strategy game by MicroProse. It is written in C++ / SDL and licensed under the GPL.
 OpenXcom requires game resources from the original game (DOS, Windows or Steam version).

I did a search for libsdl1.2debian in synaptic and it says that it is installed. I was kind of hoping it wasn't  because it would be a nice simple problem. I'll take a look at libyaml also. I did attempt to install the nightly version, but no matter what I did it gave me an error saying "No Xcom Installation Detected", so I went back to the other version.

Sorry, to be more specific I am using an original (floppy) copy of X-Com which has been fully patched, and I am using Linux Mint 18. The game works normally in DosBox as far as i can tell.

The result of that command is: openxcom/xenial,now 1.0-2~xenial2 amd64 [installed]

I have the milestone version installed also, not the nightly version.

also, on the wiki for linux it says to have a list of packages installed; here are the versions of the packages i have installed for the various packages:

libsdl2-2.0-0
libsdl-mixer1.2
libsdl-gfx1.2-5
libsdl-image1.2
libyaml-cpp0.5v5

Troubleshooting / Trouble installing on Linux Mint

Hello. I am trying to install Open Xcom under Linux Mint via the Ubuntu packages, however I keep getting the error "Unsupported Image Format" with .lbm files in the UFOINTRO folder. I checked the wiki and all of the required packages appear to be installed in the package manager, and I'm pretty sure that my files are in the right folder, but I still get this error. I'm not sure what to do and any advice would be appreciated. I would just run it under wine instead, but that isn't working either.
