After compiling as above, I copied over the OpenXcom/bin/openxcom executable (that I just make'd) to the piratez-folder from the archive, and that ran as far as showing the intro movie and playing music, but then hung HARD, I couldn't even switch to virtual console or nothing, had to do hard reset. So I guess that was not the right thing to do ^__^'
Edit: If I get this to work, I will make sure to write something about it, that you can put there. Poor linux people! Anyway, instructions for Kubuntu would be fine, all the *ubuntu flavours work the same at that level I should think. And that is the most popular distribution.
Edit2: reading along in that thread you mentioned, I seem to have gotten the right executable after all. So why does it hang so badly on me
This is what I've done:
1. extract archive with 0.99 piratez
2. add GEODATA etc. into UFO (patched and all)
3. compile Meridians OpenXCom to get the openxcom executable
4. put it in the piratez-folder (it has the right permissions set).
Shouldn't that work?
Edit3:
AH! Log file:
Huh?
Edit4:
AHA! I tried removing my config folder (.config/openxcom), and got just fatal error 11 :/ See here:
