DIV ARENA FORUMS

anyone running DIV on ubuntu?

Help!
I've been trying to get DIV running on Ubuntu. No luck so far.
When I try to run d-linux nothing happens, not even an error.
Is there anything obvious that I might be missing?

you probably need to install some packages
Code:
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-mixer libsdl1.2-debian


should do the trick

DIV is developed on debian so this should not be an issue :)

dom cook - 4-3-2016 at 03:02 PM

That was quick. Thanks

I should really package it up into a .deb file but haven't got around to it yet.

Did installing those libs help?

dom cook - 4-3-2016 at 03:06 PM

I'll let you know in a jiffy

dom cook - 4-3-2016 at 03:17 PM

Didn't work. Here's what I got when I tried to install:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libsdl1.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Unable to locate package libsdl1.2-mixer
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libsdl1.2-mixer'
E: Package 'libsdl1.2' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package debian

I think we both got this wrong.

The correct mixer package is libsdl-mixer1.2
the correct libsdl package is libsdl1.2-debian (not libsdl1.2 debian)
Code:
sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl1.2-debian


try that :)

dom cook - 4-3-2016 at 03:33 PM

will do.
I was trying this when I saw your last post

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev

It took a while but it seems to have got DIV running.

I'll try your one now just for good measure.

dom cook - 4-3-2016 at 03:37 PM

I tried :

sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl1.2-debian

I got:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libsdl1.2-debian
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libsdl1.2-debian'

But all that other shtuff seemed to do the trick. Nice teamwork.

By the way. I forgot to say. Thanks a million for resurrecting DIV. I might never manage to produce anything with it but simply knowing it's there is so reassuring.

MikeDX - 4-3-2016 at 03:52 PM

Looks like you've installed the dev packages of SDL - not really needed for this but as long as you're up and running that's the main thing :) I believe if you install libsdl-mixer1.2 package it should pull (whatever libsdl1.2 is on your system) in as a dependancy.

Thanks for your support. You might produce something amazing - plenty of our users have gone on to have VERY successful programming careers after starting with DIV :)

Hi,

I've installed libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-net1.2 libsdl1.2debian and I managed to run Div on Ubuntu Linux but when trying to run a Game I get the following error:

/divrun-LINUX: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.22' not found (required by ./divrun-LINUX)

Am I missing any other libraries? Perhaps lib-gcc? I get this issue at last nightly build

Thanks!

Hola josepgames,

Necesitas instalar el paquete de glibc 2.22 o superior, parece que tu SO no la contiene, puedes encontrala aqui:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/

Aunque lo mejor es que bajes el paquete directamente del Ubuntu Center o shell.

Hello josepgames,

Need to install the glibc 2.22 o greater, seems that your SO don't have this, you can download from:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/

However, the best option is to install it via the Ubuntu Center or shell.

That's really strange. I develop DIV on ubunutu. It should work

Also it's odd it is complaining about divrun-LINUX as that's never usually ran directly,

If the ide runs the games should run - although they should run with divdbg-LINUX so that's even more confusing as to what's happening

josepgames - 2-11-2016 at 12:34 PM

Thanks for your replies.
From Div Studio i get the following error:

system/divdbg-LINUX: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.22' not found (required by system/divdbg-LINUX)

CicTec - 2-11-2016 at 12:38 PM

Parece que falte la libc como indique anteriormente, intenta instalarla y ver si soluciona el problema.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's seems lacking the glibc as mentioned before, try to install it and see if it solves the problem.

josepgames - 2-11-2016 at 01:00 PM

Hi,

I've tryied installing version 2.24 for this .deb

https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libc6-udeb/download

But still raises the same error. It seems 2.22 is required and can't be a higher version...

Which version of ubuntu are you running?

Thanks

CicTec - 2-11-2016 at 01:06 PM

Ok, entonces es posible que haya incompatibilidades entre las 2 versiones y la libreria usada y necesaria para DIV sebe ser la 2.22, espera que Mike pueda revisionar el asunto.

Yo la he probado son el Windows y ahi funciona todo bien.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --

Ok, then it is possible that there is some incompatibility between the two versions of the library used and necessary for the DIV should be 2.22, expect that Mike can view the theme.

I tried it only in windows and it works fine there.

CicTec - 2-11-2016 at 01:11 PM

En alternativa, desinstala la 2.24 y prueba a instalar exactamente la 2.22.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alternatively, try uninstalling the 2.24 and installs exactly 2.22.

josepgames - 3-11-2016 at 03:29 PM

I cannot find version 2.22 :fake sniffle:

CicTec - 4-11-2016 at 09:51 AM

Mmmm ok, I have no other ideas at moment, maybe Mike discovers the cause of the problem.

josepgames - 4-11-2016 at 10:08 AM

For the ones who managed running Div DX under Ubuntu, could you tell me which version are you running?

Thanks

MikeDX - 4-11-2016 at 10:44 AM

I run ubuntu 16.04 at home and debian stretch/squeeze on the server.

What version are you running?

josepgames - 4-11-2016 at 11:17 AM

I was trying with Ubuntu 14.04 I'll try on 16.04

josepgames - 4-11-2016 at 06:42 PM

On ubuntu 16.04 works fine, but does not find files at proper directories. When I load an fpg or map file, for instance, even having prg file at root folder (where there are subfolders for each extonsion), states file not found. Same situation works fine with windows version. Any clue?

MikeDX - 4-11-2016 at 07:07 PM

That is probably due to case sensitive file system. On linux DIV looks for upper and lowercase filenames but not mixed (so file.ext is different to file.EXT)

josepgames - 23-12-2016 at 08:49 AM

I tried with 14.04 and works fine!
