Can't run ToME natively on Ubuntu

#1 Post by DarthImbreedous »

I downloaded the .12 linux version, but every time I try to run it I get a blank window for a second, and then it closes down again.

Any ideas?

Did you download the source or the compiled version?

If it is the source then you should look here for what you will need to compile... then issue two commands...

You might have to muck around with pathnames...

1) ./premake gmake
2) make
and to run after it has compiled:

./bin/Debug/t-engine

If you downloaded the compiled version you should be in the main directory and run it from there. I can't remember much about this since I very rarely use it, perhaps someone else can help.
Regards

Jon.

Hm, yeah, it turns out I was trying to click on it from the file browser. From console it runs, apparently

if everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane

both the precompiled binary DG provides and the compiled source run fine for me. I launch it using a bash script though, makes it launchable from the app menu.

I am still having crashes ever since beta 11, regarding the radeon error. Maybe later I will try to play some beta 10 again and see if that is stable. At least I will know if it's me or what at that point. :)
