Compiling on Archlinux

[Dinth]

I want to compile TOME4 on Archlinux. I download source code and unpack it. Now i dont have any makefiles in it, so try to run:

Code: Select all

$ lua ./premake.lua

unfortunatelly i get error

Code: Select all

lua: ./premake4.lua:1: attempt to call global 'newoption' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
	./premake4.lua:1: in main chunk
	[C]: ?

What im doing wrong ?

You need to install premake first. Then use these commands:

Code: Select all

premake4 gmake
make

(You might have to use some explicit pathname to the premake4 program, depending on exactly how you install it. I put mine in /usr/local/bin so I wouldn't have to worry about that.)

Ok thanks for help. Now i have TEngine compiled. How i should install it now (what directores/binaries/data files and where in my filesystem)

[greycat]

I don't install it at all. I run it directly from where it was compiled. I believe this is the intent, though if one of the developers wants to correct me, I won't mind.

[Dinth]

Thats bad, because i would like to package it for Archlinux to AUR repository:(

AFAIK, you can move the compiled program anywhere and it wont affect it. The game contains everything it needs and will set up a folder automatically to contain information (saves/profile/etc) in the HOME directory.

Ok, i will test it tomorow, and try to make package.
I also suggest devs to make TEngine respect linux directory schema - binary to /$prefix(usr)/bin, other files to /$prefix(usr)/lib/tengine4, etc...

also i have error when i want to run tengine

Code: Select all

q(23:11:%)  q(sob,lip17)j./t-engine
WARNING: No bootstrap code found, defaulting to working directory for engine code!
Lua Error: attempt to call a string value

PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (Unable to initialize: attempt to call a string value)

[greycat]

You might need to set up a shell script wrapper that changes working directory to wherever you've installed the Lua code, and then executes the actual binary.

Here:

./bin/Debug/t-engine

assuming you are in the root of the Tome directory...
