Meka for Linux - again (Aspire One)
Post Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 6:39 pm
I got an Aspire One mini-laptop with a Fedora-flavoured Linpus Linux on it and all the Meka binaries for Linux seem not to work. It is still a regular 32-bit x86 type deal (Atom CPU). So here's one I built (with no sound) from the latest SVN. You might need to
sudo yum install allegro

and a bunch of other stuff (zlib, libpng?) but this is my first running Meka on Linux (I didn't even test it yet).
meka-aspireone.zip (384.26 KB)

To confirm (since I reinstalled recently): you will need to do that Allegro install, and copy in most of the regular Meka support files from another download.

Compiling from sources is the correct way to go under Linux. Providing only the executable within a zip file is not much useful. Usually you should build a package for your distribution. In this way you can pull in the needed dependent packages.

If you want, I can provide an src.rpm for Fedora of latest release.

Bye,

Andrea.

But the AA1 by default comes without any compilers installed and most users (ie. not proper Linux hackers) probably don't want to be bothered to install SVN, GCC, a bunch of packages with -devel on the end of their names, etc.

By all means make a proper RPM package, I have no idea how to do that which is why I didn't.

A .bin file for Ubuntu would be great as well !
