Installing Love on Linux Mint

[Trowen]

I tried to lntall Love 9.0 using

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install love

but this installed version 8.0.0. I also tried to install the .deb files but it threw me an error.

Code: Select all

dpkg -i -R /home/trowen/Desktop/

What do I do to get 9.0.0?

[bartbes]

It's 0.9.0, not 9.0.0, and you can most easily get it from my ppa.

[Trowen]

0.9.0 LOL sorry . Anyways thanks I got 0.9.0 working with the PPA!

Asking the inverse of this question, once the (Arch, in this case) repo gets updated, where can I get 0.8.0?
Is there and "old builds" area?

[slime]

Arch now has a "love08" package (and the "love" package has been updated to 0.9.0).

That was fast! Awesome!

I'm sticking with Arch, I guess

I remember building 0.7.2 once, wasn't hard and didn't interfere with 0.8.0 (much). I was on Mint, but how different can it be?
