Why don't you release statically linked Linux binaries?
I'm inexperienced Linux user who doesn't want to compile anything and is not able to make the deb package work.
Yes It's only my problem but I think this is usual way of distributing software. Even the Firefox does it.
Thanks

Linux binaries request
>>I love LÖVE.<<
Re: Linux binaries request
Hello Green_Hell, long time no see.
Some of the dependencies are LGPL'd, which means that they disallow static linkage (no, I'm not going to GPL LÖVE). But it would be nice to remove most of the dependencies ... so I'll consider it. It might take a while, though.
Meanwhile, which distribution are you using?

Re: Linux binaries request
just to know, why don't you want to use the gpl for löve?
Btw I see this on the wikipedia page about the zlib licence:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlib_License
GPL compatible Yes
Is the zlib close to the bsd licence ?
A static binary would be nice yes, and easier to redistribute with the games.

Re: Linux binaries request
I'd like to know the problem with the DEB package... it probably isn't really that hard to solve

That's the funniest. I'm using Debian Lenny.rude wrote: Meanwhile, which distribution are you using?

I found the solution. I installed package by dpkg -i and then opened Synaptic and repaired problematic package.
Now I'm running LÖVE! :ugeek:
But it wouldn't be me if I didn't have another problem. The performance is slow(graphic lags) I'm quite sure it's because Open GPU drivers (System crashes with ATI Drivers).

Re: Linux binaries request
I thought ATI finally got Linux drivers out there a while ago? Why not use the ones ATI provide? (Unless you mean that the slow performance is some kind of bug?)
Re: Linux binaries request
I'm interested in knowing which packages Aptitude had to fetch in order to "repair" LÖVE so I can fix the deb-making script.

I don't understand. The problem was that dpkg was not able to automatically install dependencies and I wasn't able(did'nt want) to install them manually.tido wrote:I'm interested in knowing which packages Aptitude had to fetch in order to "repair" LÖVE so I can fix the deb-making script.
"repair" is my translation from my localised version of Synaptic and I don't know what the original word is. It just installed dependencies IMHO. I don't know anything about Aptitude.

Re: Linux binaries request
generally, "apt-get -f install" should solve this kind of problem. It's what I did on another system on with libdevil was missing...Green_Hell wrote:The problem was that dpkg was not able to automatically install dependencies and I wasn't able(did'nt want) to install them manually.
