Where can I download a LOVE build for Ubuntu 9.10?

[miloguy]

I'm currently running the windows version with WINE and I'm pretty sure that's causing it to run slower

Does anyone know where I can download it or help me coompile the source? Thanks

Oof, Ubuntu 9.10 is a bit old. You have to update a dependency before you can use LÖVE 0.7.2.

Get the new package here: libmodplug1.
If you don't know if you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit OS, then open up a terminal and type "uname -m". If it shows i386, i486 or i686 get the i386 package. If it shows x86_64 then get the amd64 package.

After installing that, you can download one of the debian packages from the LÖVE front page, like the one for 10.10.


If you want to compile it yourself, then you have to update the libmodplug-dev package as well. Get it here: libmodplug-dev.
Make sure you install libmodplug1 first because libmodplug-dev has a dependency on it.

Open a terminal and follow these steps:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mercurial build-essential automake libmpg123-dev libphysfs-dev libfreetype6-dev libdevil-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libopenal-dev libsdl1.2-dev libvorbis-dev

hg clone -r 0.7.2 https://bitbucket.org/rude/love

cd love
./platform/unix/automagic 
./configure
make
sudo make install

Thanks, it installed now!

Unfortunately the problem in my other thread still happens... oh well, I'll use a different computer
