LÖVE

Hi ! I tried to play at some game using the 0.9.2 , 0.10.2 or other older version of Löve but it juste crash , and crash again , I haven't find any link to download older version of Löve , I don't know if it's normal or not. Thanks to anyone who's reading this, goodbye .

PS : Sorry about my English , I'm still learning

It's completely normal to not be able to play older games with the newer versions of love. It's because the api changes through the versions. Here's a link to a list of the older versions: https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/

Thanks for your help but Ubuntu does'nt let me install an older version because of my newer version of Löve.

What I do is compiling it as a static binary. That lets me have several executables (one for each version) that don't conflict with each other. It's quite some work to compile them all, but you only do that once. Or you can just compile the version you want to. There are compilation instructions and a list of dependencies on the main page: https://bitbucket.org/rude/love

To compile as static, write: ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared

The executable usually goes to src/.libs/ and you can copy it to /usr/local/bin/ with some other name.

Hey , thanks for your answer , I compiled love 0.10.1 with your command but I can't find the executable , theres no .lib file , but i've a lot of .Plo with "# dummy" written in all of them.

configure just configures it, you need to run make to actually compile it. Not sure if that was the issue.

Also, I was wrong. The love executable goes in src/, not src/.libs/ but in any case, the .libs directory is hidden (because it starts with a dot), you need to request it explicitly or tell your filesystem browser to show hidden files.

Thanks a lot , it worked fine Now I can play to all games made with love .
