Installation issue?

Post by IndieMedia »

I have tryed to install LOVE and run my HELLOWORLD program with it...

Love is not a reconised command, when I added it to the system variables I can use love and itll run the Basic program... but I cannot add Command line options.

Any help? I have tried 64 bit and 32 bit....

Hi.

So. What is the operating system you use?

After installing LÖVE, how did you write your "hello world"? How did you try to run it?
Help us help you: attach a .love.

Windows 7 64-bit (home premium)

I opened Notepad++ and typed.

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.setColor(0,255,0)
    love.graphics.print("Hello World", 100, 100)
end
Saved the file as main.lua in C:\Users\Alexh\lua_games\test

and I opened CMD then did love C:\Users\Alexh\lua_games\test
It didnt work so I tryed love --version it just doesnt do anything -.-
I got it so If i do "love" it opens love.exe but thats the closest Ive gotten.

Try this:

Code: Select all

cd C:\Users\Alexh\lua_games\test
love .
Notice that there is a dot (.) right after love. Don't miss it.
When I write def I mean function.

Boolsheet wrote:The reason the version doesn't show up in the console is because LÖVE currently does not redirect any output to the console of the parent process. Windows handles its consoles differently compared to other operating systems and getting around that requires some careful code.

If you want to see the output, redirect the output to a file.

Code: Select all

love.exe --version > love_version.txt
