Linux problem

YourAverageJoe · Post by **YourAverageJoe** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 7:41 pm

So I just got myself a Linux OS, problem is I'm still new to the system. Anyway, I tried downloading the Linux port of ZSNES but I really don't get what's what in that GZip file. Help?

That would be the source code. Seeing as how every linux distro and system can be configured quite differently, you have to compile the source yourself to ensure best compatability.

Now, if only I knew how, that wouldn't be a problem.

First, untar the tarball/zip file.

Next, extract the contents to your home folder.

Then use the Konsole to navigate to whereever the ZSNES source is. eg: /home/adventureoflink/zsnes/src (should be as easy as this:

Code: Select all

adventureoflink@host:~$ cd zsnes
adventureoflink@host:~/zsnes$ cd src
adventureoflink@host:~/zsnes/src$

)

Next, run autogen.sh (type ./autogen.sh)

then run make

and your ZSNES should be built, and ready for action

PS: You need GCC, G++, NASM, libSDL 1.2 or higher, Automake, and Autoconf installed in order to compile ZSNES.

Thanks, I got all of those, but when I ran the configure through, it complained about not having SDL 1.2.0 or above, I've got 1.2.9 installed and it still shows the error message.

You need the dev stuff for SDL installed, not just SDL.

Alright, thanks for all of your help, but I've one last problem (I hope and pray).

G++ is just plain wierd and I can't figure out how to compile it.

Use the makefile, Luke.
