Title: GNU/Linux install Post by: dmn_clown on January 19, 2007, 07:21:06 AM Should we do a Loki installer for the next release?
Title: Re: GNU/Linux install Post by: kit89 on January 19, 2007, 08:48:58 AM Sure!
Would be interesting to know how to create such an install.. Title: Re: GNU/Linux install Post by: aedonis on February 06, 2007, 06:40:21 AM i think the question is "is it necessary"? now is the game run by single file after extracting and it's really comfortable and everything works good now for me(except that freezing trouble i mentioned in thread http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=298.0)...
don't know i've said it already, but thanks for your work, it's really good ;) Title: Re: GNU/Linux install Post by: dmn_clown on February 06, 2007, 01:09:31 PM It isn't "necessary" it is just a nicety. The .deb based distro's should be able to use the Debian packages from Sid (Well, except for Sarge because of the C++ changes), Arch has their package, Fedora should have their package, but that leaves about 300-400 distros that don't have a package (Slackware, Gentoo, et. al.).
Title: Re: GNU/Linux install Post by: sago007 on February 06, 2007, 01:26:21 PM except for Sarge because of the C++ changes I do know that there are problems with libstdc++.so5 and libstdc++.so6 being incompatible but shouldn't the deb file make sure that the correct file exists? I guess there is a reason that both can exists on a system at the same time. I don't think that a Loki installer would work. I tend to dislike installers like that. But as long as we can get a good tar-archive it can't hurt.

Sarge users would have to backport the engine due to the libc6 dependency that dpkg checks at install. Quote # libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1) [not i386, ia64] GNU C Library: Shared libraries libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) [i386] # [dep] libc6.1 (>= 2.3.5-1) [ia64] GNU C Library: Shared libraries Granted Etch will soon be released... I'm thinking on the day before Duke Nukem Forever hits the stores ;-p |
