How do I...?
#1

Hi.

I would like to use Game Develop under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS,but when I try to run a preview of any native example project,I get Game Develop IDE error message:

“Compilation of Events failed and scene cannot be previewed,please report this problem to Game Develop’s developer,joining this file LatestCompilationOutput.txt”

LatestCompilationOutput.txt contains:

Anybody could help me please?

Game Develop is not compatible with this version of Ubuntu.
You can try two solutions:
-Upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version.
-Go the the Game Develop folder, then in CppPlatform, then in include. Find the folder called “linux” and delete it. It should force GD to use the header files of the system: I can’t guarantee that it will work ( Let me know if it works ).

Thanks 4ian,but it didn’t work.Same error message comes up.
Maybe I’ll upgrade to new version of Ubuntu,but I would prefer 12.04 I find it more stable,at least on my hardware.
Maybe I’m wrong,but I think LTS versions more popular in general,other versions more like “beta” versions of new LTS release and features.
I don’t know what makes difficult to support the current LTS version,but I would suggest to keep LTS support if it doesn’t cost too much.
Thanks anyway.

the fact that game Develop works only in version 12.10 forced me to use myu Windows laptop -12.10 is unable to connect Wi-Fi, so I cant use it.

#5

Game Develop works also on Ubuntu 13.04

#6

Didn’t test it extensively, but GD works also with Linux Mint 15 xcfe.
The best choice if you want a windows-like OS with good perf and all the necessary libraries.
