Gdevelop for later versions of Ubuntu?

🇫🇷 Forum français (French Forums) Discussions générales

I followed the simple instructions for installing GDevelop for Debian-based systems, but I received a message stating that the package was not found. I seem to remember reading a post that it at least works up to a 13.10 release? Does anyone have a compiled version for later OS’s (such as a .deb)? I have Xubuntu 14.10. I also tried to compile from source to no avail (after installing all of the dependencies, one component did not seem to align itself properly prior to building). I appreciate any thoughts on the matter.

In the meantime, I’m running the Windows version via Wine, but I imagine the native linux program to have enhanced formatting and performance.

Everything you need is on the main website : compilgames.net/main.html
You have the instructions to add the PPA to your Ubuntu and then install gdevelop (it’s available for 14.04 and 14.10).

I receive the error message “Unable to locate package gdevelop” despite the terminal appearing to successfully add the PPA and update. Could it just be that because I have Xubuntu, package organization is a little different?

I just realized I posted in the GDevApp forum, sorry.

No, I have Xubuntu and I can get GDevelop. Do you have (X)Ubuntu 15.04 or 14.10 ?

5

I am actually just now upgrading to 15.04 as I post this

6

GDevelop is not available on 15.04 now (might change soon).

7

ok, I’ll continue using Wine for now. Thank you for your help!

8

I’ll post an answer here to say when the 15.04 will be ready. :wink:

To be honest, I’m getting this issue to

Lubuntu, 14.10

any ideas ?

No, it works on my Xubuntu…

EDIT : You need a 64 bits Linux to run GDevelop, that might be the problem. :wink:

11

It’s now available for Ubuntu 15.04. :wink: (64 bits only)

12

oh, ok. That makes sense now. I remember finding a section of .deb packages that were 64-bit. My system is indeed a 32-bit one. Oh well. Good to know :stuck_out_tongue:

13

ah, 64b, okay - missed that bit.

so now I’m running a 64b Ubuntu ( 14:04 ) and I’m getting

gdevelop : Depends: libwxbase3.0-0 (>= 3.0.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libwxgtk3.0-0 (>= 3.0.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

kinda one step forward, two steps back :slight_smile:

should I go to Ubuntu 15 or … ?

many thanks

Is the “Universe” repository enabled ? Because these packages should be installable…
(Here is a proof that these packages exist : packages.ubuntu.com/en/trusty/libwxbase3.0-0)

15

did a complete fresh installation, obv something screwy on my side.

is installed, is working - just gotta suss how to make the next candy crush and retire to the bahamas now … :slight_smile:

thanks for the help, see you on the board

You just had to enable the “universe” repository in the “Source & software” settings. :nerd:
