Nightshade Legacy

Installing nightshade in xubuntu linux

Asked by Andrewbacca

Hi,

I am new to linux, but I decided because of the video suport that nightshade has in linux I would give it ago.

I tired for hours yesterday to install it on xubuntu (using this linux as the PC I am currently using isnt the most powerful in the world, and this takes up very little memory)

Can anyone please give me some help with installing nightshade from the source code.

Thanks alot

Have you looked at the INSTALL file in the Nightshade source tree? It contains some general instructions regarding building from source on a Linux system. If you're running into a specific problem, please provide more information.

I am having trouble install SDL

as I am getting this message when running ./configure

*** The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found
*** If SDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to sdl-config.
configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.10 not found!

I have downloaded SDL and tried to install it but Im not sure I am doing it right as I am getting alot of error messages.

Is there an easy way to install it?

I am rubbish at Linux, wish I wasn't!

Cheers

Andrew

In general, on Ubuntu systems you can use the apt-get utility to install prerequisites. For SDL it would be the following.

`sudo apt-get install libsdl`

You may also need libsdl-dev.

Can you help with this problem?
