Yay! It loads! Plus I just installed my 6TB drive 10 minutes ago, so I'll have lots of room for games. XD

So I just need to add the icon to my installed programs. ^_^

Okay. I managed to get the dependencies installed and AM compiled. When I ran sudo make install, it seemed to install, it created a directory, but it isn't showing up in my installed programs.

In case you are curious what went wrong with the dependencies the first couple times, apparently, when I was manually downloading the dependencies before, I accidentally changed a software source server and since it didn't have a Release File, it would refuse to download anything from it. I manually changed the server, and it downloaded the dependencies fine.

Here's the output when I told it to sudo make install:

Code: [Select]

jarvis@pop-os:~/attract$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for jarvis:

Thanks so much for helping. I'm hoping I don't have to install a different flavour of Linux to get it working, cause I really like Pop_OS so far.

Here's the terminal output when I tried to compile AM.

When I tried compiling AM using the steps Akafox listed, I got error messages on the first step. I'm including the terminal text and hopefully you can tell me what went wrong? I tried continuing, and wasn't able to get it working. I love Linux, but I remember why I hated it occasionally too. LOL.

Editing to add: When I try to compile, it tells me I'm missing a bunch of packages, I'm guessing because of the errors from the first step. I can include a screenshot of that as well.

General / Re: POLL: What system are you running Attract Mode on?

« on: August 16, 2020, 07:36:47 PM »

I was running Windows 10, but I've decided to switch over to PopOS 20.04. The transition is going well so far.

I'm wondering if you recompiled it as well. I'm on Pop OS 20.04, and the missing dependencies are giving me a migraine. If there's an easier way, I'd love to know. LOL.

Thanks akafox, I'll try that tonight. ^_^

I love how much Wine has evolved since I used Linux last, I'm actually thinking about deleting Windows entirely from my computer, I haven't logged in for over a month.

I'll let you know tomorrow if I was successful. LOL. Time to jump down the dependency rabbit hole. XD

General / Trying to install Attract Mode on Pop_OS (based on Ubuntu 20.04)

« on: August 15, 2020, 02:42:23 PM »

Is there any way to install Attract Mode on Pop_OS? it's my main OS, and I'd rather not have to reboot into a separate OS when I want to load Attract Mode. The version of Pop_OS I'm running is based off Ubuntu 20.04. I've downloaded the .deb file, and, of course, I am missing dependencies, but when I try to install those dependencies, *they* are missing dependencies. It becomes an ever growing rabbit hole of missing dependencies.

I tried the easier way first, adding the PPA to my sources, but I got an error saying the Launchpad has no Release file.

Any ideas? I've only recently came back to Linux after several years of Windows being my main system, and I'll be honest, I've never been good at compiling software, so I've avoided that option for now. LOL. I can use the terminal some, but that's it.
