Note: version 1.60 debs are here
http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=444.0
Note: version 2.00 debs are here
http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=752.0
Here they are. AMD 64 and i386 both. Please test and use. Any problems let me know here. :)
EDIT: As of linux ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Thar) all the needed dependencies will come down making for a smooth install.
As for the new ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid) well they "broke" it. For some reason these are NOT in the repos yet. So if you want to use 15.04 here is a list of the dependences you will need...your setup might differ.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libavcodec54 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libavcodec54)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libavformat54 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libavformat54)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libavutil52 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libavutil52)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgcrypt11 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgcrypt11)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgnutls26 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgnutls26)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/librtmp0 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/librtmp0)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ca/trusty/libswscale2 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/ca/trusty/libswscale2)
First download the arch you want amd64/i386. Then install them.
The easiest way to install these is to download them all first...then put them into a folder by themselves. (ALL OF THEM) then back up one level right click on the folder and select "open this from a terminal" (your distro may very).
once the terminal is up change to a "root" account. Now type:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
then you can install attractmode! :)
The other way (harder?) is to use the gui gdebipackage manager or ubuntu sofware center (depending or your distro) if you go through the gui you will get errors..I didn't write the order needed to install them (i am reading this after just installing sorry) but as long as you have the debs i posted..it might error and tell you need a different one installed first..just install the one it is complaining about first. you'll eventually get it installed..after they are all installed attractmode should install without problem.
if you need further assistance pm me and I will try to help you.

Thanks for this akafox, I've updated the download section of the website now to include your .debs.
-
Anyway to get the Arm version compiled? followed how to compile the Raspberry pi version on the wiki but so far have failed.
Thanks,
Dan
-
Any plans to release a 1.6 deb? Finally sperating my HTPC from the Arcade and was curious if it's in the works or if I should just build it? Thanks for all the hard work on this great FE!
-
Yes it is. Sorry it is taking so long. I am having trouble compiling the new version for 64 bit..I have the 32-bit just no deb yet though. I'll get the 32-bit up as soon as I can. As for the 64..unless I can figure out what the (blank) is wrong I don't know how long it will be.
-
No need to apologize. I can't imagine the work that gets put into this.
Would you recommend using 1.6 over an older build? before I blew out my previous install, I was using a compiled build of AM v1.4.1 without any issues.
As a side note, am I to assume that I can run the x32 build of AM on a x64 Linux (lubuntu) as long as I've loaded the i386 libraries?
Thanks for all you do, I appreciate the help.
-
The older versions of AM debs work just fine. I understand the want for updates :) I am still working on it...making some progress....it's just a weird thing is all (and frustrating >:( ).
As a side note, am I to assume that I can run the x32 build of AM on a x64 Linux (lubuntu) as long as I've loaded the i386 libraries?
Umm honestly I wouldn't know. It sounds right but I have used computers too long to know the truth. However I might test that theory as it would be good to know. I run my "cab-machine" on a 32-bit version. Some emulators are not 64-bit so it makes it easier to just run 32-bit OS...and hope they make 64-bit binaries one day....
-
Update on the new AM 1.60 debs I for some unknown reason can not absolutlly can not get it to run on a 64 arch.
I will at least post the 32-bit debs for those of you that use 32-bit. I am sorry for the delay. The old debs will work still. It's not so much that i can not compile it..thanks to others I was able to get a binary compiled...however the dependencies that it AM wants so that it can run are not in the repositories for some unknown reason. At least that is what I am running into. If any of you are able to get the new AM compiled and or running on alinux ubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu, or mint 64-bit let me know!

I just finished a successful compile on Xubuntu 14.04.3 x64. I ran into a couple of issues. The first was a lack of the libfreetype6-dev (ft2build.h not found) when running make -j 3 command. The second was a missing libjpeg8-dev (jpeglib.h not found) when running the sudo make install command. I've ran attract from the command line and it comes up and I can navigate it. I've not tested if it will launch or anything other than it will start up, but it shows promise. I didn't get any other errors (that I can see) after installing the libfreetype6-dev and libjpeg8-dev packages.
If the 32 bit deb packages are up I can test it on my arcade box as I have the i386 libraries installed and ready. The Kega Fusion mentioned that it was only 32 bit and needed the i386 libraries to run on a x64 linux os.
Hope that helps out some, thanks for all the help thus far!
-
I just installed attractmode_1.5.2_amd64.deb on my new Linux Mint 17.2 machine without any issues or manual installs.
-
I have tried installing the debs on Mint 17.2 x64 and found that that it misses the FadeArt modulefrom /modules folder which prevents the spin themes from
functioning. After compiling v 1.60 from source the problem is gone.
-
I've fully tested the AM1.6 x64 on the arcade build and it's working fine. I couldn't get Retroarch to work but individual emulators seem to be working just fine.
-
What linux distro are you using?
-
What linux distro are you using?
The first test compile was using Xubuntu 14.04.3 (main pc), the testing was on my arcade box using Lubuntu 14.04.39 (both are x64). I had the same errors compiling with Lubuntu that I did with Xubuntu. Both were resolved by installing the packages mentioned above. Now I've not played a marathon yet, but I do have the basic setup with emulators running and everything is launching, exiting, and generally working. I hope to get some more time this week to run a few emulators through the paces but everything seems to be working.
-
Any chance that you will be posting an up to date AM DEB to 1.6 version?
Thanks for your work!

looks like they are getting the dependencies put into the repositories. At list they are listed now..they still won't install. That is a step in the right direction. Just gonna take time. Again even if I did manage to get a deb made if you can't install the needed dependencies it would not do you any good. You can switch linux distros maybe...or use a 32-bit version of ubuntu.
-
I know this may sound silly but is is both 32 and 64 bit that is having an issue being turned into a deb or just the 64 bit one that is having an issue?
The reason I ask is I usually go for the 32 bit versions for the old machine I have. Even the one machine with 4 gig of ram and a 64 bit OS would run the 32 bit version fine right?
Thanks!

liquidus-
I have lubuntu 14.04 32-bit might try to compile it again. I have mint 17.2 64-bit also...I can not get it to dun in mint..at all...and that is what I compiled the other debs with..never a problem. Right now it is asking for libswresample.so.1 of which I have looked every where for (libswresample-ffmpeg is there) i'm at a loss. That machine is lubuntu 15.10 64-bit.
battlecat-
Yes a 32 bit version would be just fine on a 64 bit machine..that is how I run one of my machines so that i can compile and such for 32-bit stuff..that and some emulators are easier to run because they are 32-bit programs only. The 32-bit I have now is 1.53..I thought it was 1.60 I need to try to compile and package it..I'll try it tomorrow.
-
Thank you AKAfox. I have done the compiling before but I am not well good enough at it to spend weeks getting there anymore. I would rather sit in my woodshop and build things these days.
Thanks again!
--BC
This is our most desperate hour. Help me, AKAFOX. You're my only hope.
-
OK! I got it!!! (about bloody time!) they are for lubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu 14.04 32 and 64-bit! I'll have them up no later than five (5) days :D
-
LOL! Well you could have given us a nice Whompa Star Wars reference! :)
I wanted to update you a bit. I have a Dell e521 with 4 gig of ram and a 70 gig hd for the arcade cab.
I installed XFCE Linux Mint 17.2 edition 64 bit on it.
I installed your current set of 1.5 something deb files. Turns out while I definitely can open more than one instance of MAME on the office desktop and on the office side workstation I CANNOT seem to do that on the e521! So it seems that there is something computer specific or perhaps distro specific? I do not know. I do know that all three are running a version of Linux 17.2 Mint.
Now all that being said I am still going to update with your new DEB when it comes out! I appreciate all your work. Some software groups just say oh well if you cant compile then get out and that is discouraging to me.
I'm pretty excited. The FE is starting to look like it will work out for me!
As a note on one workstation running Linux mint 17.2 Cinnamon the Attract Mode has no icon for the desktop,panel, or menu. Its just blank. If you click on it it will work fine.
Now to work on the category thing.
Thanks again!

Sorry I was just so ..happy I guess..not to mention a month of frustration off my shoulders! ;D

That will run most games just fine..like 95% of an entire mame set.
I installed XFCE Linux Mint 17.2 edition 64 bit on it.
Uh oh..umm I hate to tell you this..but mint is what I was running as well 17.1/17.2 and I could not get am to compile or run. I still do not know why..I just can not get all the dependencies to install right. Which is really weird because Mint is debain based..just like ubuntu, lubuntu, and xubuntu. You can try it..but don't say I didn't warn you. :(

That is really strange..I mean really strange. Like I said I run lubuntu, ubuntu, and Mint and never had that problem that i know of.
Can I ask why you are using Mint? For a desktop it's great..however for an arcade gaming rig you need to use lubuntu and then use the openbox desktop..and not LXDE after you get it all set. The Mint desktop, MATE, cinnamon, KDE, unity, and gnome all use more ram..it's not a lot..but still if you want to get the most out of your system you want to use a lighter desktop that uses less ram. You don't have too...that is just my opinion.
Now all that being said I am still going to update with your new DEB when it comes out! I appreciate all your work. Some software groups just say oh well if you cant compile then get out and that is discouraging to me.
Well I have compiled AM many times before..no problem. However you saw the problems I was having. Thus why I make them. I could tell you well tough you are your own..but that is a bad attitude..and it keeps you or others from enjoying AM. That doesn't help anyone..and it just makes me a jerk. Let me put it to you this way..why do I make debs...because I am lazy and hate compiling! :) (It can be a real pain!)
As a note on one workstation running Linux mint 17.2 Cinnamon the Attract Mode has no icon for the desktop,panel, or menu. Its just blank. If you click on it it will work fine.
Yeah I noticed that a while back..never could figure out why it was missing...then life drug me away and I forgot. Thank you for reminding mw though got it fixed! :)

Greetings,
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu (15.10) 64 bit...I probably should have chosen 14.04.
attract-1.6.2amd64 : Depends: libsfml-window2 (>= 2.1+dfsg-4ubuntu) but it is not installable
Depends: libavresample1 (>= 6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libsfml-system2 (>= 2.1+dfsg-4ubuntu2) but it is not installable
Depends: libsfml-graphics2 (>= 2.1+dfsg-4ubuntu2) but it is not installable
Depends: libsfml-network2 (>= 2.1+dfsg-4ubuntu2) but it is not installable
libavcodec54 : Depends: libopenjpeg2 but it is not installable
Depends: libvpx1 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libx264-142 but it is not installable
However, I went through and installed all the required dependencies, and it's running. Now to play and configure...my tv will be mounted in portrait mode, so hopefully not too much work to have it looking good.
Enjoy your day.

Hi! Fantastic work, AM is working like a charm in my ubuntu 14.04 ;)
Any chances to release the 2.0? Or maybe are you waiting for the stable release?
Thanks again.
-
Yeah Fox,
Stop resting on your laurels. ;D
-
I am actually waiting for the stable release. Do that many people want the RC?.....I'll do it if that many people want it.... ;)
-
Good call - if you ask me. Stable 2.0 is probably just around the corner.

I, any updates for the 2.0 ETA?

Yes, but I'm looking for 2.0 deb for Ubuntu.
I'm trying to compile from git, I installed all dependencies and packages but compile fails:
"In file included from src/swf.cpp:33:0:
extlibs/gameswf/gameswf/gameswf_freetype.h:19:22: fatal error: ft2build.h: No existe el archivo o el directorio
compilation terminated."
Ubuntu 16.04
Thanks.

Hi, after install a lot of libraries (libjpeg-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev and another 10-11 that doesn't appear in the instructions. Furthermore, the fuck%$/% error continues. The problem is that makefile looks into /usr/share/include/ft2build.h and no file found. So it's easy to fix, only copy "ft2build.h" from /usr/share/include/freetype2/ft2build.h to /usr/share/include/ft2build.h.
But now...I have another error:
/usr/bin/ld: obj/libgameswf.a(gameswf_freetype.o): referencia sin definir al símbolo 'FT_New_Face'
//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:420: fallo en las instrucciones para el objetivo 'attract'
make: *** [attract] Error
Any ideas?

Also looking for a ubuntu release of 2.0.0
-
so this thread is great in helping me with my Advmame issues. I was able to get advmame working with the command lines posted, and almost full screen (changing display_magnify = auto), however it kills my USB IPAC2 once changing the keyboard mode to RAW :\ damn it! lol

Hi Tocinillo,
It looks like you are running into issues with the gameswf library crap. You could try building without gameswf so you can at least get attractmode up and running... so run make with the NO_SWF=1 flag:
make NO_SWF=1
You shouldn't be copying header files to different places, I'm not really sure how that will affect the compile, but that could be what is messing up. I've run into problems with finding freetype recently on linux mint, so this is a known issue with ubuntu-based systems, one which I'm not sure how to fix atm.
I see that the compile instructions need some work regarding what dependencies need to be installed. I'll make an issue for that as well.
-
Hi,
I don't know how, but after installing and compiling another packages (Kodi, chrome, steam, etc) I tried again to compile AM and finally I did :)
Thanks again.

has anyone tried ubuntu 16.04 on odroid c2 with attract mode?
I'm curious to see if the 2ghz soc and 2gb memory makes difference for n64 and dreamcast play

I have AM in Debian Jessie on Odroid XU4.
By now, Only I am tested PSP and some roms run very fast. In a few days I try DreamCast, N64 and others.
-
thats would be nice to see how they run
-
Yes, but I'm looking for 2.0 deb for Ubuntu.
I've just setup a PPA with attractmode version 2.1.0 packages. More details in this thread (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=817.0)

What do you mean?

I have been using a n64 emulator with a attract mode for a year now...
