How to Build in Linux

[josefnpat]

Hey, I am a indie game developer, and I saw this post on reddit. I was wondering if anyone successfully compiled Tiggit on a linux box?

This is as far as I've gotten:

Code:

[Tiggit]$ g++ tiggit.cpp -o tiggit
tiggit.cpp:3:19: fatal error: wx/wx.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Hey! You are welcome to compile on linux, but don't expect any of the games to work yet

We're focusing on windows at the moment, Linux isn't "officially" supported yet.

The dependencies you need to install are: wxWidgets, libCurl, libzzip, boost, zlib and CMake. Remember to get 'dev' packages to include header files. Also you should preferably be using CMake to build, since it takes care of all the library dirs (and alerts you of missing dependencies.)

Code:

cmake .
make

I installed the following libraries from your latest commit;

Code:

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.6-* libcurl3 libzzip-* boost-build zlib1g* cmake

I did a cmake, and that works. But the make fails:

Any suggestions? Thanks so much, this looks like a really cool program.

Hmm, both seem to be library version issues. After a little googling I've inserted a couple of quick fixes that won't affect the result much. Try compiling the latest commit.

I pulled, unfortunately, it looks like the same error.

Hmm, ok. I think I can fix the boost issues, but wxWidgets 2.6 is probably too far behind to support. Could you try upgrading to 2.8? Ubuntu at least has both 2.6 and 2.8.
