Rambly intro

Using a VM I barely touch to do it, and using the most basic compiling procedure without changing anything, I encountered some errors not mentioned in the readme.

Luckily, all were pretty straight forward to solve, and the compiling process seems to have improved since I tried it some years back. (or at least it didn’t cause the OS to completely freeze during compiling this time around)

Now, the problems were due to missing some packages not mentioned in the compiling process:

  • libfreetype6-dev
  • libfontconfig1-dev
  • libgtk2.0-dev

All packages are available through apt, so running apt install libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev libgtk2.0-dev should suffice. Haven’t tried other compiling settings to be sure, but with this, my games worked fine, so don’t feel an urgency to test.

Hope it helps!
