Installing on Ubuntu 64bit

[Tomadox]

Sorry, a bit new to Ubuntu and compiling packages, so excuse me if I am completely wrong about anything.

I know there is a tutorial, and I have followed it to the letter. I have the assets folder, with all the necessary files.

My problem is, I simply cannot run openjk.x86_64. Through terminal nothing ahppens, and normal execution produces no result either.

Is there supposed to be an i386 file? I saw that mentioned at the bottom of the page on compilation guide.

 

On a side note, I can run the openjkded.x86_64 file THROUGH TERMINAL, but that is a server file as far as I know and is not what I want.

 

Is there any more detailed documentation, or should I blindly keep trying?

 

Thanks or any help you can provide.

You may be missing runtime dependencies. You can use ldd to see which libraries are being linked and which ones are missing.

 

 

$ ldd openjk.x86_64

Hello! I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) 64bit also I have the 32bit binaries for openjk. 

 

Running openjkded.i386 with terminal works fine as it has all the depencies:

 

 

~/Bin/jka_linux/GameData$ ldd openjkded.i386

linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf77db000)

libz.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0xf77a1000)

Though I have problem with openjk.i386. It's missing libSDL2.so.0 and I can't find the proper library to install.

Can someone help me please?

Search your repository maintainer for libsdl2 and libsdl2-devel stuff.

 

(Not a linux user)

 

 

http://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

Linux: 

Please contact your distribution maintainer for updates.

[Xycaleth]

If you're running the 32bit version of OpenJK, you'll also need SDL2 installed. Try something like, sudo apt-get install libsdl2:i386 in the terminal.

[Morabis]

I did also installed the libsdl2-dev:i386. Now the problem is I have the libSDL2.so file  in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ but game still requires libSDL2.so.0. What is the difference? :S

[Xycaleth]

What do you get if you do, ls -l /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL* ?

edit:

 

I also tried to rename libSDL2.so to libSDL2.so.0 and in this case the game started up in terminal but then it failed with an error belongs to rd-vanilla:

Morabis did this require any additional dependencies as well as SDL?

[Morabis]

Yeah some others too. With the 'ldd' command you check a file for it's dependencies like ' ldd openjk.i386'. If it says for a file that it wasn't found than you miss that dependency. Several posts above you can see what dependencies are listed.

[Xycaleth]

You have a pretty old version of OpenJK. You should try a newer (read: the newest) version. I'm not at my pc atm but I can upload the latest 64-bit version for you when I get home from work.

[Shadzy]

Muchos appreciated Xyca, please post here if possible when you have done so

[Xycaleth]

Try this: http://176.227.202.109/openjk-2014-05-06-15939504-linux-64.tar.gz

 

You'll need to install the 64-bit version of SDL2 as well.

[Morabis]

Many thanks Xycaleth! It works now.
