(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I would love to play atanks on my puppy.
the sources are downloadeble here;http://sourceforge.net/projects/atanks/files/
and you will need allegro, here:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 2dc#444284

I have been able to compile it myself but the files are scramble over my system and I want a clean pet. I also have no experience in compiling and packaging stuff myself and this was the first succesfull one :p

they have a deb, that one doesn't wok[/url]

Could you please tell us which Puppy Version you would want it compiled for?

The best way to package it up is

Once you type "make" and its finished compiling, don't close the screen instead type new2dir make install
that will run a script that will package it up into a single folder for you

When compiling I like to go like this...say:

mkdir /mnt/home/someDir-1.2.3

./configure [--option --option1 ...--optionN]

make

make install DESTDIR=/mnt/home/someDir-1.2.3


This puts all in the dir someDir-1.2.3 on the harddrive.

At that point use Barry's dir2pet:

cd /mnt/home
dir2pet someDir-1.2.3

If you don't like it edit the directory and go agian with tar, gzip,
tgz2pet, just as it says at the end of dir2pet.

Best of results to you!

With much interest I sat watching him. Savage though he was, and
hideously marred about the face - at least to my taste - his
countenance yet had a something in it which was by no means
disagreeable.
