Magicor game.

#1 Post by giannis4 »

Hello,I have downloaded from this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/magicor/files/
a nice puzzle game called ''magicor''.I've extracted the tar.gz file and read the install file but still I cant figure out how to install and play the game.
If somebody can guide me somehow on how to make it run I would be very grateful.

Hi Giannis, this for a full or frugal install? It's gonna need Python. Do you run with the devx?

Is that the PAE kernel you've got? Did you use the pkg mngr to grab the devx?

I'm pretty sure that's the *wrong* devx. This one, on a faster mirror is the correct file.

I've got a binary of the game for testing.. Sometime later I'll have word..

Giannis, sorry.. Slacko's too unstable on my hw to continue.

The app itself has to be compiled, or, built from scratch.

You need several additional pkgs that I may or may not be able to help with.

If you wanna try, I'll see if I can walk you through, OK.

In PPM, or >> pkg mngr.. install "pygame" and it's deps. Let me know if "libsdl" is in the mix.

''libsdl'' is not in the mix.Installed ''pygame'' and I am missing some libraries:libjvm.so (5 times is written).

BUG >> libjvm.so.. IGNORE for the moment. Quick search for libsdl with Pfind. Make sure you search system.

By then I should have a dwnld ready..

Extract this to /usr/lib, then open a shell and tell me what happens when you run: ldconfig << Lower case "L"

Good, so maybe you have it. If it weren't there, you would've got a different response.

Onward..

If you've unpacked the Magicor src, go into it's directory and hit the " ` " character..

It should open a shell.. correct?

==

Tell me too what this returns: python -V

OK, if your shell's still open in that same directory, run: make install

Makefile defaults looked OK as far as I could tell. I usually get right into it and let shell errors lead the way.

If you have trouble with copy and paste, you hightlight what you want, minimize, then right/left together to paste.

Let's see what it says....
