Re: Snapshot / development builds

[andy_5995]

Tom, I ran  'MegaGlest-Installer-3.12-dev_x86_64_linux.run' (the installer) on a fresh installation of Fedora Core 23 x64.

The installer ran fine of course, but 'start_megaglest' gave me errors. Rather than installing libraries and trying to get it to work, I thought we might like to document the process from ground zero. Should I start a "Fedora Core" thread, and perhaps we can use the information later to update the wiki, if necessary? What do you think?

Tom, you split this from the thread? I'm confused. I thought we were going to disregard the post above.

Thanks for trying and reporting back.

Unless we are going to craft packages for every Linux distribution and release, this is going to remain this way. With the (healthy) variety there is amongst Linux distributions, it is not possible to provide ready-made builds which work for everyone out of the box.

This is also discussed at https://megaglest.org/installation (a page the download page points to).
