Which step fails and what message is shown?

Did you run 'cmake .' (with the dot)? I didn't the first time I used it.
Cmake needs the path to source as an argument. The dot means "the current
path". If in doubt, consult the manual with 'man cmake'.

That's it. By the way, you have to give the command in the same
directory of the README, as the instructions say.

Sounds like the C compiler in your system is not recognized?

Do you know if gcc is installed in Mint by default?

The libraries (libx11 and libxext) probably have a different whole name
in every Linux distro, but searching for the given names in your package
installer should be enough. Did you install them?

I cannot login yet, with three browsers. Still trying.

I'm away for a few days now so it will have to wait until I get back.

The compiler must be correct because 0.4 compiled fine.

Hi Steven,

I'm not sure but, from looking on google it looks like you may not have g++
installed properly. Try:

$ sudo apt-get install g++

Thanks Lorry,


g++ needed installing.


You may need to update the read me file to install g++,

Also after the `make install` to copy the xace bin file to the folder where
the ROM is located.

I know in the readme you say xace will only run in the same folder as the
ROM.


Many thanks for your help tracking my compile error I can take it with me
and have a play while I'm away.


Many thanks.

Steve

Just thinking about the g++


Is the version 0.5 written in C++ , or makes use of C++ libs as it complies
with g++ ?

The g++ requirement was a surprise to me. I'm pretty sure it's to do
with some C++ headers for the SDL library.

Scratch that. I just realized that I was thinking of SDL in CanAce.
The C++ requirement is
still probably linked to C++ headers for something, I'm just not sure
what. CMake
must be picking up on this.
