Ever wanted to beta-test DROD in linux ? Now you can!

Note that this is not an official beta. We just want to see if it runs at your system.

Currently you have to do do a little bit of work yourself - there's no nifty installer, yet. You'll need a way to get the game data - copying from the latest windows install should work fine, or if you don't have access to windows, get it from CVS.

Edit: The link below is an updated version (Full Moon Edition! ) with a binary statically linked to metakit, libstdc++, and libgcc.

Edit: Removed the link. This version is now obsolete, and i posted the new one in a new thread . (look at the forum for "Linux DROD 1.6 Build XX" where XX is the latest build number).

Here's some step-by step instructions:
1. Click here to download the tarball (about 1.3 mb) with the executable and some libs.
2. Extract the tarball and enter the dir it makes:

tar xzf CDROD-1.6-build35.5.tar.gz; cd CDROD-1.6-build35.5

3. Copy the Data dir into it, either from a windows install or from CVS:

cp -r path/to/Data .

4. Run 'drod':

./drod

'drod' is a shell script that tells the dynamic linker to search the 'lib' subdir for libraries as well, so any libraries you don't have will be loaded from there. It may override installed libraries, too, depending on your system. The script runs 'ldd' before drod ('drod.bin'), so you can see what libraries it uses.

Let me know what happens

libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2.2' not found

Which is odd cuz ldconfig tells me I've got:
libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.1

Maybe the release should be staticly linked?

Yep. Statically linking libstdc++ adds a megabyte to the binary (after stripping..), but we don't want people to have to update libstdc++ to be able to play DROD.. Anyway, I updated the link in the top message to a new version, statically linked to metakit, libstdc++ and libgcc.

I'm getting this error when trying to run this latest download on a friend's Linux machine:

Can we static link this one into drod.bin as well?
