Tiny Core Linux for gaming

[Ruslik]

Sorry if I create topic twice.

I tried to install some open source games (clones of famous games for example "Lincity" or "OpenXCOM" and original) but all I could to compile and install (Ace of Penguins, dos games what I can play with DosBox and games on terminal don't count) are OpenTTD and some ports for Doom (Prboom+ and Zandronum). Because when I compiled and installed, it had failed with some errors message like "SDL_gfx doesn't found". I was installing some empty codes and libraries, but compilation interrupted anyway. So, I have to play only what I could installed.

What games except the above-mentioned also can be installed? And what do you advice me how to compile game without problems?

[Juanito]

If you’d like some help with compiling games, please state clearly what you’ve done and what error messages you get.

[Ruslik]

For example when I was trying to compile and install ECWolf, it sent me an error "No rule to make target '-L/usr/local/lib - Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -lSDL2".

[Juanito]

It sounds like you were missing SDL2-dev or sdl2_image-dev?

[Ruslik]

But I've installed SDL2-dev and sdl2_image-dev before compiling.

[Juanito]

Could you give details of the source code and ./configure switches you are using?

[Juanito]

perhaps you need sdl rather than sdl2 (and also sdl_mixer and sdl_net).

[Ruslik]

Maybe. I should try again.
If it doesn't work again, I will say you. If it works, I'll tell anyway.

Hi Ruslik
You need to provide concise information as to what commands you issued and and any messages they generated. Record the
process by opening a terminal and entering:

Code: [Select]

script -f CompileECwolf.txtNow execute all the commands you used to compile the program. All your commands and responses will be saved in  CompileECwolf.txt.
when you are done, enter:

Code: [Select]

exitNow attach the  CompileECwolf.txt  file to your next post.

[Ruslik]

OK. I'll try it.

[Ruslik]

OK. So here's problem.

[Juanito]

This worked in CorePure64:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i compiletc git cmake bzip2-dev libjpeg-turbo-dev sdl_mixer-dev sdl_net-dev gtk2-dev

git clone https://github.com/RobLoach/ecwolf

cd ecwolf

mkdir build
cd build

cmake -LAH -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE="-flto -fuse-linker-plugin -mtune=generic -Os -pipe" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE="-flto -fuse-linker-plugin -mtune=generic -Os -pipe" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=TRUE -DINTERNAL_ZLIB=ON -DINTERNAL_BZIP2=ON -DINTERNAL_JPEG=ON ../
i.e. without fluidsynth

[Ruslik]

What I must write in "CMAKE" for not installing fluidsynth? -DINTERNAL_FLUIDSYNTH=OFF?

[Juanito]

It doesn't look like there's an option to disable fluidsynth, but if fluidsynth is not installed then it should be ignored anyway.

[Ruslik]

It works. Thx.
