| I couldn't find (using search) a topic such as this.. maybe I missed it. Anyways, I normally use OSX but decided to expand to develop on Linux. I chose Ubuntu. I started with version 118.. unzipped, started MaxIDE.. grabbed a sample and tried to compile.. error! "sh: g++-3.3: not found" Well, yeah.. I didn't install the compiler. "sudo apt-get install build-essential" installs the compiler (g++).. of course it installs the latest version which at the moment is g++-4.1, and BM is looking for a specific version (3.3)... so, right or wrong, I created a symbolic link to fake it out... "cd /usr/bin" "sudo ln -s g++-4.1 g++-3.3" Running the code again.. I get another error.. I'm missing another lib: "usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm" find the current library: "apt-cache search xf86vm" install the dev lib: "sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev" I run the compile again, and everything works. Anyone else using Linux have any pointers about any other issues that may turn up? I'm totally winging it getting this to work. Thanks! |
