Hi All -

I'm not seeing Linux as a platform in the monkey documentation. How would one compile for linux?

Is it possible to compile for Raspberry Pi?

Thanks!

Use the Linux version of Monkey on Linux. How to set things up depends on the distribution and what architecture as there are some differences. You will need to install the gnu C/C++ compiler tools along with the development libraries for OpenGL, GLU and OpenAL.

In theory it should be possible to compile for the Raspberry Pi version of Linux with a cross compiler. But as I don't own one I cannot confirm it.

It's a real pain for 64bit linux distros. Lots of additional packages required, and just for command line translation/compilation. If you want TED running there's another layer of complexity atop that.

I've written a rough How to guide for installing Monkey on Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Debian/Linux Mint DE.
