Debian/Ubuntu binaries available

Post by djandruczyk »

Binaries for debian/Ubuntu are available at the std sourceforge link for MegaTunix.

The deb is compiled for ubuntu hardy (8.04) and has been tested on 8.04, 9.04, 9.10, and should work on 8.10 and debian lenny as well as other distros with a similar heritage and package system.

If you see a repeating crash where it runs for a bit and then vanishes, open a terminal, run "xhost + ; megatunix" and see if that makes the fault go away, if so, please email me or reply to the current bugs thread with as much information as possible.

Get it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/megatunix/files/

If you are running Debian and you want to build your own package using the latest Git release here are the steps that I use.

Step 1: Get a copy of MegaTunix from github and change to the source directory.

Code: Select all

user$ git clone git://github.com/djandruczyk/MegaTunix.git
user$ cd MegaTunix
Step 2: Build the package.
The resulting package will be in the parent directory (../).

Code: Select all

user$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
Step 3: Install the package (need root privleges)
Your version number may be different.

Code: Select all

user$ sudo dpkg -i ../megatunix_0.9.22_i386.deb
Step 4: update the package, then go back to Step 2 to rebuild.
This step assumes you are already in the source directory.

Code: Select all

user$ git pull
