Mudlet in Linux

in Tech Talk
I'm running Fedora 18 and I'm having trouble compiling Mudlet, and the windows version does not work in Wine.

Has anybody got Mudlet running in Linux?

    I use Ubuntu, so I downloaded it straight from the Software Center.
  • EtriganEtrigan
    Yeah, there is a debian package for it. Does it work well?

    I can try convert the .deb package into a rpm for fedora.

    There seems to be a current issue where it can't find LuaGlobal.lua, which of course is a fantastically important file. I've tried to fix it myself but I'm Linuxstupid, so I'm waiting for them to fix it.

    I'm not sure if that'll affect your distro or not.
  • EtriganEtrigan
    If I had it running I could fix it.
    Will look into it as soon as I have it running. Don't really like qmake :(

    How do you like Ubuntu Lin?

    I wouldn't have chosen a non-Windows OS deliberately, but Linux is so nice and easy on my older laptop. I mostly find it frustrating since I don't understand the file system yet, and I feel kinda lost. I'm sure that'll go away over time. I hear Mint is pretty nice?

    If you have any doubts or questions just ask me. I'm happy to help.

    If you use the file browser (nautilus), how is the file system different than what you expect?

    I got it working \o/

    So for people that come after me and read this thread...

    Follow the instructions in the following page:
    http://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Compiling_Mudlet

    But use the src.pro file as you can see it here:
    https://github.com/dawid-sklodowski/Mudlet-Fedora/blob/master/src/src.pro

    So basically, git clone to get the latest version.
    Change the following lines like that second link (github):

    LIBLUA = -llua5.1
    !exists(/usr/lib/liblua5.1.a):LIBLUA = -llua

    and then qmake-qt4; make
    If you have any questions just ask.

    Hello! Mudlet dev chiming in.

    Have you tried the generic Linux installer? It's available at http://www.mudlet.org/. It might or might not work.

    The LuaGlobal issue has been fixed in the Ubuntu PPA!
  • EtriganEtrigan
    Hello Vadi! Thank you so much for Mudlet. :)

    I didn't try the generic installer. I will try it tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
