Mudlet in Linux

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.
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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.
