Howdy there.

I have a question. It may have already been addressed.

Can I compile RF2 demo on Linux and if so how?
I have Ubuntu Hardy

Nice to see you back Mr T.

I think its possable ( dont quote me tho )
You need to get the sdk's for ogre, python boost, python and a some others.



P.S. Do you still have any of your old rf work hanging around. if you do how about posting them for us

Yes, RF2 will be able to run on Linux. If I remember correctly, AndyCR said he does most of his work on RF2 under Linux. Now on specific compiling instructions, I can't offer any help. But either way, RF2 will be completely cross platform being able to be compiled and run on Windows, Mac and Linux as I understand it.

It should work just fine! Just follow the windows instructions, but of course substitute CodeBlocks or your favorite C++ IDE for Visual Studio 2005 and build all dependencies from scratch using apt-get. done.

There's currently no Linux makefile. I use Windows now, but when I used Linux I used Eclipse and set up a project, pointing it to the appropriate paths. It worked fine last I checked, with the exception of the editor, which has an OpenGL issue I haven't managed to figure out (not exactly a GLX person).
