On Linux/GCC

NOTE: NOT UPDATED FOR BETA 3 YET. WILL BE SOON

This tutorial shows how to install Frontend2 and compile a Frontend2 project on Linux/GCC.

  1. Installing Frontend2

    1. Installing the necessary libraries
    2. Installing Frontend2 using apt (Ubuntu, Debian)
    3. Installing Frontend2 from the .tar.gz-distribution (all other systems)

Installing Frontend2

Installing the necessary libraries

The required libraries are GL, GLU, xlib (with Xrandr and Xrender), pthreads, libjpeg, pnglib, freetype, vorbislib and Cg. If you’re installing the .deb-distribution, aptitude will install all the required libraries automatically, except Cg. Get Cg at developer.nvidia.com

Installing Frontend2 using apt (Ubuntu, Debian)

(There is no Debian package available at this point)

Installing Frontend2 from the .tar.gz-distribution (all other systems)

Unpack the libraries into your system by doing the following commands in a terminal as root:

cd /
tar -xvzf /path/to/openfrontend2_2.0-X-rXXX_i386.tar.gz

Note: replace the path and filename to the location of your .tar.gz file. (I shouldn’t need to say this?)
