Title: Just a big thanks - and about the linux binary...
Post by: DirtyHairy on March 31, 2003, 07:33:28 am
I just wantet to say a big "thank you" to all the developers! Playing this game again after 8-10 years brings tears into my eyes...
Well, to keep technical: the linux binary (at least the dynamically linked) needs glibc2.3 . AFAIK, most of todays distributions ship with lower versions of glibc, so it might be better to put a binary for download runs with 2.2... But of course, thats just a small issue, one always can compile from source... ;)
Another thing (I know thats most likely something that belongs on the bug report, I'll file a report if it really is a bug): I often get some sort of key jamming when pressing up and left or right together: the program don't seem to notice the keyup-event...
Well, thanks again and keep up the good work

If you've got the tools and want to try building an RPM (http://uqm.stack.nl/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Techissues;action=display;num=1047745877), I'm keenly interested in how well it works (or doesn't work)

Well, I`ve no experience with building RPMs, but perhaps I'll try when the next term has started and when I've got some time... ;)
