Title: Stepmania for Linux?
Post by: annon on September 04, 2008, 10:27:43 PM

So I've never actually used the Linux version of Stepmania. I just downloaded and extracted the pre-compiled version to my Eee, but I don't know how to execute the file.

I would try the traditional
Konsole->directory->./stepmania if an Eee can do it.

Well, that ran it, but now it says it can't find a sound driver that works. I'll try EeeUser.

StepMania requires ALSA or OSS.

You're probably going to be better off building it from source.  I've never had a problem doing that.

Yeah, I was gonna say the one time I ran it from linux, I ran ALSA. Of course, I ended up in dependancy hell when I tried to build it from source, because I was using an experimental linux distro, and it didn't have nearly enough of the packages I needed in it's package manager, so I had to manually track down each package and it's dependency. I gave up pretty quickly on that.
