Hi Tim,
but the games most recent version is only available for Debian Jessie
and will not install due to varies dependency issue (which is strange
because it is looking for a lower version of a file than I have
currently installed).
What's the command and error? Perhaps there's another package still
providing the old one it needs.
should I compile it so that I can just install it and run it, or do I
need to compile it as a deb file?
The former is simpler so I'd start with that.
Apart from build essentials what else to I need to make sure I have
installed on my PC so I can compile the source?
Inside the tar file is readme.txt and section 7 details some of the
things you'll want to have installed, e.g. libpng. And because you want
to build a program that uses them, rather than just running that
program, you often need a `development' version of the package, e.g.
libpng-dev, given how Debian partition things into packages.
Cheers, Ralph.
One of the errors I get is Dependency is not satisfiable libpng 12-0
(>= 1.2.13-4) current installed version is libpng 16-16 version 1.6.34-1
