I compiled Performous master in my computer and is working fine. Maybe there
is a dependency you haven't installed? Did you compile from source too?
I follow the instructions form here:
https://github.com/performous/performous/wiki/Building-and-installing-from-source
Maybe installing the dependencies may solve the problem:
sudo apt-get install git-core cmake build-essential gettext help2man \
libepoxy-dev libsdl2-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev librsvg2-dev \
libboost-all-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
libavresample-dev \
libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libxml++2.6-dev portaudio19-dev \
libopencv-dev libportmidi-dev
If you want to compile it you'll need to install cmake too and do the
following:
#cd to the source
mkdir buildv #make a directory call build
cd build
cmake ../
make
If everything goes right, you should see an executable in the build folder
that you can run to play the game.
Also, I had to install libepoxy-dev_1.2-1_amd64 and libepoxy0_1.2-1_amd64 on
my own since only 1.1 was available in trisquel's repos and the compiler says
it's required. Hope this helps.
