Help getting started
« on: December 18, 2010, 02:39:39 pm »
I just downloaded the game (for Linux) and I didn't find any way to run it, I've tried a few things like extracting different files, downloading another version, and I still couldn't figure it out! Help!

Twenty seconds after the collapse, 14 dwarves hit the ground simultaneously.
EDIT: make that 15. Not sure what took that last one so long.

Extract the files.
Open your favorite terminal.
cd to /somedir/df_linux
then type ./df

I got an error I heard about, and fixed it, but then I got another one I can't find the library for.. its:

/libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared file: No such file or directory

I tried getting libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0 the same way I got the image lib, but it can't find the library... anyone know how to get it?

Ok I get that fixed and its working, but it got an error that said:

Dynamically loading the OpenAL library failed, disabling sound
Initializing OpenAL failed, no sound will be played

It's fine, I can run the game, but does anybody know how to solve this?
(btw, if anyone had the same problem, the command to give is:  sudo apt-get install libSDL-ttf2.0-0  )
