The Linux Readme File
« on: July 15, 2014, 09:43:59 am »

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's not a lot of use. It gives a list of libraries you'll need in order to run the game that's either specific to one flavour of Linux or badly outdated or quite possibly both; apt-get couldn't do anything with what's written in the file the last time I tried.

Could we make a list of every library needed for DF to run on most current distros so Toady can update it? Ubuntu appears to be missing libsdl-image1.2:i386, libgtk2.0-0:i386 and libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 by default according to this support page.

I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.
