Getting it running on Manjaro/Arch 64-bit

Any Manjaro/Arch 64bit users that can tell me the secret to getting this running? I think I need to install the 32bit version of liblua51 but I’m not sure how to pull that off. Getting the error below when I try to run cataclymdda-launcer.

error while loading shared libraries: liblua5.1.so.0

two easy ways:

or make it yourself.

Also the AUR package has the following dependencies - if you are lacking one, try installing that and run your package again.

bzip2
freetype2
gcc-libs
glibc
ncurses
sdl2
sdl2_image
sdl2_mixer
sdl2_ttf
zlib
gettext (make)
git (make)
lua51 (optional) – (unknown)

Oh, duh. :slight_smile: Didn’t realize it was in the AUR repo. Neato. Thanks.

Hmph… failed. Thoughts?

UPDATE: Never mind. yaourt -Syua cataclysm-dda-git works.

to compile it

git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA.git
cd Cataclysm-DDA
make CLANG=1 CCACHE=1 RELEASE=1 TILES=1 SOUND=1 LUA=1

you might not have clang or ccache so you might install them

yaourt -S clang ccache

this is all well and good, but now I don’t know how to run it in a window instead of on another screen (I don’t even know how to change the screen, why hide it). help me!)

Well first, you may want to try a new version and not dig 5 years ago for one.

sudo pacman -S cataclysm-dda
or
sudo pacman -S cataclysm-dda-tiles
You can try “pacman” or if that doesn’t work try “pamac” without quotes.

Try one or the other in the terminal and if you need graphical help. You can try looking in the package manager search bar. Tiles is the version with graphics, while Curses is the ascii with less memory overhead.

If you are using a desktop or laptop you perhaps would have better luck with a Debian system like Ubuntu. Pretty sure it has experimental versions. But I don’t use that OS.
