Hi. I just discovered Cataclysm DDA maybe… a week ago? And I’m in love with it. Graphics are classic and Nethack-y but the gameplay is so deep that I can’t believe how much better this game is than some triple A titles I’ve played in the past. Suck it Fallout 3, you weren’t infinite and you didn’t let me fight fuckin’ dinosaurs.

But joking aside, I still need help. I am currently a Linux user (distro KDE if I’m not mistaken. Correct me if I’m not and it’s just Ubuntu) and I’m still having a bitch of a time getting the tiles to work. Don’t get me wrong, I managed to get the regular ./cataclysm to work just fine, but for some reason I can’t seem to run ./cataclysm-tiles. Which is a shame, because I want to determine myself if this game could get any more… you know, more, with graphics I don’t have to always spam the “E” key over to figure out what everything is.

I’d much appreciate you all taking me through the steps to getting this to run, but if it helps, I can tell you what I’ve done already.

Essentially, I have:  
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev:i386

Followed by of course an apt-get install update

To no avail, accompanies with

make TILES = 1

Which also did nothing… all I got was a:

src/cata\_tiles.h:13:22: fatal error: SDL2/SDL.h: No such file or directory  
#include “SDL2/SDL.h”  
^  
compilation terminated.  
make: \*\*\* [obj/tiles/animation\_tiles.o] Error 1

I’m honestly at a loss, and I’m unsure of where to look, and if an issue like this hasn’t already been solved on the forums. If it has, a link would be nice.

You need SDL2, not SDL1.2.

Alright then, how would I go about getting SDL2? And implementing it so I can use it?

E: Unable to locate package libsdl2.0-dev  
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘libsdl2.0-dev’

Side note, I keep getting an error saying that it’s unable to locate any 2.0-dev package for SDL… if this was what I was supposed to do in the first place anywho.

Apparently it’s not available the way I’m going through this. Is there any other place/way to obtain what I need?

Are you trying to be confusing on purpose or just being ADHD lazy?

So what does actually happen when you do:  
apt-get install libsdl2-dev
