compiling stepmania from source

[choof]

using the current instructions at http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Build_...ource_in_Linux gets me the following error:

bash: ./Utils/build.sh: No such file or directory

maybe this is because I used git instead of mercurial? I'm at a loss for what to do here lol

This could help you: http://www.stepmania.com/forums/show...5-%28beta-2%29

as I've fought this battle before.

It's always built fine for me, but my distro has a package for it. All it does is ./configure && make, but it downloads a source package from sourceforge as opposed to using a checked out trunk.

[choof]

running make in stepmania folder looks like it's working

edit: okay it did something but I still have no idea what to look for to actually start stepmania lol

edit2: found stepmania program file, running from terminal gives
libavutil.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

yeah, none of the solutions on google are helping me

ffmpeg gives me this:

is it maybe looking for ffmpeg in one place, but it's actually in another?

[choof]

fuck it, ran sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg and deleted the stepmania directory
trying again

[choof]

fuck this I'm just gonna boot up a vm lmao

wait, why not just download wine? that's what i did when attempting to install sm on linux...
( unless i'm missing something here)

[arcnmx]

Because uh you can run it natively >.>

Did you ./configure --prefix=somepath && make && make install, then run it from there? Dunno if that will quite solve it without LD_PRELOAD_PATH though, the issue is that the repo seems to be using its own built ffmpeg library instead of your system's (which is stupid). And for some reason it's not linking them statically, also stupid.

You could try compiling from these tarballs instead: http://sourceforge.net/projects/step...les/stepmania/

Prefix tells it where to install to when you run make install. For example, the Arch Linux Stepmania package uses ./configure --prefix=/opt; make; make install in order to install it to /opt/stepmania
