Hello everybody.
I just compiled Knights 012 on a Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix Netbook. Had to install the packages before that and made a little fix in the Makefile. (had to change lboost_thread to lboost_thread_mt)
Alright, now it works, but you all know Linux.
There should be a few enhancements, not big things, but useful ones.
1) Make some parameter, when you start the game through the terminal. (e.g. knights --window)
2) Try to get Alt + Tab working (didn't worked out for me)
3) Create some distribution specific packages (Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora) (I'll try and make a ubuntu one, in january)
I posted it here, because it seems, that the jira site is down.
Alt+Tab works fine (for me) in windowed mode, just not full screen apparently.
I would see creating distribution-specific packages as a job for the distribution maintainers, not for me. There is already one for Arch Linux: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32272
The Makefile settings are going to be distribution specific. I suppose I ought to include some sort of configure script that works out where the boost libraries (etc) are on your system, but I haven't bothered with that so far.
