Compiling on lubuntu

[fph]

Frankly I never touched that file because I can configure everything with my mouse. I don't have many ideas to solve the mouse-not-working issue, sorry.

I should be able to set up the subwindows by editing sdl2init.txt. Now to find a specification for it...

The saga continues? You are a troublemaker.

Then we are shit out of luck. LOL GTFO!

I experimented with sdl2init.txt, got it to display ascii fine, which is what I play with anyway.

Lubuntu apparently uses Wayland, a different version of the Linux graphics stack: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comme...d_via_mir_for/ . This may be the reason why the support doesn't work too well; it is a much less tested combination.

Compiles and runs on Lubuntu 20.04.

sudo apt install libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev

make clean
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sdl --with-no-install
make

Better to use SDL1. There's no benefit of using SDL2.

Just another remark. If the SDL2 interface should work (with mouse support), it hasn't been tested on Ubuntu at all? But then raises another question. On what system it has been tested? And actually does the mouse work on any system? Nick should confirm this.

Mouse certainly works on any system I've tested on.

SDL2 interface has an interesting history; it was written by someone who then left the community after having a fight with a couple of people. Some work has been put into it since, but not by me. Reports indicate it's mostly functional, but with some quirks.

I can confirm that the mouse support works on vanilla Ubuntu; I have been using it in many version combinations. However, Lubuntu is a different beast than most linuxes, because it uses Wayland instead of X as its graphics stack.
