Ubuntu 16.04???

Post by holynoob »

Hello, Matlo.
Can I install/compile your app under ubuntu 16.04 somehow?

I tried Installing from the .deb package but it had failed.
Then I tried to compile but I couldn't Install "libwxgtk2.8-dev". Is it not supported by ubuntu 16.04? It says:
E: Unable to locate package libwxgtk2.8-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libwxgtk2.8-dev'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libwxgtk2.8-dev'

Well I installed libwxgtk3.0-dev, but it's incompatible and gives "cannot convert ‘const wchar_t*’ to ‘const char*’ in initialization" error.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I think it can run normally on terminal.

Well I messed with the code and even managed to compile it with widgets3.0, but config and fpsconfig give a lot of errors.
Seems like most of them have to do something with Strings. So I won't go any further. Besides I found a few other things that don't work as expected in 16.04, so it's better to stick with 14.04 anyway.

Topic moved to the development section.
I plan to make Ubuntu 16.04 the next supported GNU/Linux desktop OS.
Patches that can help toward this goal are very welcome!
