should be
else if ( 0 == strcmp( session, "kde" ) ) type = KDIALOG;

if (0 <= system(cmd) ) break;
should be (?)
if (0 <= system(buffer) ) break;
I modified src/platform/sys_linux.c as above and

Code: Select all

~/egoboo-2.9.0-src$ make all PREFIX=$HOME/.local
Successfully it finished!! :D

Code: Select all

~/egoboo-2.9.0-src$ sudo make install PREFIX=$HOME/.local
Successfully it finished!! :D

Code: Select all

~/.local/game$ ./egoboo-2.x
started the egoboo!!!

But..... :( :cry: :curse:
I cannot make the player walk, that is, only 4keys "UP", "DOWN", "LEFT" and "RIGHT" do not work.
"USE LEFT" and "USE RIGHT" and "DROP LEFT" and "DROP RIGHT" and "JUMP" and "CAMERA ROTATE LEFT" works well.
"SNEAK (ITEM WINDOW)" works too and I can move the selected space in items by "UP" and so on.
But the player does not walk.

"ROTATE CAMERA RIGHT" makes the screen black for a while and then players are unseen.

Try editing controls.txt in ~/.egoboo-2.x (or using Egoboo's input menu)
I had a problem where nothing worked because of a controls.txt version change :|

Thanks again, penguinflyer5234. :)

I had changed by using Egoboo's "option"->"Input ..." before I posted the previous post of mine.

I will manually edit ~/.egoboo-2.x/controls.txt and check if it works.

Thanks. :)
