I'd be grateful if someone can clarify and correct/confirm my understanding
of this for two related reasons...
A) In the past when I've upgraded from one Xubuntu distro to another my
previously made RPCemu 'just worked' with no need to recompile. Although I
think I had to install allegro4, but I'm afraid I can't remember. I realise
that in general you should remake, but doing the above was a lot simpler
and worked fine. :-) So one question I have in mind is if this might again
be possible.
I tried this morning to run a copied across made RPCemu on a machine with
Xfce Mint and it didn't work. Even issuing an 'exec' command to start it in
a terminal caused the terminal to evaporate. I've not yet tried installing
allegro4 and seeing if that fixes the problem because I'm not sure which
specific packages I need. Is it just the allegro4-dev package?
If so, do I then need to copy the '.m4' files as below? (I assume so, but
want to check in the above context).
B) Hoping the above might work to save effort. :-) But if it doesn't I'll
start from scratch and try to make a new working version, copying across my
existing hd4, hostfs, etc, once made. So my questions here are how I
combine what Sean explained with the previous make process. Afraid I've
forgotten the details so will look for the webpage or find that in my
notes. But a clearer step by step of the whole process would help me, and I
guess others in due time.
Thanks,
Jim
