Installation on Linux

[Neelix57]

I compiled version 1.2.7-unstable with wxWidgets 3.1.5. But, when I install LisaEm (as root), the script recompiles the emulator with wxWidgets 3.0 and install it, instead of install my previous compiled binaries.

I ran under the same issue on rc3a, compiled with wx3.1.4.

So, I finally put wxWidgets 3.1.4 to update-alternatives as well as 3.1.5 for unstable..
This time running sudo ./build.sh install still recompiles LisaEm before install, but with v3.1.4 and installs it.

Another thing to know, For both rc3a and unstable, I needed to slightly modify the build.sh script in order LisaEm installs correctly system wide, as well as the src/tools/build.sh. Both throw me an error creating the directory and skins were installed in the wrong place.

Please see https://github.com/rayarachelian/lisaem/blob/master/README.md#compiling-wxwidgets-for-your-system and also this example image: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rayarachelian/lisaem/master/resources/2-build-lisaem.gif - you need to set your PATH variable to where wxWidgets is installed, which should be something like this:

export PATH=/usr/local/wx3.1.4-gtk/bin/:$PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/wx3.1.5-gtk/bin/:$PATH

The build script can't know which wxWidgets to use across all systems, you need to explicitly add the bin directory for it to your path so it can find the right wx-config binary.

What modifications did you need to make in src/tools/build.sh and build.sh?

[Neelix57]

I already set my PATH variable, but this doesn't change anything. I think this has to do with the $CYGWIN variable in conditional instruction.

For the modifications I made in the files, I will create a pull request.

Finally, I found what's wrong with the installation. I set my PATH variable with the 2 wx versions needed for both versions of LisaEm. Keeping only the one needed for the version of LisaEm I want to compile fixed the issue.
