Trouble Compiling GzDOOM on Linux Mint 64

[Breeder]

Using Mint 64 Sarah Mate Version.

When I follow the guide and begin to compile I end up with this:

That file contained a definition error. The change was part of a code submission that apparently never was tested on Linux. Should be fixed now.

I just re-downloaded the source and compiled, but am still getting the error.

Try changing the line at (src/posix/sdl/sdlglvideo.cpp:32) to:

IMPLEMENT_CLASS(SDLGLFB, true, false)

Do you still get the error?

[Breeder]

I ended up updating my system, doing a reboot then trying again.

Worked like a charm the second time without altering any of the files on my end.

[Rachael]

Probably because the change was already made into the base source tree. :)

[Breeder]

Maybe I just re-tried to early last time? Dunno, but I'm happy now! :)

[Breeder]

Just tried it on a fresh Linux install and it still worked!

Thanks for fixing this!!

I notice though on one of my computers that the left mouse button only works sometimes. Yet in everything else, including the Linux Desktop, it responds just fine.

Running Alpha btw.
