Title: Linux compilation documentation
Post by: flusteredpie on May 24, 2015, 02:58:19 pm: Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post or this has been answered elsewhere. I'm currently trying to get the project to compile on Linux Mint and have come across a few issues that I'm keen to document (and potentially fix if I can find the time!). I see you have a wiki page on the subject - http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Fs2_open_on_Linux/Installing_the_Development_Libraries - but I can't find anywhere to register. Who do I need to speak to about getting access?

The project config is referencing files that have recently been renamed (uppercase to lowercase). I've attached a diff to fix the issue - hopefully the first of many! :-)

Apologies, I was just following the advice given here - http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=82688.msg1479353#msg1479353 - under "How This Will Work". I was also under the impression that you were using SVN but I'll fork the git repo as suggested.

Will do, thank you
