Topic: Linux testers needed!

Hey community!

I wrote a small tool that makes working with Maratis much easier by offering functionality like auto download Maratis from SVN and bulding it for you,
showing you your recent projects and allowing you to automatically create a CMake build system for your game plugins.

I need some people to test it since I want to find all Bugs that are in there. All obvious ones are fixed by now (since I am using it myself wink)
but who can be sure wink

Debian/Ubuntu:
http://scary-squid.de/downloads/linux-t … anager.deb

openSUSE:
http://scary-squid.de/downloads/linux-t … x86_64.rpm

Both packages are 64bit only.

I want to release a Windows version as soon as I have all wanted functionality in the Linux release.

PS: You might need to install development packages like gcc, g++ etc. to make it work. I still need to figure out the exact depencies.

that's cool smile

Re: Linux testers needed!

Hey, Sponk.

Just downloaded the .DEB package and it says that the "svn" dependency is not satisfiable. Are there particular subversion packages I need installed in order to get this to work?

Let me know.

Re: Linux testers needed!

oh, I forgot to change it to subversion. Debian hast other names than openSUSE.

You should now be able to install it (you have to redownload of course wink)

Re: Linux testers needed!

Hey, Sponk. I just installed the .DEB file, but as soon as I launch the program, I get this error:

"Could not save history: Could not open /home/UserName/.maratis-manager/history.conf"

What do I need to do? Let me know.

---ADDED---

Also, when I try to "open with file manager" I get a "Failed to open URI: 'file:///Empty'" error. Mind explaining the application and what the buttons do?

Re: Linux testers needed!

That's why I need someone to test smile

Try to create the file manually. It is possible that I made a mistake with the file permissions.

PS: You can only open a project in your file browser if you actually specify one.

Re: Linux testers needed!

sunnystormy: Did you try it? Does it work?

Re: Linux testers needed!

Hey, Sponk. I managed to get the file issue resolved by creating the maratis-manager dotfile inside of my home/$USERNAME directory. I also had to create the "history.conf" file inside and modify its permissions with a "chmod 777".

When I load a "mproj" file from within the manager, though, it doesn't open the Maratis Editor. Is that what it's supposed to do?

Let me know.

Re: Linux testers needed!

You first have to install Maratis via the 'Install' button on the 'Updates' tab.

BTW: I added a few messages that tell you what to do when you try to open an empty project or when you try to open the editor when it isn't installed yet. And I fixed the problem with the missing files wink

EDIT: You might want to redownload it. I just have pushed all fixes onto my FTP server.

Re: Linux testers needed!

Alrighty. So I've played around with the Manager a bit, and now, every time I open a project (double-clicking on the ".mproj" file without using the Manager), I just get a blank scene graph. Any "mproj" files (even the ones that were working before) just go to a blank scene. Any ideas?

Also, could you explain how the "create plugin" process is supposed to work? Thanks.

Re: Linux testers needed!

First: My program only operates inside your home directory (~/.maratis-manager) so I think that your problem with double-clicking has another source since I guess that you are using the Maratis *.deb package which installs to /usr/bin by default.

Create plugin creates a new directory (GamePlugin) inside the dir of the *.mproj file you have selected in the 'Recent projects' field. There it will create a cmake build system for your plugin with all includes etc. set up correctly. You just have to look inside the 'GamePlugin/build' folder and you will find a makefile and a code::blocks project you can use to build your plugin.

Hope this helps big_smile

Re: Linux testers needed!

Yeah, I'm wondering if there's some kind of symlink issue with the version of Maratis that was downloaded inside the Manager and the one I originally installed through your Debian packages.

I can do some more digging later tonight. I'll also look further into the plugin functionality. Thanks for your help.

Re: Linux testers needed!

Update: I just uploaded a new version. I found many issues on my Debian installation and fixed them. I hope it works better now.

Debian/Ubuntu:
http://scary-squid.de/downloads/linux-t … anager.deb

openSUSE:
http://scary-squid.de/downloads/linux-t … x86_64.rpm

Re: Linux testers needed!

Can someone please retest this version? I fixed many bugs on Ubuntu that were not there on openSUSE.

EDIT: Still the same link
