Thanks for the release! However, I cannot seem to get the program to load. I downloaded the Linux binary. When I try to open the executable file in the full template (is that what I'm supposed to be doing?) I get the following error in terminal: greg@greg-GA-78LMT-USB3 ~/t3d-3.8/Templates/Full/game $ ./Torque3D
./Torque3D: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks!

Hi triggerfish,

the error means that Torque couldn't find libSDL2-2.0.so.1, depending on your Linux distribution the file could have a slightly different name. Stupid question first, have you installed libSDL? If yes, you can just create a symbolic link and the problem is gone.

1. Find where your libSDL-files are located (for example in Ubuntu: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/)
2. than run the following command as superuser to create a symbolic link to your libSDL-file:
sudo ln libSDL2-2.0.so.0 libSDL2-2.0.so.1

I hope this helps.

Well, SDL was compiled dynamically for the binary, and the so files are in the directory with the application file.

Wondering if there some kind of path issue...

[triggerfish]

I compiled myself. I get this error when trying to open the executable: greg@greg-GA-78LMT-USB3 ~/t3d-3.8/MyProjects/3.8/game $ ./3.8
./3.8: error while loading shared libraries: /home/greg/t3d-3.8/MyProjects/3.8/game/libSDL2-2.0.so.1: file too short

Thanks for the responses! What should I do now?

How'd you make the project files? CMake?
And what'd you use to compile it?

[triggerfish]

I used CMake, and Code::Blocks, following a tutorial posted by Azaezel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISbuSTgTQKI I have LinuxMint 17. I was able to get the development branch from GitHub. I compiled, and was able to run that without problems.

Thanks!

Hi Jeff, Have you had a chance to take a look at my issue? What should I try? Thank you.

[JeffR]

Well, you said manually compiling it all yourself ran without problems right? So the only issue was the precompiled?

May just be a compatibility issue between distros. I compiled the precompiled one on Ubuntu.

Hello.
Where I can find release notes for v3.8?
