I am reading this as I am trying to figure it out. I’m on windows and using CygWin.
I will try it on linux afterwards, because I have both, but my linux computer was 15USD so how good can it be? My Linux box, with 256MB of ram and no video card can unzip tarballs faster than my Windows bix, with 1GB of ram and NVidia video card> go figure, Hey?
I’ll edit this if I can figure it out, and let you know how to get it to work! Best of luck!
I asked because it says on the download page that there’s a Windows “precompiled binary for artists” available. Also, for Linux distros, there should already be something in their respective software repositories. You should be able to get some version of Crystal Space up and running without compiling anything.
