Adventure Game Studio Editor in Ubuntu [duplicate]

  • 772

How do I install Adventure Game Studio AGS Editor in Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) ? I am pretty sure it can be built for Linux too, I just am not very experienced in building things from source.

16.04

  1. You are going to need Wine in order to install and run Windows software/games.

    I will link you to the official WineHQ Wiki. It has all the information you need to install Wine.

    Then is as simple as to install the software just like you would do in windows.

    N.B : As pointed out by Byte Commander AGS has a bronze compatibility level, so you should expect issue installing/running this specific software.

  2. Here is a link to a description of how to install it on a variety of Linux platforms, including Ubuntu. It also has debugging information that I won't be showing here.

    The following code should be typed into the terminal: Install dependencies 

    sudo apt-get install git debhelper build-essential pkg-config libaldmb1-dev libfreetype6-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libogg-dev

    Download the source with git 

    git clone git://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags.git
cd ags  # change to the ags directory

    Build the package fakeroot debian/rules binary
    Install it with gdebi sudo gdebi ../ags_3~git-1_*.deb

    EDIT: Sorry, just realized you were asking for the editor. Yes, you'll need Wine for that unfortunately (Source)
