Hello! Actually, it's a known problem of the prebuilt things, and I working on solution of this. Primary problem that it links the external libtiff.so that was changed in newer Ubuntu versions, and that makes a lot of troubles. For now, you can build the entire Moondust Devkit from the source code that should just work. Manul for that is here: https://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Building_Moondust_Project_from_sources P.S. I do work on Linux Mint 22.2 by myself, and it just works when it built locally. The problem happens with only CI-built thing. In the future I plan to produce DEB packages that will properly integrate to the system and will be compatible unlike that messy portable build made on legacy Ubuntu. |

Since this report is NOT for TheXTech itself, I will close it as invalid. HOWEVER, I will just turn it into troubleshooting discussion. |

Thank you, and sorry for blundering into the TheXTech/Moondust community like this... I haven't built Moondust from source yet - should I close this thread now anyway? You see, I'm not so familiar with GitHub either and did not even know that it's also suitable for discussions. |

No worry, I am not so severe buerocrat, and I am glad to explain to newbiews what they did wrong to hint how to do right. Actually, I will need to slightly adjust the manual article to tell people report troubles with Moondust Devkit at the proper place. |

Hello @Wohlstand ! Thanks a lot! 🙂 I have done everything as you suggested. Well, at first I unknowingly downloaded those files into my Home directory. But I guess it's okay if I subsequently copied those into the new Moondust folder below Downloads, right? If so, could you tell me what I need to do next? |

If you talk about DEB packages, just install them all running from terminal opened in the same directory as these DEBs placed, just run |

Hello @Wohlstand , it took me until tonight to finally reach the point that you are describing, because my knowledge about Linux Mint is still fragmentary... But now it's working, thank you very much! :) Two more questions: Firstly, how do you update Moondust on Linux Mint when a new version comes out, and secondly, how can you uninstall Moondust on Linux Mint if necessary? If you prefer, I'll open separate threads for these questions. |
