rpm file

how install BlitzMax on linux Mandriva KDE ( .RPM File ??)

no .rpm file... BlitzMax is just an archive of binary files..

some people use BlitzMax on Linux Mandriva KDE ???

I would suggest you follow one of the methods for a different distribution, as they are generally very similar.
Assuming you had a mostly complete (developer) install of Mandriva, you may only need to create some symlinks.

Anyway, check out the topic at the top of the forum for more info :-)

I can run - MaxIDE

"cannot find -lGLU ???"

I think you're missing graphics drivers.
You can get them from manufacturer's site (if it's nvidia, or ati)

I run Blitzmax in Mandriva 2006, no problems at all, it works PERFECTLY!

But you have to get the graphics drivers working.


Oh and a time back I sent an email to skidracer with a Mandriva howto, for him to post in the sticky. Maybe he will some day?

only need install

The Mesa 3D Graphics Library
