Error when trying to export with self-compiled version on linux

[alicuza]

I tried exporting to html, win, linux, doesn't work, i always get "file downloading error". It seems to work with the binary release. What am I missing?

Hi @alicuza -
It's working for me (sorry for the "works for me"!) with version 1.2.3066-dev (f133009). That's the newest thing from git, via a fresh git clone. I was able to export a loaded cart of my own for rpi, mac, win, linux

>cd projects
projects>load charset.tic
cart charset.tic loaded!
use RUN command to run it

projects>export win charset.exe


charset.exe exported :)
projects> folder       # output file formats check out OK with "file" and in my file manager

I'm running Debian testing (future Debian 14), with dependencies installed from https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80?tab=readme-ov-file#ubuntu-2404-noble-numbat (at least those). I build like this in a Makefile in a separate location, but you should be able to adapt that to your own scripts. Not sure how many of those flags are needed, but this is what I do.

build: src
        cd ${SOURCE_DIR}/build && cmake \
            -DBUILD_SDLGPU=On -DBUILD_WITH_ALL=On \
            -DBUILD_STATIC=On \
            -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 \
            ..
        cd ${SOURCE_DIR}/build && cmake --build . --parallel

Maybe check your build options, and your build dependencies? In my experience, features can be missing if you don't have the right dependency packages installed; for example, pipewire/pulseaudio output via SDL needs the right dev packages to be installed first.

Not sure what it uses for the cross-compilation stuff. You might have to closely read through the build output to figure out if anything's missing 😢

(And it's not a pro feature, just as documented.)

thx for the response. I think I was missing some dependencies on this machine.
