Building on ubuntu linux

A quick guide to compiling meka for ubuntu linux

# Dockerfile
FROM docker.io/ubuntu:22.04

RUN apt update && apt install -y \
    cmake \
    build-essential \

    liballegro-image5-dev \
    liballegro-ttf5-dev \

    git

WORKDIR /root
RUN git clone https://github.com/ocornut/meka.git
WORKDIR /root/meka/meka/srcs
RUN make

WORKDIR /root/meka/meka/
CMD ./meka

Ubuntu version used: 12.04.1

please note, this does install some packages for allegro that might be unneeded

To make meka compile we need to install allegro first

-- Information about manually building allegro:

-- http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Install_Allegro5_From_Git/Linux/Debian

open a terminal window:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake xorg-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu-dev
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev 
sudo apt-get install libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libphysfs-dev 
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libasound-dev libpulse-dev libflac-dev libdumb1-dev
sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags dvi2ps dvipdfmx latex2html pandoc
sudo git clone https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5.git
cd allegro
sudo git checkout 5.0
sudo mkdir build
cd build
sudo cmake ..
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Now we need to get the latest meka source code:

sudo git clone https://github.com/ocornut/meka.git

This will make a meka directory in your folder

cd meka
cd srcs
make
cd ..
./meka
