#6 Doesn't make on Ubuntu MATE...

[Noma Nescio]

I am using Ubuntu MATE 18.04 64 bit (5.4.0-72-generic), all dependencies are satisfied, ./configure completes without fault.

Then: make gives me:

nn@gan:~/Downloads/matrixgl-2.3.2$ make

In short, nothing to be done for anything ;)

Tried to install on another Ubuntu Mate (5.4.0-77-generic) and got similar, see screenshot.

I would really like to be able to run this, so any help is appreciated.

TIA

Hi Noma,

From the screenshot, it looks like it built fine. You can test it by running: ./src/matrixgl

If that works, you can install with sudo make install. Then if you're using xscreensaver you can run ./add-user-entry.sh and then xscreensaver-demo to select the screensaver to run.

Thanks,
Vincent.
