Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

I'm having some problems getting 2.7.1 to run on my system.

I have downloaded 2.7.1, placed it in my home-folder and renamed it .platinumarts (this worked with 2.7.0) :
If I copy the bin-folder from my old 2.7.0 version and run ./sandbox_unix, I get unreadable fonts in the menu and a ton of "unknown command: fonttex".
I have tried the version on http://www.playdeb.net/software/Sandbox%20Game%20Maker and get the same font problem.

~/.platinumarts is supposed to be a directory for YOUR stuff, that is SEPARATE from sandbox itself. don't do that

You don't suppose that's the problem, do you? using an old, out of date binary, compiled for the PREVIOUS version of sandbox?


I have absolutely no idea why slightly older versions of Linux pretend the binaries I compiled don't exist (ie, your "No such file or directory" error), I can use ldd to see its links, I can use cat to view every single byte of them, but I can't run them as the shell for some stupid reason reports "there is no such file".
You'll probably need to compile your own for now, if you have the libraries, it should be as easy as make -C src install...
I think I'll go make a sticky to that effect...

Thanks, compiling did the trick

cd into src dir an run :
fromdos enet/* && fromdos enet/*/* && chmod +x enet/configure && make install
