#110 Splitscreen Controller Support for Linux?

[Leonardo]

Are you planning to add controller support for linux? It would make a huge difference for playing in splitscreen mode...

[eukara]

The SDL2 backend (build by passing FTE_TARGET=SDL2) does support controllers. The glx one however does not.

Hi eukara. And what about the binaries found on https://www.fteqw.org/? There is this one: AMD64 SDL2 Client (sig) - "fteqw-sdl2"..
I tried to run it but I got the following message:
./fteqw-sdl2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0: no version information available (required by ./fteqw-sdl2)
./fteqw-sdl2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0: no version information available (required by ./fteqw-sdl2)
./fteqw-sdl2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0: no version information available (required by ./fteqw-sdl2)

Can you help me? I really like FTE but I am completely noob in this.
Thanks in advance.

The binaries on the fteqw.org site are linking against recent libc versions for security reasons, so only distributions that keep up with those are working. this leaves debian/ubuntu based systems generally outside of the question.

Spike has its own build system that hosts binaries here: https://fte.triptohell.info/moodles/
but he hasn't updated the SDL binaries in years.

@acceptthis you might want to consider doing that

[eukara]

I've since released binaries compiled using older libc. I'd consider this closed.
