Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Configuring the source code.

[blucalvin <blu...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I had my semester exams finish yesterday and now am back 100% for this week.

I have been going through the "git book" as Bruce pointed out. However, a
small issue I had last time has still not been fixed. It is that the audio
isn't working.

The following is the error message that came:

{
haris@lorien:~/Desktop/tuxmath/build/src$ tuxmath

Error: I couldn't load a music file:
/usr/local/share/tuxmath/sounds/game.mod
The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was:
Unrecognized music format


Could not load sound file - attempting to proceed without sound.
haris@lorien:~/Desktop/tuxmath/build/src$
}

And there is no sound while the game is working. Maybe the installation got
screwed up. Suppose if I wish to reinstall, how can I uninstall tuxmath?
Will it be enough to delete the temporary "build" directory?

There are files and folders in /usr/local/bin from where I can run tuxmath.

{
haris@lorien:/usr/local/bin$ ls
autopoint        gettextize  msgcmp   msgexec    msginit   ngettext
tuxmathserver      xmlcatalog
envsubst         gettext.sh  msgcomm  msgfilter  msgmerge  recode-sr-latin
tuxmathtestclient  xmllint
generate_lesson  msgattrib   msgconv  msgfmt     msgunfmt  tuxmath
xgettext
gettext          msgcat      msgen    msggrep    msguniq   tuxmathadmin
xml2-config
}

Also in /usr/local/share such as:

{
haris@lorien:/usr/local/share$ ls
aclocal  ca-certificates  doc  emacs  fonts  games  gettext  gtk-doc  info
locale  man  ppd  sgml  tuxmath  xml
haris@lorien:/usr/local/share$ cd tuxmath/
haris@lorien:/usr/local/share/tuxmath$ ls
fonts  images  menus  missions  sounds
haris@lorien:/usr/local/share/tuxmath$
}

I would like to clone the repository with my "pull-push" privileges. But
before that, how do I clear my system of the previous installations? Please
help.

Thank you,
Haris.
