[SOLVED] xtetris.exe file missing !

[ofbodur]

I downloaded xtetris-2.5.2.tar.gz
gzip -d xtetris-2.5.2.tar.gz
then

Code: Select all

tar -xvf xtetris-2.5.2.tar
a list of file is unpacked.
./xtetris-2.5.2

./xtetris-2.5.2/Xtetris.ad.all

But I can not find xtetris.exe file!
Where can i find it to execute my program?

let me also remind you that:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost Downloads]# uname -a

What you have downloaded is the source code to compile xtetris.

We rarely need to compile our own applications in Linux. Instead we use precompiled packages.
Mageia has precompiled binary packages for the following Tetris clones

kblocks, Itris, cuyo, crack-attack

To install these or any other Linux application we use the Mageia Software install GUI as described here
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_management

All right, then how am i going to create an executable xtetris.exe file by using the source code?
can you tell me how to use makefile?

[Mayavimmer]

Ofbodur, your expectations indicate that you are new to the Linux world and come from the Windows world. Here are some tips:

gzip -d xtetris-2.5.2.tar.gz
then
tar -xvf xtetris-2.5.2.tar

This is ok, but the usual would be:

Code: Select all

tar zxvf xtetris-2.5.2.tar.gz

...and without the minus sign.

But I can not find xtetris.exe file!

There are exceptions, but normally when you have source code you should not expect to find the executable; you are expected to compile it yourself. One advantage of this strategy is that the compilation system would leverage your preexisting shared libraries.
Also normally in the Linux world executable files do not have the Windows .exe extension, and the executable you create would be called xtetris.
Finally, you are expected to read the README file which gives hopefully complete instructions on how to do what you want. README's are usually written by programmers who often take for granted that the user has properly prepared the system for compilation. Make sure you have the proper compilers and support environment installed (gcc, make, maybe autotools, etc).
Do not expect 100% success in all cases when porting alien software to Mageia. Only packagers do

11 Based Tetris / Version 2.6

INSTALLATION

1. Make sure you have X11 release 5 or 6, and make sure that "xmkmf" is in
your path somewhere (probably /usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R5/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin).

2. Edit the switches at the top of Imakefile as necessary. Note the
stuff about whether xtetris runs with a color monitor by default or
not. (As shipped it assumes black/white.)

3. I assume you want to use your installed libraries and include
files. So type

xmkmf
make depend

4. Install it.

(become root or something)
make install

5. Now, if you get bored with playing the game, you can look in the file
TODO, for a list of useful things you could help add.

If you do anything listed in the "TODO" file, please send your changes
to xtetris@cs.ucla.edu.

6. If you fix ANYTHING, please send a "diff -c" file. The address:

xtetris@cs.ucla.edu

now what is the problem?

[Mayavimmer]

Ofbodur, you did not follow the instructions you yourself displayed, so I won't be able to help. Happy gaming.

[ofbodur]

I followed the steps. I could manage to handle xmkmf but now,

I have the error as below:
