Linux Question Again

[godreborn]

I just made a new user in arch, but now when I open up archlinux, I'm outside of the home directory. in fact, I'm outside of the virtual drive itself. how do I get to the home directory and make that my default location? I'm pretty sure I'm the admin account in linux.

 

[godreborn]

I figured it, and I compiled soh.elf in archlinux, but there's a problem I can't figure out. I still can't launch it:

[godreborn@GODREBORN-LAPTOP soh]$ ./soh.elf
bash: ./soh.elf: No such file or directory
[godreborn@GODREBORN-LAPTOP soh]$ ls
assets fixbaserom.py Makefile Resource.rc soh.elf soh.vcxproj.filters
baserom format.sh oot.otr SHIPOFHARKINIAN.ico soh.sln soh.vcxproj.user
build include resource.h soh soh.vcxproj src

 

[chrisrlink]

have you tried chmod +x soh.elf? then ./soh.elf?

 

[godreborn]

yes

 

[chrisrlink]

chmod +x sets the executible flag in all linux distros for files mainly used for shell scripts and other executiblee files (you could also right click the file --->Properties---->permissions----> tick "run file as executable"---> close dialog in arch espesially kde environment you can just double click the elf and hit execute but if that fails use chmod

 

[chrisrlink]

let me look it up I've never seen .elf used in anything but playstation consoles

 

[jurassicplayer]

I can't tell what you doing based off of what information you are providing, but you should probably be setting executable on the file that is just "soh" and executing that...if it's actually a file.

bingo did you compile it using 32 bit libraries and have multilib repo enabled? cause .elf is a 32 bit executable and cannot run on amd64 linux without 32 bit libraries

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=21749

also a wealth of info on the .elf format from arch's manual wiki

pacman -S multilib ? I uncommented a multilib server iirc in pacman/conf.

 

[chrisrlink]

do pacman -Sy to update the repos first then pacman -S lib32-gcc-libs to download the compilers 32 bit libraries

 

[godreborn]

alright, I got passed that error into another: ./soh.elf: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I dont know in fact atm if u get a homedirectory if u use admin acc or just starting in root everytime. Its also best to create a new user and give him sudo rights.
Did u checked https://archlinux.org? Its a pretty good side for linux.
Maybe use homed command "homectl create username" for creating a new user, like descripted here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-homed

I'm at the end, but thanks. I'm trying to run oot in linux, but this keeps happening. I've spent over 24 hours trouble shooting all these errors with the linux build, and I think there's only this left. I don't want to give up. I want to know what I'm doing wrong:

[godreborn@GODREBORN-LAPTOP soh]$ ./soh.elf

[godreborn]

I just found out the error above is normal. The Linux build might not be ready. Thanks for the help, guys.

 

[godreborn]

btw, I got the same error with the official release, so I think it's an error on their side. they say to use wine, but is that for the windows build or the linux one? something is definitely fucked up. lol

wine stands fore wine is not an emulator is a compat layer to allow to run windows exes on linux so what they're essentailly saying is to install wine+winetricks (allows you to install dependencies with a command or a few clicks), then dl the windows binary (exed and run it that way

 

[godreborn]

Well, that's not what I want. A lot of people have this same error with the Linux build. I even tried the official Linux build, same error.

 

[pokota]

are you building it yourself or trying to use a prebuilt binary?

 

[godreborn]

Both. No one seems to get past this error.

 

[pokota]

did you follow the directions in BUILDING.md?
