In the xml file be sure to give paths to where each thing you are putting in the ROM. Put those results into a .v32 file =====Using the Vircon32 API===== ====displaying text==== ====processing textures and regions==== ====displaying a region at location==== =====Per User Correspondence===== ====abowes2==== ===question cprog=== ===response cprog=== ===question unix=== ===response unix=== ===discord message links=== ====amelvil2==== ===question=== ===response=== ===discord message link=== ====cmazzara==== ===question cprog=== so I know that the Vircon32 stuff needs to be in an obj directory, so when submitting those files that need to be in that directory should I just submit them or is there a way to submit a directory as well? https://discord.com/channels/738748325217697856/738749154573942845/1165032893316341900 ===response cprog=== https://discord.com/channels/738748325217697856/738749154573942845/1165058838764986488 read the rest of the response that is there broken up between multiple responses like an array. ===question unix=== How to search for the contents of a library. https://discord.com/channels/738748325217697856/738749179001700372/1163858436358930574 ===response unix=== Do "aptitude search " ===discord message links=== ====efritz2==== ===question cprog=== ===response cprog=== ===question unix=== ===response unix=== ===discord message links=== ====gsalce==== ===question cprog=== Hey, I am finishing up installing my dependencies and there was one I could use some advice on. In the video libraries section of the "Readme," there is a listing for GLUT. Firstly, I was wondering if this install was necessary as it specifies it is only for older systems? Secondly, if so, what would be the best to install, as there are two options that look like the best fit so far, one being "freeglut3-dev" or "libghc-glut-dev"? ===response cprog=== I didn't bother with it and I didn't have any problems so probably don't worry about it (unless you have an old system) ===question unix=== Am I understanding the make.sh correctly when reading it as taking the .c file and outputting that as a .asm into /obj. Then, taking the aforementioned .asm and outputting it as .vbin into /obj also. And lastly, taking the .xml file (a "cartridge") and putting that .v32 output into /bin for Vircon32 use? So, when creating a new "cartridge" via Make.sh, one would need to make sure the desired inputs of the .c and .xml are correct as well as the corresponding outputs so they be correctly compiled / assembled / packed ? ===response unix=== yes. It might be helpful to manually run the steps yourself to bear witness to them, ani determine what best fits your workflow ===discord message links=== https://discord.com/channels/738748325217697856/738749154573942845/1165094261579071558 https://discord.com/channels/738748325217697856/738749154573942845/1165094552466620446 https://discord.com/channels/738748325217697856/738749179001700372/1166578651672891454 https://discord.com/channels/738748325217697856/738749179001700372/1166645885959164014 ====gsmith52==== ===question=== ===response=== ===discord message link=== ====jbernata==== ===question cprog=== "I’m getting this error while following the instructions in the readme for the vircon emulator.
