One thing I like about Ubuntu is the networking system is much better than Windows. To this day I still don’t really understand how to setup windows networks, but Ubuntu was able to connect to my Windows system almost automatically.
I also like the add/remove programs feature that downloads programs from the internet. It ought to automatically take care of dependencies though. When I got Eclipse for example it wouldn’t run because I didn’t have the java runtime environment.
I’m confused about Eclipse right now. When I created a project under the RakNet directory it automatically added every file there to the project. With Visual Studio you have to select the files to add. This seems bad to me, because it added non-source files.
It also won’t seem to build even if I create it in a clean directory.
I’m not sure what’s going on.
One reply on “Ubuntu good so far”
I just compiled as static library latest raknet source directory using eclipse CDT, no problems just a few warnings. Shared library works too with a bit project tweaks.
Running BitStream sample just fine.
You must make sure you have all OS dependencies needed first so try to compile a simple hello world project and take a look for errors on console tab.
