Openmw is a cool engine that allows you to play The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind on most devices. If you're into it, check it out.

I got it directly off their GitHub. Ok, so compiling....how do I go about that? Man, I feel dumb.

You unpack the compressed archive and look in it in the hope that there will be some instructions provided...

Code:

david@rp54bw64full0512:~ $ cd Downloads/david@rp54bw64full0512:~/Downloads $ lsopenmw-openmw-0.48.0.tar.gzdavid@rp54bw64full0512:~/Downloads $ tar xf openmw-openmw-0.48.0.tar.gz david@rp54bw64full0512:~/Downloads $ lsopenmw-openmw-0.48.0  openmw-openmw-0.48.0.tar.gzdavid@rp54bw64full0512:~/Downloads $ cd openmw-openmw-0.48.0/david@rp54bw64full0512:~/Downloads/openmw-openmw-0.48.0 $ lsapps          CHANGELOG_PR.md  CMakeLists.txt   docker  files    README.mdAUTHORS.md    CI               components       docs    LICENSE  scriptsCHANGELOG.md  cmake            CONTRIBUTING.md  extern  manualdavid@rp54bw64full0512:~/Downloads/openmw-openmw-0.48.0 $ less README.md 

In that README file you find -
Getting Started

* [Official forums](https://forum.openmw.org/)
* [Installation instructions](https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... index.html)
* [Build from source](https://wiki.openmw.org/index.php?title ... ment_Setup)

Following that final link gets you to -

If that doesn't help you might be more at home using what they call The (easier) Binary Way documented at https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... binary-way



Bottom line is that there is probably little if anything that is Raspberry Pi specific here, so your questions might be better addressed to the maintainers of OpenMW or Ubuntu, And before you jump through too many hoops, have you read the Release Notes for V0.48 to check that your issue with the standard package installation is actually fixed?
I originally installed with the sudo apt command in the terminal. It gave me the 0.48 which has the error. I've been forum and Reddit surfing and saw a post where a guy downloaded the tar and got it working. Apparently some dependency called MyGui isn't working correctly in 0.48 or something like that. That post also said the 0.49 development setup also didn't correct it.

I guess I can try to install through the PPA thing? I did look through the readme and stuff in the tar. I'll keep messing around with it. I do appreciate the guidance. I'm becoming a pro at follow guides. Hah

Oh, btw, "the binary way" was where I got the tar.gz file in the first place.
