Making QB64 work on Linux

[mnrvovrfc]

Void Linux (64-bit "libc" *not* "musl"): It looks like the "setup_lnx.sh" would need better logic for existence of "make" utility. This didn't happen before, why is it happening? I'm showing a bit of what happened to me at the terminal a short time ago.

Code: (Select All)

[xx@xxxxxxxx qbpe]$ ./setup_lnx.sh
VoidLinux detected.
Compiling and installing QB64-PE...
./setup_lnx.sh: line 112: make: command not found
./setup_lnx.sh: line 113: make: command not found
It appears that the qb64pe executable file was not created, this is usually an indication of a compile failure (You probably saw lots of error messages pop up on the screen)
Usually these are due to missing packages needed for compilation. If you're not running a distro supported by this compiler, please note you will need to install the packages listed above.
If you need help, please feel free to post on the QB64 Phoenix Edition Forums detailing what happened and what distro you are using.
Also, please tell them the exact contents of this next line:
DISTRO: voidlinux

Thank you for using the QB64-PE installer.
[xx@xxxxxxxx qbpe]$ sudo xbps-install make

And the rest of it to success. Note that I did *not* do the full-system update before asking to install "make" because I had done that two weeks ago or so.
