installing ebiten on fedora
Update: i also found the dependency list on the ebiten wiki: https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/wiki/Linux#fedora
Second: and it is now found on the new website https://ebiten.org/install.html#Fedora
a few weeks after i ported Impact.js to the modern world (some writing about this adventure will follow), i found another interesting engine, this time written in go.
the engine is called ebiten and has a pretty low-level api, but compiles to all desktop and mobile platforms - so i want to give it a try
install
go get github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/...but wait… there are errors! :(
~ go get github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/...

^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.i’m using fedora, and i started to search for the missing headers…
dnf provides '*X11/Xlib.h'
..
...
..after bugging through a whole bunch of other errors and missing headers, i found all dependencies you need!
all together
first of all we can install needed packages with a groupinstall
sudo dnf groupinstall "X Software Development"the other missing packages are
- alsa-lib-devel
- libX11-devel
- libXrandr-devel
- libXcursor-devel
- libXinerama-devel
sudo dnf install alsa-lib-devel libX11-devel libXrandr-devel libXcursor-devel libXinerama-develnow everything should just work :)
