Bit of a snag on Arch Linux. You are linking to a shared system library.

./AGE_OF_BRASS: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Arch package

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/flac/

provides libFLAC++.so=10-64, libFLAC.so=12-64

There probably aren't a lot of people playing this on Arch kek.

Willing to bet this is a Debian build. Am I in the ballpark?

To be honest this is the first time I'm distributing a linux application, so I don't know what I'm doing. I thought I screwed up badly, updated libraries, rebuilt everything but it still links libFLAC.so.8. That seems like a common problem on arch and can be circumvented with a symbolic link (it's not like I'm actually using FLAC files anyway). I'm building from ubuntu.

Thanks for trying it.

Np, your game is awesome. There are ways for tryhard Arch users like myself to get around it.

>I'm building from ubuntu.

Yeah I figured. In my own project I had a similar issue where I distributed an Arch build and a debian user couldn't use it.
