I have made small relational database in C, which uses the fantastic Raylib graphics for the interface. Raylib just works perfect for me.

I'm using Linux Mint and it works fine, but if I have to use the database on another Linux Mint computer, I ran into some issues. When I try to run the executable, it respond not associated to any known programs...

What do the other computer need to run the executable file?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! Afaik, it should work ok on other computers with same OS and system libraries installed.

If some external resources are required they should be provided along the executable.

It could also be a permissions issue.

Thanks Ray.

I guess it might be, because I'm trying to use the executable on a Linux Mint LMDE(Debian) and I had made it on a Linux Mint(Ubuntu).

Right now, I'm trying to install Raylib on Linux Mint LMDE, but it's a struggle.

I have read that the installation can be as simple as this:

1. git clone https://github.com/raysan5/raylib.git

2. cd raylib

3. cmake . gives lots of errors

4. make

I fairly new to Linux and uses CodeBlocks and C99.

After many issues, I think the above is okay. Now I got errors about rlgl.h line 1200 gives undefined reference to 'sqrtf' and many more raymath.h e.g.

That seems related to math library, are you linking with some math library?

I don't think so, but now I got rid of that error and can compile without errors and warnings.

When I try to run the compiled file, the console shows: error while loading shared libraries: libraylib.so.500: cannot shared object file: No such file or directory

That error is related to linking with raylib shared library and not found by executable, I recommend linking with raylib static library.

I linked with libraylib.a and had to add an m, before I could compile.

And the

DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY);

was shown on the screen.

The m did remove the error "undefined reference to 'sqrtf'" error.

Big thanks!

Nice! Glad it finally worked! Hope you enjoy raylib! 😄

Worth it. The old database uses graphics.h you were inspired by. Because of the need of editing i have to address each character. The old database use extended ASCII. In the new database I have to convert to UTF8 in Raylib (Danish) when showing on the screen, but still save data as extended ASCII because of compatibility. Quite a task for a hobby programmer but doable with Raylib!

So many thanks for a great libray!
