Local Toolchain

While this approach is the most reliable, it can only run on a Debian/Ubuntu Operating System. So it would be optimal to have an native Ubuntu-like installation on your computer. Setting one up is not difficult, but requires some time, additional disk space and some knowledge about Multi-Boot environments.

As an alternative you can run a Lubuntu VM (virtual machine) on your Windows Computer or Mac. You can either setup the toolchain (install required software and libraries) like explained in the following section or just use a prepared VirtualBox machine which is dokumented here. The VM-based approach is the most flexible, but has some performance overheads compared to a native Linux installation.

Setting up the local development toolchain on a Ubuntu Computer or VM is quite straightforward once the OS installation is done. Like also mentioned in the README just run the following commands using root privileges (Run 'sudo -i' before and exit using ctrl+d afterwards)

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev libsdl2-dev
