Anything similar for Linux? The Milton github page says that the source might possibly compile on Linux but is pessimistic.

- dcminter 2y agoAre you sure? It seemed to say that it would manually compile, but that the author hadn't automated it because they didn't know CMake well enough. (I have time to kill at an airport later so I might try it)
- dcminter 2y agoOk, can confirm that on Ubuntu 24.04.2 it builds (with a handful of deprecation warnings) and runs ok. I didn't do more than a smoke-test on running it though. The README says: On 2021-02-27 a successful build for Linux can be done with these steps: [... (omitted the actual steps) ...] And if successful, you should have an executable called "Milton" that runs. I did not make this work automatically with CMake, because I don't know CMake. That doesn't look to have changed since 2022.
- abetusk 2y agoI just compiled it (Ubuntu 22.04.5) and have it working. There's an updated section in the README that gives steps for compilation under Linux.
- leephillips 2y agoSounds great and thank you, but I don’t see anything new in the README for Milton on github.
- abetusk 2y agoIt's not new, it just says "On 2021-02-27 a successful build for Linux can be done with these steps" [0]. I followed the steps and had a compiled and working version within a couple minutes (after a compile error and fixing by installing libgtk2.0-dev).
