AGS Linux 2.7 Binaries Available

AGS for Linux doesn't support aRts. It only supports OSS. Additionally, you need the contents of the http://drevil.warpcore.org/ags/files/midiptch.tar.bz2 extracted to any game directory you run ags from. As far as the XML library, no idea. Also, AGS for Linux is only made to run on 32-bit systems.

Why can I choose aRTs from the drop-down list if it isn't supported? Does the list auto-acquire all sound-systems? Then a little indication of the supported options, or removing the unsupported ones would be good. I'll try the OSS compatability system that Alsa provides. I have the midi-patch, BTW, but it still doesn't work

Because I can no longer recompile the ags-setup program so that it won't include the aRts option I used to include aRts support, but it caused too many problems for people that didn't have aRts or that did but caused crashes because AGS is statically linked. Updating the ags-setup program to not include this option is rather time consuming, and since that's one of the few things wrong with it, I haven't bothered. You will need to use Alsa's OSS compatability module. My system doesn't have ALSA or aRts on it, so I can't build ags with support for it. I am considering moving to a newer Linux distribution as mine is esentially RedHat Linux 9 for compatability purposes.
