Title: Windows exe works. But Linux exe is only 1 KB? Is it going to work??

???
Hi my Friends. I've just arrived to AGS Forums. I'm not an expert at all.
I'd like to build an exe of my new game for playing it in Linux. However, in the Linux new folder there are a folder (data) full of empty folders (lib32, lib 64, licenses) and the CFG, VOX, AGS extensions. There also is another element, which is supposed to be the exe one...and it weighs 1 KB!
Is going to work this stuff? How we build exe's for Linux?
Thank you very much!

Could you tell which version of AGS do you use?
In the past we had a bug when Linux files was not copied to the compiled folder properly if the AGS itself is installed on C:/Program Files.

E: Regarding file size. The file with the name of your game is just a launch script (you can open it with text editor), and is supposed to be very small. It calls real exe file inside "data" called ags32 or ags64, depending on Linux type.

I'm using the 3.4.0 version of AGS.
Thank you very much.

The latest patch to 3.4.0 (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54631.0) should have this problem fixed.

If this still does not work, you may try one of the following:
1) Install AGS on other disk (like D).
2) Copy files from Linux folder in the Editor's location to Compiled/Linux/data yourself.
