Title: TIP: Tiles crashes on startup, console works fine, Linux x64
Post by: motadol on September 17, 2019, 20:09
When I tried to run ./doomrl, the "Valkyrie SDL Application" window opened but is blank and the console said:

Code: [Select]
Abnormal program termination!

Reason : Access violation

This was completely unhelpful. Eventually I realized that I was missing a necessary library. On Ubuntu 19.04, I needed to install the following:

Code: [Select]
$ sudo apt install libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl1.2debian libsmpeg0 lua5.1 timidity libpng16-16
In my case, it was libsdl-image1.2 that was missing.

Hope this helps!
