Hi
Have any of you been able to use the Hatari package?.
Some weeks ago I decided to try it but after install, it never did anything, nothing on screen after clicking its games menu icon so I gave up. I like apps that install an icon, I don't like to mess with CLI.
Today I decided to try again wondering why it didn't work as package is 2.2.0 and the latest one is 2.2.1 so someone cares about Hatari.
This time I read Hatari web manual, it said that a TOS.img should be there and it is there right after installation, it talked about SDL and ZLIB libraries and used tazpkg to look for libsdl and zlib, if any was missing, I installed them just to make sure. The manual also said something about the need of the -dev versions of those libraries so I installed libsdl-dev and zlib-dev too just in case.
After going to /usr/bin, I typed Hatari and the first error was that it was missing libsdl2 (not the libsdl I installed) so I installed libSDL2, then after typing Hatari again, another error libreadline.so.6 no such file or directory, I looked in tazpkg and there is a readline package installed, anyways, I gave up for the second time.
I don't understand why a so up to date maintained package doesn't work after tazpkg installs it, tazpkg look for dependencies too, correct? so why at least 2 missing libraries libSDL2 and libreadline aren't installed as missing dependencies by tazpkg?.
I don't believe that whoever maintains Hatari doesn't verify if it works after a common installation by tazpkg so in what moment a package gets broken or simply non working after its maintainer releases it to the repo?
I hope nothing is misunderstood as English isn't my own language and I try to explain my proble as good as I can.
Thanks for any help or some light over this problem.
Another general question: Is there a way of knowing which apps autoinstall an icon?
I wanted to try like 10 game category apps and only half or less installed an icon on the games menu.
By the way, ZSNES after you close the app its image can't be removed from screen.

offlineMemberDid anybody do anything?, I ask so because noone answered here and after starting this topic, I decided to download a Jessie Debian Hatari package 1.8.0 then I used tazpkg to convert that package then I installed it but the error was the same libreadline.so.6 then I uninstalled it and decided to install once more the one from your repo and this time Hatari worked clicking its icon (no need to CLI).
Now I took a second to look again into my packages inside tazpkg and now it says Hatari 2.2.0 but when I started this topic it said 2.0.0 that didn't work and my converted one 1.8.0 that didn't work too so don't know how that 2.0.0 installed in the first place and now a 2.2.0 was installed.
Anyway sorry for my topic, next time I'll try things 3 times before posting here sorry for everything and my deepest thank you to the Hatari 2.2.0 maintainer.Posted 5 years ago # -
