Hello @Crowgirl!
First of all thanks for your help testing the alpha version for Linux 64bit (1.2.76)! I posted this in the original thread before I closed it, but it’s possible that no notice was sent out since the thread was closed.
… Since this alpha channel has been discontinued it is important that you synchronise your projects and move to the latest stable release (1.2.78) so you can continue to get updates and don’t risk losing any project data. There should be a download link available at the dashboard shortly and this thread will be locked to end the alpha testing period … (Linux 64bit support - ready for alpha testing!)
The reason you’re unable to open a project should be because you have an invalid XulRunner
[1]. An absolute path to the XulRunner shipped with Defold has to be configured in the configuration file Defold.ini
.
The script Defold-linux.sh
should be used to launch the editor on 64 bit Linux. That script will patch Defold.ini
with an absolute path to the editor and make minor changes to the environment to resolve potential compatibility issues for the eclipse version that editor 1 is based upon.
In case you’ve made any changes to Defold.ini
while trying to resolve the problem I would suggest that you first of all download a clean copy. Then could you try to launch the editor via Defold-linux.sh
? In case you’re still having problems, please ping me in (@jakob.pogulis) and I’ll look closer at the problem.
