Hi again. On Sparky Linux, I can start Defold, load a sample project, do some lite editing. but building a project or changing collections in editor causes defold to suddenly close. Suggestions? In task manager it terminates when closes.
Thanks JB
EDIT:<<<<< I added the error log file I found when I ran it in terminal.

Since your log refers to “ffi”, you can try this tip from our FAQ

I tried these fixes:
Q: The Defold editor crashes when opening a collection or game object and the crash refers to libffi.so
A: The libffi version of your distribution and the one required by Defold (version 6 or 7) does not match. Make sure libffi.so.6
or libffi.so.7
is installed under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
. You can download libffi.so.7
like this:
$ wget http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libf/libffi/libffi7_3.3-6_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libffi7_3.3-6_amd64.deb
Next you specify the path to this version in the LD_PRELOAD
environment variable when running Defold:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.7 ./Defold
I had same result.
Ok I got it working.
I did these same steps again- but as root from the defold folder. Now I can build, run, and change collections.
I don’t know why this worked when done from the defold directory versus just the terminal.
