How can i install and old version in linux

Post by lucked »

So i am trying to install love version 0.9.0 on linux but i don't know how it tells me that :
* love : Depends: liblove (= 0.9.0) but it is not installable
then when i try to install liblove i get :
* liblove : PreDepends: multiarch-support but it is not installable
Depends: libsdl2 (>= 2.0.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libmng1 but it is not installable

multiarch-support is not installable? SDL 2 is not installable? :?

What distribution is that?

Probably Ubuntu with their broken package resolution.

Try to compile from source.

I mean, if SDL2 can't be installed, there's no hope to make Löve compile, not even from source. Unless every dependency is installed from source, that is, which is much more painful.

I'm in an old Debian system (oldstable) and have SDL2 installed, and of course multiarch-support as well. I've compiled Löve from source using the system-provided packages.
