#44 can't install on ubuntu-like distribution

Hello,

if you tell me the adjustments you made to the control file I could implement them for the next release.

Thanks and best regards,
Frank

#44 can't install on ubuntu-like distribution

I was trying to make a "deb-get" script for installing this program and ran into this same error.

It seems to happen because there are empty fields in the control file. I tried removing them and rebuilding the deb, then apt was able to install it without any problem.

I know it's possible to use dpkg to install local files, but it's better to use apt, because apt will automatically handle installing any dependencies, but dpkg won't.

#46 jGameBase Temp Folder

F. Gerbig — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 15:28:49 -0000

Hello,

jGameBase uses the default location of the operating system for temporary directories. In Java this is the property "java.io.tmpdir". So you can start jgb with a different temporary directory like

java -Dpolyglot.js.nashorn-compat=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=<PATH TO TEMPDIR> -jar jgamebase.jar

e.g.
java -Dpolyglot.js.nashorn-compat=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=/home/frank/Schreibtisch/TEMPTEST -jar jgamebase.jar

in the jGameBase directory.
Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Frank

Not a bug just wondering if there was away to change the folder files get extracted to on Mac. Currently its in the /var directory. Not really a problem unless you have to change disks with certain emulators then its either inaccessible through the emulators file manager or you have to navigate through multiple folders to find the file. I looked throughout the jGameBase files and didn't see anything except a file called global.ini which had a DIR section.

This is one example of where jgamebase extracts files on my Mac:

/var/folders/dt/ysnpr2_n6g57cq_7k1hc1d3h0000gn/T/com.apple.shortcuts.mac-helper/jgamebase_15282265965550156094

Like I said not a big deal just wondering. Keep up the great work.
