VDRIFT on Linux (How do you execute the game?) - quinnmartin - 04-05-2009

Hello there. I am currently running on Kubuntu 9.04 and have installed vdrift-2009-02-15. After reading on the forums how to compile it I have been struck with the question on how does one open the game?

See if you have a menu item for it (should be under games or something) and try run that. If that doesn't work, try running the executable from a terminal - try

Code:
vdrift

first to see if that works. If it doesn't, try the common places for executables -

Code:
/usr/bin/vdrift

/bin/vdrift

/usr/local/bin/vdrift

If that doesn't work, then you could try to search for it - not sure where else it would be, though.

Once you compile it, you can run "build/vdrift" from the same location that you did the compile. That's how I like to run it.
