Building on Linux broken?

[inf78]

I get the similar error as in #17

Tried on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I tested the 0.8.0 tarball and latest source as well.

Forgive me if this is painfully obvious, but does /home/inf/Downloads/openQ4-game/src/game exist, and do its permissions allow the build process to access it?

openQ4-game needs to go in the same directory as openQ4-main (i.e. /home/inf/Downloads), not inside openQ4-main itself.

It is obvious and so I went to the bug reports if anything doesn't show up and since one of the closed bugs had the same error, I created another report. Well, sorry for wasting your time! The directory didn't exist, because I didn't pull "openQ4-game" as well...
Builds fine now of course ;)

So I guess it can be closed (perhaps with a comment that ignorance is not a virtue :D )
