Hi everybody, hope you started your day wonderfully (is that english?)!
This morning while I am working on my little Mindwave game I wanted to use TexturePacker on OpenSuse but as it comes as a .deb and since I did not want to convert the .deb to a .rpm using Alien and preferred to know what was going to be installed, I did it by hand.
So here a simple how-to in case you want to do it too :
Download the Ubuntu 64bit version (2.40) there.
open the .deb
uncompress data.tar.gz
copy the contents of subdir usr/lib in /usr/lib64
copy the executable located under usr/bin in the folder you wish to install TexturePacker to
chmod +x TexturePacker
make a script to start it with the following command : ./TexturePacker --gui
That's it! Then you can buy a license to use it or use the free essential mode.
Note : TexturePacker is not upgraded anymore on Linux since its 2.40 version but it can be used nonetheless with Haxe/NME using Philippe Elsass tilelayer lib using sparrow tilesheets so that's not really a problem for us Linux Haxe devs :)
