Installing multiple versions of LÖVE

This document explains how to set up multiple LÖVE installations. Make sure you have all dependencies for the versions of LÖVE you want to install.

Initial setup

Make a directory to install LÖVE source and binaries into.

mkdir $HOME/love/
cd $HOME/love/

Clone the source repository.

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/rude/love source
cd source

Install latest release

Check out version 0.9.2, or whatever the latest release is.

hg checkout 0.9.2

Run automagic.

./platform/unix/automagic

Run configure.

./configure

Install the latest release.

make install DESTDIR="$HOME/love/0.9.2" \
LDFLAGS="-R$HOME/love/0.9.2/usr/lib/"

Install development version

Check out latest revision.

hg update tip

Run automagic.

./platform/unix/automagic

Run configure.

./configure

Install the development version.

make install DESTDIR="$HOME/love/dev" \
LDFLAGS="-R$HOME/love/dev/usr/lib/"

Set up aliases

Edit $HOME/.bashrc and add an alias for each executable:

alias love="$HOME/love/0.9.2/usr/bin/love"
alias love_dev="$HOME/love/dev/usr/bin/love"

Save and close the file. Next time you log in, the aliases will be available. To enable them now, execute the bashrc file: source $HOME/.bashrc
