Cocos2d-x Installation On Linux by hardebayho(op): 7:38pm On Nov 12, 2017
Okay, so I wanted to install cocos2d on my bunsenlabs Linux (it's a debian derivative sha)... I downloaded the source code, uncompressed it, then went to the terminal to start compilation.

First, I used the install-deps.sh to download the dependencies. Then I also executed one python file to download external dependencies (like 150MB).

So I followed the procedures as described in the website and I hit(ed) several brick walls:

One opengl error.. Managed to fix that
Another fmod error.. Managed to fix that
Now the cemented wall is the one I don't know how to break..

Cannot find webp... Bla bla bla (you know all those useless cmake errors na.

Google couldn't help. So I'm thinking, if anyone here has one or two experiences with this cocos2d should share (No Windows is allowed ooo)

Totally didn't even notice the post was made in 2017. What was the alternative you opted for? I know it can't be Unity or Unreal cause they're heavier engines.
