Welcome @NicolasVlhv

Hi! I have troubles running Cocos2d-x-3.17.2 linux default project.
I have done very carefully all installation steps required according to https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x.
MacOS, iOS and Android builds run fine.
I haven’t tried to run Windows yet…
If I try to run linux it fails every time.
Can you help me with this?

Did you go through our install doc?

Oh darn :woozy_face: Problem solved, thank you.

No problem. I’m a Linux user too so I test this every release and update.
