Linux version (sort of) posted

UPDATE FROM THE SCRATCH TEAM:

A linux installer has been posted at http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Linux_Installer
------------------


I posted a tarball of Scratch at www.tcpdpodcast/scratch.html for Linux users.  The install is very simple and you can run Scratch from the Terminal or build a launcher for it.  Except for Presentation Mode, pretty much everything else works.  I'm running SUSE 10 which, imho, is the pickiest distro, so it should work on most versions on Linux.  (I'm running GNOME, so KDE folks need to tell me if it works for them.)

Re: Linux version (sort of) posted

Many thanks for packaging the Scratch program.

We use your Linux-Scratch package for teaching kids programming at Byteworks http://www.bworks.org/byteworks/index.html

I created an "Installer" script which unzips your package to the user's HOME directory, and creates the shell script to run Scratch.  It also creates a Desktop icon on the user's desktop, with the Scratch kitty as the icon  smile

If anyone wants to use it, it's available for download here:
http://www.notesmine.com/scratch_installer (Instructions are on the download page, they're fairly simple)

Please contact me at tookelso@yahoo.com with any bugs/suggestions.

Would it work in Sugar? You know, the One Laptop per Child computer's OS? It's Linux. I just got one for Christmas via the Give One, Get One program.

We just got an XO computer also through the Give-One-Get-One program.  Scratch would be a very welcome addition to the machine.

Can we run scratch in XO? (OLTP) in design mode or in run mode? I did not see a response.

Re: Linux version (sort of) posted

Does anyone know if it would be possible to install and run Scratch on a Nokia n810 tablet? I really know very little about linux, other than there seems to be many different "flavors"  wink

Re: Linux version (sort of) posted

There's currently an alpha Ubuntu package of Scratch 1.3.1 available on our wiki page.

http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Linux_installer

As you can see from the Known issues, there are some bugs.  As soon as Scratch 1.4 is released for Windows and Mac, we'll start working on the 1.4 package for Ubuntu. Once it is finished, it will be available on the page linked to above.

Help Scratchers make the leap to 2.0!

Re: Linux version (sort of) posted

So far so good running Scratch on my Debian box.  Will have to check out the Windows port when it's available.

Re: Linux version (sort of) posted

Will there soon be a PowerPC compatible version of Scratch for Linux?  I'm running Ubuntu on my mac the i386 program won't work on it, and I don't want to have to reboot to OS X if I want to work in Scratch.
