I have x11 installed (but not x-code) I would really like to play this game, but I don’t know how to install it.

Game: http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/ftp/xbl/xbl.html

It is a fantastic tetris-clone in 3D

Kind regards

Hmm.. I've seen that game as a native Mac game once, in the eighties. Called Citris, I think.

Anyway, you need to have a compiler installed - Xcode or Developer Tools if you have an older version of the OS. Once you have that, download the source from that page, decompress it and walk to that directory in the Terminal. Type the following:

./configure
make
sudo make install

I'm getting a few warnings during compile, but it seems to work.

Hi again

Hmmm I am not so good at this terminal thing........ the ./configure commad worked fine, but when i type make I am getting this error;

make: *** No rule to make target `bl.c', needed by `bl.o'. Stop.

Anyone??

Thnx hauge

yikes

that kind of thing can be tough to solve. I'd look for a mailing list for that game and check the archives.

also try dropping the whole error message into google.

I compiled it fine. You can download the game.
Unzip the file, and launch from your X11 xterm by typing
cd Desktop/
(or whatever folder you downloaded into)
then
./bl

It seems to work fine, though I didn't test it much.
enjoy!

Thnx all, I am now playing ;-)
