Fetching Scumm Standalone 2.8.1 from ____?

duglor

Hello.
Is there a way i can fetch and install Scumm standalone 2.8.1 from somewhere and have the binary install or source install?

i'm having issues with 2.9.0 and such...higher.

Just looking for a link to fetch and install the binary or source of standalone 2.8.1.

You can get the source from https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.8.1/, there are also binaries in that folder, though not for RPI if that's your target.

@mitu
When you update. emulators on the retropie..you know how it will let you choose to build from latest binary or source...

are you saying that if i uninstall what i have for my scummvm..removal option...i can then go to this site and build a version from the source?

How would i go about doing this?

using the get command? etc? mighty lost here.

It would be nice if i could just uninstall what i have and then log- in to some site that could automatically download and compile the 2.8.1 binary for me.

Yes.

You'll have to manually build it as explained in the ScummVM Wiki, skipping the dependencies part since they are already installed by RetroPie.
Alternatively you can modify the scummvm.sh module in RetroPie-Setup sources and change the version for the source installation.

That would be super convenient, though I think what you're actually looking for is a Windows system, where this kinds of 'compile from source' options are not needed.
