iCup 2014 Brazil for Linux (installation how to)

Last updated: 13 june 2014

Since I can't test all possible Linux distros and versions, please contribute in adding info for missing distributions by contacting me at the address .

GENERAL LINUX INFO:

The supported Linux platform are:
- Linux Mint 16 or later
- Ubuntu 10.04 or later
- Debian 6.0 or later
- OpenSUSE 11.3 or later
- Fedora 13 Desktop or later
- CentOS 6.0 or later

but other similar distro could also works.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFO:

• Be sure to use latest version (v1.3 or later includes a bug fix when using non English region format setting, like Bulgarian, on 64-bit system)
  
• extract the archive and copy the resulting folder into your preferred location
• open the above folder and right click the executable ‘iCup 2014 FREE - Brazil’ and select Properties… (from the menu) -> Permission -> check the 'Allow executing file as a program'
• double-click the executable
• If nothing happens (or audio don’t work) your system needs some extra libraries

Generally speaking the required libs are:
libgtk2, libstdc++6
and for audio mp3 playback
libgstreamer, gstreamer-plugins-ugly, gstreamer-pulseaudio, gstreamer-alsa

The app is 32-bit only, but you can still run it on 64-bit system with the appropriate compatibility libraries.
