iCup EURO 2016 for Linux (installation how-to)

Last updated: 7 march 2016

Since I can't test all possible Linux distros and versions, you can contribute in adding info for missing distributions or in solving current 64 bit issues by contacting me at the address .

GENERAL LINUX INFO:

The supported Linux platforms 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 distros could also works.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFO:

• Be sure to use latest version o the App
  
• extract the archive and copy the resulting folder into your preferred location
• open the above folder and right click the executable ‘iCup EURO 2016 FREE’ and select Properties… (from the menu) -> Permission -> check the 'Allow executing file as a program' or set permission to 755
• double-click the executable
• If nothing happens (or app open but audio/video don’t works) your system needs some extra libraries

The required libs are:
libgtk2, libstdc++6

for embedded web viewer:
libwebkit

and for video and audio playback:
gstreamer-libav, libgstreamer, gstreamer-plugins-(good,bad,ugly)

All info below are tested on a fresh default installation.

Debian:

• Debian 8.3 32 bit
  App should open, audio video works so you only need:
  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
  
  

• Debian 8.3 64 bit
  Add i386 architecture:
  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
  sudo apt-get update
  
  install required 32 bit libs that allow app execution:
  sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386
  
  to enable web viewer:
  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386
  
  to enable video playback:
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav:i386
  
  finally to enable anthems and effects playback:
  (use 0.10 version of gstreamer since 1.0 seems not compatible)
  sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386 libcdaudio1:i386 libgme0:i386 libkate1:i386 libmimic0:i386 libmodplug1:i386 libofa0:i386 libslv2-9:i386 libzbar0:i386
  
  TODO:
  at this point libs are ok, audio buttons highlights but no audio come from the app ?!
  You can get audio works by removing libgstreamer1.0*:i386 gstreamer1.0-plugins*:i386 but this also remove libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386 for dependency so you got audio but embedded webviewer will not works anymore!
  
  
  

Ubuntu:

• Ubuntu 15.10 32 bit
  App should open otherwise install these:
  sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libstdc++6
  
  to enable web viewer:
  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
  
  to enable video playback:
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav
  
  to enable audio playback:
  (use 0.10 version of gstreamer since 1.0 seems not compatible)
  sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0 gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
  
  

• Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit
  Add i386 architecture:
  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
  sudo apt-get update
  
  install required 32 bit libs that allow app execution:
  sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386
  
  to enable web viewer:
  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386
  
  to video playback:
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav:i386
  
  to enable audio playback:
  (use 0.10 version of gstreamer since 1.0 seems not compatible)
  sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly:i386
  
  TODO:

  You can get audio works by removing libgstreamer1.0*:i386 gstreamer1.0-plugins*:i386 but this also remove libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386 for dependency so you got audio but embedded webviewer will not works anymore!
  
  
  

Mint:

• Linux Mint 17.3 32bit
  No special installation needed, iCup works out of the box.
  

• Linux Mint 17.3 64bit
  Add i386 architecture:
  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
  sudo apt-get update
  
  install required 32 bit libs that allow app execution:
  sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386
  
  to enable web viewer:
  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386
  
  but there is a dependency error with libenchant1c2a:i386 !?
  It seems that to install libwebkit1.0 (32bit) the only way is to manually edit and install a modified version of libenchant1c24:i386 package (you need to download libenchant1c2a_1.6.0-10ubuntu1_i386.deb, modify its dependecies and install the modified version as described here)
  
  sudo dpkg -i libenchant1c2a_1.6.0-10ubuntu1_i386.modfied.deb
  
  after this, libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386 install with no problem and web viewer works
  to enable video playback:
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav:i386 libavcodec54:i386 libopus0:i386
  
  but you still get a missing plugin message in web viewer and video don't works.
  As termporary walkaround you can install Chromium and set it as default browser, redirecting to it the media content of the iCup app:
  sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
  
  to enable audio playback:
  (use 0.10 version of gstreamer since 1.0 seems not compatible)
  sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly:i386
  TODO:

  You can get audio works by removing libgstreamer1.0*:i386 gstreamer1.0-plugins*:i386 but this also remove libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386 for dependency so you got audio but embedded webviewer will not works anymore!
  
  
  

elementary OS:

• elementary OS 0.3.2 32 bit
  App should open, but to enable all features some packages are required:
  sudo apt-get update
  
  to enable web viewer:
  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
  
  to enable video playback:
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav
  
  to enable audio playback:
  sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
  
  
  
• elementary OS 0.3.2 64 bit
  Add i386 architecture:
  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
  sudo apt-get update
  
  install required 32 bit libs that allow app execution:
  sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386
  
  to enable web viewer:
  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386
  
  but there is a dependency error with libenchant1c2a:i386 !?
  -> procede as Linux Mint
  
  

Fedora:

• Fedora 23/22 32 bit (for 21 replace dnf with yum)
  App should open, but need webkitgtk for web viewer:
  sudo dnf install webkitgtk
  
  to enable video and audio playback you need to add a repository:
  su -c 'dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'
  
  to enable video playback:
  sudo dnf install gstreamer1-libav
  
  to enable audio playback:
  sudo dnf install gstreamer gstreamer-plugins-bad
  
  
  
• Fedora 23 64 bit (for 21 replace dnf with yum)
  App should't open so install these:
  sudo dnf update
  sudo dnf install gtk2.i686 libstdc++.i686
  
  need webkitgtk for web viewer:
  sudo dnf install webkitgtk.i686
  
  to enable video and audio playback you need to add a repository:
  su -c 'dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'
  
  video:
  sudo dnf install gstreamer1-libav.i686
  
  but you still get a missing plugin message in web viewer and video don't works.
  As termporary walkaround you can install Chrome with this guide and set it as default browser, redirecting to it the media content of the iCup app:
  
  to enable audio playback:
  sudo dnf install gstreamer-plugins-good.i686 gstreamer-plugins-bad.i686
  
  but audio still not works!?
  
  
  

OpenSUSE LEAP:

• OpenSUSE LEAP 42.1 64 bit
  App should't open so install these:
  sudo zypper install gtk2-tools-32bit libstdc++6-32bit libgthread-2_0-0-32bit
  
  to enable web viewer:
  sudo zypper install libwebkitgtk-1_0-0-32bit
  
  but you still get a missing plugin message in web viewer and video don't works.
  
  to enable video playback:
  ???
  
  to enable audio playback:
  ???
  
  
  

CentOS:

• CentOs 6.5 32 bit
  App should open, but to enable audio playback you need to add a repository to get mp3 audi libs:
  sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm
  
  and to enable audio playback:
  sudo yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly
  
  
• CentOs 6.5 64 bit
  App should't open so install these:
  sudo yum install libstdc++.i686 libstdc++ gtk2.i686 gtk2
  
  and to enable audio playback
