So I took another stab at adding Steam to the Linux Template and was successful this time.
If you haven't already install AGK2 on Linux check out this post first:
https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/218161
Instructions for adding Steam to AGK2 Linux Template (Only tested on 64 bit system):
1> Boot into Linux and make sure Steam is running and you are logged into the account where you paid your Product Submission Fee.
2> Download the steam sdk and extract it into your template folder. It should add a folder called "sdk".
3> Edit MakeFile
Change:
INC = -I../../common/include -I../../common -I../interpreter -I../../bullet -I../../bullet/BulletCollision/CollisionShapes
To:
INC = -I./sdk/public/steam -I../../common/include -I../../common -I../interpreter -I../../bullet -I../../bullet/BulletCollision/CollisionShapes
Change:
# link the .o files
Executable: | $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(OBJS) -o build/LinuxApp$(ARCH) $(LDFLAGS) -Wl,-Bstatic -lAGKLinux -lglfw3 -Wl,-Bdynamic -lGL -lXt -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -lXinerama -lXcursor -lcurl -lopenal -ludev -ldl
To:
# link the .o files
Executable: | $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(OBJS) -L. -v -o build/LinuxApp$(ARCH) $(LDFLAGS) -Wl,-Bstatic -lAGKLinux -lglfw3 -Wl,-Bdynamic -lGL -lXt -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -lXinerama -lXcursor -lcurl -lopenal -ludev -ldl -lsteam_api
4>Create a new directory in the template directory named build.
5>Add "libsteam_api.so" in the template directory and template/build directory. It is located in "sdk\redistributable_bin\linux64"
6>Create a text file called "steam_appid.txt" and type your app id number. Save this file and place it also in: template/build
7> Create a text file called "LinuxApp64.sh" in the template/build and add the following text:
#!/bin/bash
#
# This is a script which runs the SteamworksExample in the Steam runtime
# The program location
TOP=$(cd "${0%/*}" && echo ${PWD})
PROGRAM="${TOP}/LinuxApp64"
# Steam sets this environment variable when launching games
if [ "$STEAM_RUNTIME" = "" ]; then
export STEAM_RUNTIME="${TOP}/../../tools/linux/runtime/i386"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${STEAM_RUNTIME}/lib/i386-linux-gnu:${STEAM_RUNTIME}/lib:${STEAM_RUNTIME}/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:${STEAM_RUNTIME}/usr/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
fi
# Add the current directory to the library path to pick up libsteam_api.so
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:."
exec "${PROGRAM}" "$@"
# vi: ts=4 sw=4 expandtab
8> open a terminal window in template/build directory and make LinuxApp64.sh executable with this command:
chmod +x LinuxApp64.sh
9>Edit template.c to the following:
// Includes
#include "template.h"
#include "steam_api.h"
#include <string>
// Namespace
using namespace AGK;
using namespace std;
app App;
bool bResult = false;
void app::Begin(void)
{
agk::SetVirtualResolution (1024, 768);
agk::SetClearColor( 151,170,204 ); // light blue
agk::SetSyncRate(60,0);
agk::SetScissor(0,0,0,0);
bResult = SteamAPI_Init();
}
int app::Loop (void)
{
if (bResult)
{
agk:
rint("Success...");
string sSteamName = SteamFriends()->GetPersonaName();
CSteamID steamId = SteamUser()->GetSteamID();
int iSteamID = steamId.GetAccountID();
agk:
rint(sSteamName.c_str());
agk:
rint(iSteamID);
}
else agk:
rint("Failed...");
agk::Sync();
return 0; // return 1 to close app
}
void app::End (void)
{
SteamAPI_Shutdown();
}
10> Now this altered Linux Template is a Steam Linux Template. After compiling the executable you must use "./LinuxApp64.sh" to launch it. The steam overlay will not show up when you start the program. From what I have read, it will show up if launched from steam properly. So this isn't a bug. But I haven't yet tested this.
Good Luck!
