FLARE [ARCHIVED]

Too many symbolic links.

I started afresh (was thinking the wandercall assets are in FLARE but understood later they are not :( )

Anyways, I tried to follow your instructions at https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-game

Specifically :-

Option 2 Run the game without installing:

ln -s flare ../flare-game/flare
ln -s mods/default ../flare-game/mods/default
cd ../flare-game ./flare --game=flare-game

I tried to do the same and I did.

~/games/flare-engine$ ln -s flare ../flare-game/flare

     ~/games/flare-engine$ ln -s mods/default ../flare-game/mods/default

      ~/games/flare-engine$ cd ../flare-game/

       ~/games/flare-game$ ./flare --game=flare-game
        bash: ./flare: Too many levels of symbolic links

Anybody knows what I did wrong ? I could manually copy the flare compiled binary and all the sub-directories under default but don't know what I did wrong.

The linking as described in option 2 doesn't work, I can confirm this.

I've sent a pull request to correct the instructions there
