Settings aren't saved

  I recall there was a bug that caused settings to not be saved, but I think it has since been fixed.
  
  Doomsday 2 will build on Trusty, but not out of the box. it requires a couple of backported packages (Qt, GCC).
  
  Currently no prebuilt Doomsday binaries are available for Trusty.
  
  I believe your best option is to build Doomsday manually from source. Here are the required setup and commands that the Travis CI system uses for test builds:
  

  # Configuration for Travis CI
  language: cpp
  os: linux
  sudo: required
  dist: trusty
  cache: ccache
  
  before_install:
      - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zoogie/sdl2-snapshots -y
      - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt551-trusty -y
      - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y
      - sudo apt-get -qq update
      - if [ "$CXX" = "g++" ]; then sudo apt-get install -qq g++-4.9; fi
      - if [ "$CXX" = "g++" ]; then export CXX="g++-4.9" CC="gcc-4.9"; fi
      - sudo apt-get -y install cmake libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libxrandr-dev libxxf86vm-dev libfluidsynth-dev ncurses-dev 
      - sudo apt-get -y install qt55base qt55imageformats qt55x11extras
  
  before_script:
      - mkdir build-travis
  
  script:
      - source /opt/qt55/bin/qt55-env.sh
      - cd build-travis && cmake -DQMAKE=/opt/qt55/bin/qmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DDENG_ENABLE_TESTS=ON ../doomsday && make -j4
  

  
  A few things to note:

  • Qt 5.5 or later is required. I think the Qt that comes with Trusty is older than that.
  • Likewise, GCC 4.9 has good enough support for C++11 to compile Doomsday.
  • You'll want to use the option "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" when building for normal use. The DENG_ENABLE_TESTS is not needed.

  
  Good luck, and let me know if you need help with the build.
