Installation of required packages in Debian-based systems:
For Alt Education 9.1
apt-get install i586-libgtk+2-devel.32bit
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver / Linux Mint 19.X:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0:i386 gtk2-engines:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gnome-themes-extra:i386
Linux Mint 20 has no package 'gnome-themes-extra:i386', it can be safly ignored. There will be warning in console.
Debian 9.X GNOME/Xfce/KDE

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0:i386 gtk2-engines:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 libatk-adaptor:i386 libgail-common:i386 gnome-themes-standard:i386
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS i386:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 gtk2-engines gtk2-engines-murrine libcanberra-gtk-module gnome-icon-theme-full
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS amd64:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 gtk2-engines:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gnome-icon-theme-full
Arch-based systems amd64:
sudo pacman -S multilib/lib32-gtk2
In OpenBSD use 'wxallowed' flag in mount options for the partition to start BlackBox from.
To build BlackBox:
cd BlackBox
./switch-target `uname -s` GUI
./build
To run BlackBox (after build):
./run-BlackBox
for Linux version also you can run
./blackbox
To create BlackBox framework assembly (after build):
./export <outputDirectory>
To clean the BlackBox folder:
./switch-target none
./clean
Example: build, create framework assembly and run BlackBox from it:
cd BlackBox
./switch-target `uname -s` GUI
./build
./export ../`uname -s`_GUI
./switch-target none
./clean
cd ../`uname -s`_GUI
./run-BlackBox
