Unable to get preview work - gltut demos

Question

https://bitbucket.org/alfonse/gltut/downloads

this is the repository for several tutorials in this online book

http://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut

the author uses premake as an alternative to cmake, and I tried all possible command line options, but nothing works.

I don’t understand why the author wants to use the last tool on earth, but I need to solve this problem, and I don’t even have a clue about Lua and this tool.

For those who want to help me, you need to download this to actually create demos and put them in the root folder of your gltut project.

Mercury Repository URL

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/alfonse/gltut 

My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.

Answer 1

I just noticed that the preliminary version that comes with Ubuntu 12.04 is 3.7, just download the new version from the 4.x branch, and the problem is resolved.
