Thanks for replying Auria. I have been watching for a reply for the last two days and was beginning to feel a bit left out... To answer your question. I have used CMake a couple of times but no, I am not all that familiar with it. In my research, I found that I need to also install, the Irrlicht Engine. Found it. Downloaded it. Another compiler nightmare. I am beginning to think that I am not destined to create tracks... *sigh*
I had even concidered running the Windows version of STK (... I am running with 32 bit Linux Mint 17.. sorry, I should have mentioned that earlier. My bad.) STK runs just fine (via Wine), but the editor, could not create the tracks. I do no beleive that the editor is at fault. I beleive it is a problem that "Windows" has trying to create files within a Linux system. It cannot write a track file because it cannot "see" the disk. imho.
The upside is, I have found heaps of tracks that others have created, and have been showing the grandkids what can be produced. Having lots of fun, but wishing I coud do more... I am not complaining about STK, by any means, I think it's great. I am just eager to create my own tracks. I am learning to use Blender so I can try my hand at creating karts as well. Lots to learn and play.
I hope that instructions can be produced soon, but in the meantime, I have some tracks to try out. Again, thanks for replying.
Regards
J
