Ubuntu 9.10

[SudoPlatypus]

If you are running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and want to install these Mana World Development Tools:
Server & Official Client & also a ManaPlus client,
this guide shows how.
(for me it all installs correctly, but only when done in the order presented below)

Last successful build was Sunday, May 06 2012

Prerequisites for going beyond this point: You have backed up your system.
IUD (Insert Usual Disclaimers)

1. Install ManaPlus client
Reference:
https://launchpad.net/~akaras/+archive/manaplus-nightly

For installing ManaPlus nightly add these to Other Software:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/akaras/manaplus-nightly/ubuntu karmic main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/akaras/manaplus-nightly/ubuntu karmic main

Add these by going to System>Administration>Software Sources>Other Software

When done, close Software Sources and open Synaptic Package Manager and search for manaplus and install.

If you do not see it try this in terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

And go reopen Synaptic Package Manager and search for manaplus and install it along with the other software that Synaptic marks.




2. Install Server & Official Client

First we install all known dependencies.
*To be able to download following dependencies over the Internet (instead of using Repository DVDs) I needed the following:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-security main restricted universe multiverse

Add these by going to System>Administration>Software Sources>Other Software

You may also want to do this in terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Next use Synaptic to install these programs (you might need to reload the package information first):
Bison
Flex
cmake
git-core

Note: Using "search" and not "quick search" is recommended. And choose "mark" for additional required changes. When done installing, close Synaptic, because now we have to update git-core and will be using Update Manager in the process, and can not run Update Manager with Synaptic simultaneously in Ubuntu.

Now git-core needs to be updated

When installing most resent version of git-core in Ubuntu 9.10, ignore "Some index files failed to download", and remember to run Update Manager.

Open a terminal.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa

-then-

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

when done, please close terminal.
-then run Update Manager to install "git (New Install), "git-core", and "git-man (New Install)"-

MORE DEPENDENCIES
Open a terminal and copy and paste:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libguichan-dev libphysfs-dev libpng12-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev

This can take some time to complete downloading and installing.

In addition to the ManaPlus client it would be good to have the official client too. I place this step here because it does not seem to install, unless some of the previous dependencies we already installed above, are present.

Install Official Client version 0.6.1 mana source
-this can take some time-

This installs the official client and puts an icon (an orange "M" design with the text "Mana") on the Applications-Games menu (sometimes it can take a minute for it to appear, sometimes you may have to reboot for the icon to be there).

Tip: In the next part here if you see something like "E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_source_Sources - open (2: No such file or directory)", ignore it and keep going.

Open a terminal.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep mana git-core

Code: Select all

git clone git://github.com/mana/mana.git mana

Code: Select all

cd mana

Code: Select all

cmake .

Code: Select all

make

Code: Select all

sudo make install

That completes the installation of the official client.


For how to install a local server, see the guide at http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/How_to_Develop
[Note: I installed Make 3.82 first, then installed local server]
There is a step on the wiki that suggests installing Make 3.82.
For instructions on how to do this refer to:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo

For a source of where to get Make 3.82, I used: (make-3.82.tar.gz 28-Jul-2010 01:58 1.6M ) from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/

For ManaPlus installation on Ubuntu, you can also follow http://www.evolonline.org/ubuntu.html and/or http://manaplus.evolonline.org/ubuntu , they show an other way to install this client.

If you're running Ubuntu 9.10 I would highly recommend updating/upgrading to the latest or at least the LTS.

I would recommend stopping at 10.04 LTS. If you desire to upgrade beyond 10.04 then seek a new distro.

Baseballboy got a good point, as 9.10 (and even 10.10) is no more supported and won't get any new update. ^^'

To be fair, *any* Ubuntu release doesn't get updates - only future releases are eligible for updates.

....... Right. NO. For those who which to continue using a ubuntu platform I would suggest just either changing your windows manager or switching to Lubuntu if you have a K8 cpu since Lubuntu still supports it while ubuntu has dropped it. Lubuntu runs on like 58mb of ram so yeah it's my favorite. Ofcourse, I always use the Lubuntu 10.04 as a base and upgrade from there because the interface has gotten a bit frilly since they became a part of the ubuntu family.. Oh right off topic aren't I. lol See you two in game
