Ubuntu Repositories

[Amethyst]

The Ubuntu repositories still have 0.0.21.1, and 0.0.21.1 doesn't work with the current server. :/.

[Bjørn]

Version 0.0.21.1 should still work. If it doesn't, please report your problem.

For 0.0.22(.1), you'll have to either compile TMW yourself or be patient until the Ubuntu repositories are updated.

How do I compile? I forgot...

Btw, why don't you guys make a .deb package again, like I suggested earlier.

How to compile and run TMW on your GNU/Linux Box

2) Compiling The Mana World
3) Notes


1. Requirements
===============

You are expected to have either checked out TMW from CVS or you have downloaded
a source release. To get The Mana World to compile, you need a compiler (GCC)
and some libraries. The required libraries are:

* SDL http://www.libsdl.org/
* SDL_mixer http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
* SDL_image http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
* SDL_net http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/
* Guichan 0.5.0 http://guichan.sourceforge.net/
* libxml2 http://www.xmlsoft.org/
* physfs 1.0.x http://icculus.org/physfs/
* zlib 1.2.x http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
* libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/

If you checked TMW out from CVS you will also need these tools to compile:

* GNU automake 1.9 http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/
* GNU autoconf http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/

Installing these dependencies is distributions-specific, and we'll leave it to
you to figure this out.


2. Compiling And Installing The Mana World
==========================================

1) Go to the directory you have extracted the source to.
2) If you checked out from SVN, run "./autogen.sh" to generate configure.
3) Run "./configure"
4) Run "make"
5) Run "make install" as root

It should have installed The Mana World on your system now, and you can run it
with "tmw". By default all files are installed to /usr/local, you can pass a
different prefix to configure as usual.


NOTE: For those people with modern video cards and fast OpenGL performance,
we have been working on OpenGL support. At the moment there is no way to
switch between SDL and OpenGL dynamically and you need to do this at compile
time. To try this perform step 3 as follows:

"./configure --with-opengl"

Rebuild the executable from scratch using "make clean" and then "make".


3. Notes
========

If you have any problems, you are welcome to post your questions on our forums,
or talk about them in our IRC channel.

for the easiest way to get the dependencies on ubuntu.

[Bjørn]

Ah whoops, forgot to update that file to mention Guichan 0.6.0 instead of 0.5.0...

[Crush]

I guess sixpointnine tries to compile the latest official sourcecode release and not the latest svn version. In that case it won't work with guichan 0.5.0.

[DoomHammer]

Simpler way to get guichan is:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/guichan/

It works ok for my feisty...
