can anyone that is very good at compiling tell me how to compile TMW on linux please. Thanks to anyone who replies or PMs me!

First of all, you need to ensure you have all the dependencies (the dev/devel packages as well as the standard). They are:

SDL
SDL_image
SDL_mixer
Guichan
libxml2
PhysFS
libcurl
zlib

(There may be others for 0.1)

When you are sure you've got all of them installed, go into the top directory of the client download, and type:

./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

When that is done, assuming no errors, you need to type

su -c "make install"

and then type the root password.

You should now have a fully installed client.

Make sure you have the right version of those dependencies as well: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Dependencies.

Im running fedora also

The page I linked to provides specific instructions for compiling under Fedora Core 6, though they may be a little out of date.

One other thing, if you have Guichan 0.7 installed, you'll have to uninstall it first, as TMW needs v. 0.8.1

That depends on which version you're compiling. If you're compiling the 0.0.x branch (the current release version), you need 0.7(.1). If you're compiling the svn version (0.1), you need 0.8(.1).

With multiple versions of libraries side by side, those become handy.

I've posted the a HOWTO in THIS forum as a sticky thread. Incredible the people can't see it.

That's a bit inaccurate. From Subversion, both the 0.0 branch and trunk need Guichan 0.8.1. Only when you download our source release (0.0.24.1), you need Guichan 0.7.1.
