Linux-howto

From DoonLunacy

This is just an initial version of Howto concerning compiling and running dunelegacy under linux. Ok, so what do you need? Two things

• The modified Dune 2 data (you can get it from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IBIVBXCD or http://shutdownrunner.tivi.net.pl/dunelegacy-data.zip)

 * (If anyone knows a better place to store it with less ads please give us a link to it)

• Dunelegacy source code from Subversion.

If you have subversion type the following command

svn co https://dunelegacy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dunelegacy/trunk dunelegacy

• On Ubuntu, you might need to install SVN:

sudo aptitude install subversion

So how do I compile it? (Note:This howto is meant for people who know what a compiler is. if you get many errors with -o something make sure you have a compiler e.g. execute

$g++ -v

in command line. If you get

bash: g++ -v: command not found

then you don't have any compiler installed.Install it e.g. sudo apt-get install g++)

• Untar the modified dune 2 data in dunelegacy folder
• Ensure that you have everything required to build installed:
• On debian/ubuntu you need the following packages:
  • libzzip-dev
  • libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
  • libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
  • libsdl-net1.2-dev
  • libsdl-image1.2-dev
  • libsdl-gfx1.2-dev
  • libboost-dev
  • libboost-signals-dev
  • libboost-filesystem-dev
  • scons
• As a single command:

sudo aptitude install libzzip-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libboost-dev libboost-signals-dev libboost-filesystem-dev scons

• for Mandriva do:
  • 'urpmi SDL-devel zzip-devel SDL_mixer-devel SDL_ttf-devel SDL_net-devel SDL_image-devel boost-signals-devel boost-filesystem-devel'
• Type "scons" in the main dir (you need scons package to compile the game now)
• And of course ./dunelegacy
• If it doesn't work ask somebody in #dunelegacy at irc.freenode.net or paste your error to some pastebin and put a link on this page.
• Or even better if you don't get a response on irc, try posting to the mailing list as it's easier for people to follow things there..
