Updating Warzone 2100 to its latest...?

[BravoI]

I'm a Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) user and i downloaded WZ2100 from the repository... But now i find that its not the latest version. I downloaded the latest version from this website and now i'm yet struggling to find the installation setup file. How do i install this latest version?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep warzone2100
./configure
make
sudo make install

These commands must be called from within the directory where you unpacked the source. use "cd" command to get there. Post specific issues when you encounter any, with full console output.

Nooo! The easiest way to build it is in my signature (build it for ubuntu)!

That way you can uninstall it like the old version, and when you install it, it will upgrade the old one's files and create a Menu entry if needed.

Right.

Not sure if that still works for current master though.

Code: Select all

sudo make install

Wrong.

I'm going to try to compile and install master tonight. Any compatibility issues having both simultaneously?

In .debs, they'll have conflicting files. If you put at least one into its own folder via ./configure --prefix there should be no problems.

So that wouldn't be using dpkg then?

EDIT: Now that I've read I little more, would I have to run

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/home/user/warzone

before dpkg?

Hmm, i never did it myself anyway, but why wrong? You mean one should rather build packages, or something else?

[NRoach44]

I think he's referring to the sudo, and that you haven't declared a prefix, like in my post above.

I see. Anyway, i usually just run the game from the folder it was compiled at, without ever installing.

[BravoI]

Nope it doesnt work. I went here like you said http://nroach.co.cc/blog/2010/12/build- ... or-ubuntu/ but couldnt comment since the comments were off. I got an error though when i entered this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b

and this was the output it gave me:

Code: Select all

dpkg-buildpackage: set CFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set CPPFLAGS to default value: 
dpkg-buildpackage: set LDFLAGS to default value: -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions
dpkg-buildpackage: set FFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set CXXFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
tail: cannot open `debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: error: tail of debian/changelog gave error exit status 1

Theres an error so now what do i do?

Hi and thanks everyone for all your help! I finally installed it by going to first here: http://guide.wz2100.net/gettingstarted and second here: http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/CompileGuideLinux Its working! Thanks again!

Just so i know whats wrong, goto the folder you downloaded it into, and see if there is a folder called debian.
