how to install wz2100 on linux?

[creatxr]

it must be "./configure" before,
it's the error while configuring
------------------------------------------------------
checking SDL/SDL_net.h usability... no
checking SDL/SDL_net.h presence... no
checking for SDL/SDL_net.h... no
configure: error: SDL_net header not found.
----------------------------------------------------------

Install libSDL_net and libSDL_net-devel.

Man, that's really complicated. Why can't you just use the "click Next a buncha times" install method, like on normal operating systems? o_O

That works if the game is in the repo. Installing from source is a bit more difficult, and we don't offer any distro-independent installers anymore (don't remember if there were any problems, or just nobody made them anymore).

I'm getting "couldn't find libSDL_net" and same for libSDL_net.devel
As a noob, I'm learning a whole lot just trying to get the latest wz2100 working my deb based distro! Don't know how to get this libSDL stuff though

Edit: OK, found libsdl_net1.2 and libsdl_net1.2-dev in my package mgr. The first was already installed. Installed the second. Not sure if these are the right items or not. (I'm on Mint8/Ubuntu9.10)

[stiv]

Installed the second.

As mentioned before, for every linux package 'foo', there is a foo-dev or foo-devel depending on the packaging system.

You need the foo-devel (or -dev) package to compile programs. This is the first thing to check when you get the stuff not found msgs.

Having problems here too.
Kubuntu 9.10, x64.

First I downloaded the source for 2.3 beta 3. I unzipped and tried to compile just to fund that ./configure wasn't a valid file or directory... wtf? :p
Then to try, I downloaded the source for 2.2.4. Well, there the ./configure workd, just to tell me:
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in "." "./.." "./../.."

Now, I don't know what to do next... and leaving for bed.


Oh, nevermind, looks like the package did not download correctly

Erm...

Nice little script(s) you can use.

[cybersphinx]

Nice little script(s) you can use.

Well, the first one is ok to compile (install not really, since it just uses the default), the second...

But I've noticed now that contrary to my earlier testing, the install process might be a lot easier (not sure if I did something wrong, or something else changed it, like new physfs version). So I'm looking for people to test the following.

Possibly better installation instructions:

• Download and extract the source, change into its dir (and run "./autogen.sh" if you use SVN)
• "./configure --prefix=$HOME/warzone-2.3beta4" (for example)
• "make -j3 && make install"
• "cd $HOME/bin" (should be in your path, if not check your distro's docs how to do that or use e.g. /usr/local/bin with sudo for the next command)
• "ln -s $HOME/warzone-2.3beta4/bin/warzone2100 ."
• "cd"
• "warzone2100"

That works here (up-to-date Debian unstable), didn't work the last time I tried it. The problems were a. with the symlink in ~/bin, the data wasn't found, so the game didn't start, and b. translations didn't work even when run from the right place. Now both work, but I'd like some confirmation from other/older distros before rewriting the wiki page.

I have problems with compilation too.
