Hello....

[DannyRyu01]

Hello, i use linux ubuntu 11.10 i do not get the tar ball thing i can not compile it, i was able to get 2.3.9 to get working but i fear i can not do that again, how do you compile it, and or can you change it to an easyer format?

[NoQ]

Code: Select all

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

(to be done in the directory where you unpacked the tarball)

[DannyRyu01]

so i get a new tarball and enter that into terminal and im done?
so like this?
1.get tarball (download folder)
2.open terminal
3.enter code
4.done?

1) You have to extract the tarball to a directory (like /home/[your user name]). What I do is extract it right in /Downloads then cut-paste into /home/[my username]

2) cd into that directory using the terminal.

3) sudo apt-get build-dep warzone2100

4) ./configure --prefix=/home/[your username]/warzone2100-2.3.9 (or ./configure --prefix=/home/[your username]/warzone2100-3.1 if you're using the 3.1 series)

5) make

6) sudo make install

7) Create a launcher. Point the launcher to the directory you were cd'd into plus the /bin folder (so that the command line reads /home/[your username]/warzone2100-2.3.9/bin/warzone2100 for the launcher). The icon for Warzone2100 can be found in /icons in the same warzone main folder. Adjust the command line for whether you use 2.3.9 or 3.1, of course.

Here's the documentation about getting warzone compiled from source. Link

Hope this helps.

a doubt, this can be done also in a virtual machine?

Is this what you're trying to do? This may or may not work and is somewhat untested..

Code: Select all

cd ~/Downloads
wget "http://sourceforge.net/projects/warzone2100/files/releases/2.3.9/warzone2100-2.3.9.tar.gz"
tar -xf warzone2100-2.3.9.tar.gz
cd warzone2100-2.3.9
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-distributor="Ubuntu Linux"
make
make install
