configure: error: Bison is not installed

Install bison.

Linux packages come in two parts. For any package 'foo', there is the basic 'foo' that provides the libraries needed to run a program. To compile that program, you also need the 'foo-devel' package that contains the header files. Depending on your distro, the header package may be called 'foo-dev'. In either case, you need both parts.

See also LinuxCompileGuide.

I 've downloaded and installed many "foo" packages.
Now I 've problem with "configure: error: PhysicsFS header not found."
I've downloaded "physfs-2.0.0.tar.gz" and unzip and add to "$PATH".
but it has still the problem.
where to place it or export a variant?

Did you actually compile and install physfs or just untar it?

now I found that it must use "cmake".
I tried using "cmake" to compile it.
-----
"CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name."
-----
but I found that there is "gcc" in "/usr/bin".
What library does it require? glibcxx?

Do you have g++ installed? (the C++ compiler)

And doesn't Ubuntu have a package for physfs? (dont' forget the -dev package!)

After a little research - the new 2.0 version of physfs uses cmake. you probably want the 1.0 version which uses the old autoconf (./configure) stuff.

thanks .
I didn't success make "physfs", but i install by package manager now.
I've another problem:
configure: error: SDL OpenGL header not found. Please install SDL with OpenGL support.

which package i need?
I've installed "libsage2" and "libsage-dev" which "supports OpenGL in SDL applications" by package manager.

"procedure for Debian-based systems" on the LinuxCompileGuide in the wiki will take care of everything you need for Ubuntu 9.10.

Can you link me to this wiki? Brand new to Warzone and I'm a bit confused as to where to find info. Kind of thought detailed install instructions would be in the user guide but I guess not.
I am using a deb based system and even the version at playdeb.net is 2.2.2 rather than 2.2.4 (at least, 2.2.2 is what I ended up with)
So I don't know how to get to 2.2.4 on my Mint8 without doing some kind of compile (which I've never done before!)

What's wrong with the install instructions on the user guide? See http://guide.wz2100.net/gettingstarted#linux

You use "make install".

What's wrong with that? We haven't switched over to cmake or anything yet, have we?

but i found that it is here :
