help installing [Linux]

[proudhon]

I'm using Linux Mint 9, I did everything from http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/LinuxCompileGuide but when I run "make install" I get this.

Code: Select all

Are you logged in as root? You need to be root to write to the /opt/ directory. To log in as root, type "su". (I haven't ever tried "make install" myself, so I don't know whether anything else could be the problem.)

Note that after "make", you can run the game by typing "src/warzone2100", without doing "make install".

[NoQ]

Yeah, i never use "make install", since it's easily allowing to have multiple versions at the same time (though it's possible with installing too, but i'm not sure if menu shortcuts will work correctly anyway)

Thanks.
