Help installing on Xubuntu?

Post by nuni7270 »

Hi everyone! I'm currently running Xubuntu 10.10 and I'm wondering how do I install the game on it. I know that I must compile and so on but I am not familiar with this OS. I am using my brother's laptop. I know how to open a terminal and how to use sudo but how do I tell it to install the game? I tried searching for it but I couldn't find anything about this. Thanks!

Try installing from your software center first. It is the easiest thing to do, but you will get an older version version (lol, even in 12.04 they still have 2.3.8 ...). If you seriously want to get the latest version (eg., for multiplayer, or if you encounter a bug), then yeah, compile as vexed said, this is usually as easy as

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep warzone2100
cd /where/you/unpacked/the/source/
./configure
make
./src/warzone2100

I managed to install the 3.1 beta but now I have another problem. When I ran the program I received this message on the terminal:
OpenGL 2.0 is not supported by your system. Some things may look wrong. Please upgrade your graphics driver/hardware, if possible.

Is it saying that I need OpenGL 2.0 or that I have it but it is obselete?

It means that your system might support it, but it currently doesn't, so you should try new drivers to see if it does.
What gfx hardware do you got anyway ?

I'm using my brother's laptop so I'm not too familiar with what he has installed. The computer has an ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M

It looks like they have support up to OpenGL 1.4 only.
