Compiling .3 beta on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

[<(@_o)>]

I just downloaded the beta for Linux ( in zip format )and I was having trouble compiling it myself because I am new at Ubuntu and I would like to know a way to compile it in the simplest way possible

you could try this, it works on ubuntu 7.10 for me:
If anyone sees a mistake, feel free to correct me

if you want to grab the latest build using bazaar, you will need to update your sources..
ubuntu by default uses bzr 0.9. Arma bzr needs >=1.0
Add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ubuntu hardy main

then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

grab some dependancies, make sure universe repos are enabled in your sources.list

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bzr build-essential automake libboost-dev libxml2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev ftgl-dev libglew-dev bison pkg-config 

Checkout the latest 0.3 build from bazaar..

Code: Select all

bzr checkout http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~armagetronad-dev/armagetronad/trunk-armagetronad-work 
cd trunk-armagetronad-work

then compile...

Code: Select all

./bootstrap.sh 
./configure
make 
sudo make install

[epsy]

Code: Select all

bzr checkout lp:armagetronad

works as well

plus i doubt you will need libboost, or SDL for a dedicated server

Who said it was for dedicated server? These instructions are for client.
For server you will also need to add --disable-glout to the ./configure

er, right, i somewhat thought he wanted to build a dedicated

Also as a side note you can use --enable-dedicated on a recent 0.2.8 tree

I am running ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I tried installing the trunk from source as ed has described above. However when I do

Code: Select all

sudo make install

it gives me the following error:

Code: Select all

When I started again from

Code: Select all

./bootstrap.sh

I saw

Code: Select all

./configure

gave me a warning about modifying files outside of usr/local/ so I reran configure with --disable-etc as suggested by the warning but it didn't fix the problem.

[Z-Man]

Yeah yeah yeah I'll fix that. The uninstall script generator needs to be adapted to latest automake. Pass --disable-uninstall (I think) to configure as a workaround.

[Lackadaisical]

Thanks, passing --disable-uninstall helped.
