Installing Armagetron on Debian

[dukevin]

Blah, I lost my current installation with a vps wipe .. which someone else installed Armagetron for me.
I'm trying to reinstall it, but am hitting a few roadblocks.

I'm reading following the tutorial here

For this tutorial we will use the 0.2.8-armagetronad-ct+sty branch CD into /home/

cd /home/

download the source files

Code: Select all

bzr branch lp:~armagetronad-ct/armagetronad/0.2.8-armagetronad-sty+ct

once the source if finished downloading to the server CD to the branch

Code: Select all

cd /home/0.2.8-armagetronad-sty+ct

now run the bootstrap

Code: Select all

./bootstrap.sh

Now configure the server. You can look up more options for configuration with ./configure --help. But we will configure the server to be, this way

Code: Select all

./configure --disable-glout --enable-authentication --prefix=/home/armagetronad --exec_prefix=/home/armagetronad

once that is configured execute the following command.

Code: Select all

sudo make install

Now your server has been installed in /home/armagetronad/bin

When I get to the 3rd step, running the bootstrap with ./bootstrap.sh
It says,

Code: Select all

Generating version...
Copying license...
Running aclocal...
./bootstrap.sh: line 14: aclocal: command not found
rm: cannot remove `aclocal.m4': No such file or directory

Assuming it worked fine, I continue to the next step, ./configure with flags, but it says no such file as ./configure. I see a configure.ac but that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

You're missing the dependencies. That doc is for Ubuntu, but debian is similar enough.

[dukevin]

No luck.

Using this:

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 autoconf autotools-dev libprotobuf-dev

I get this output (can't find package libprotobuf-dev)

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
bzr is already the newest version.
Note, selecting libglew1.5-dev instead of libglew-dev
E: Couldn't find package libprotobuf-dev

Ignoring that and continuing with

Code: Select all

bzr co lp:armagetronad 
cd armagetronad
./bootstrap.sh 

It says the same error:

Code: Select all

vps:/home/duke/0.2.8-armagetronad-sty+ct/armagetronad# ./bootstrap.sh
Generating version...
Copying license...
Running aclocal...
./bootstrap.sh: line 20: aclocal: command not found
rm: cannot remove `aclocal.m4': No such file or directory
vps:/home/duke/0.2.8-armagetronad-sty+ct/armagetronad# ./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Edit: nvm, misunderstanding

I had this same problem when i installed it. Tazmania knows how to do it.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev

The command taz had me enter was quite long but I think that one should be enough?

Nope...

I think you'll have to find an external .deb file for the version of Debian - they generally don't have such "new" software in their repositories. (Or you'll need to compile it from source.)

[Z-Man]

No, you just don't NEED libprotobuf for sty. Just delete it from the apt-get line.

[dukevin]

Thanks Z-man, omitting that last file worked! Everything works smoothly

However, a small gripe is that when I login @forums, it waits until round end before I get logged in, unlike before where it was almost instant.

Is this because I didn't install with a flag or similar?

For that you will need to install zthreads and ./configure [...] --with-zthread

[INW]

You need to install Z-thread to your server.

Kyle sent me a nice short tutorial on how to install that which I lost of course.

But ya, your looking for Z-Thread.

EDIT: O jip beat me.

[dukevin]

Ok, so I just ./configure --with-zthread ?

Do I have to reinstall armagetron and do this or can I just do it right now?

why do you always loose that

Code: Select all

wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zthread/ZThread-2.3.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf ZThread-2.3.2.tar.gz
cd ZThread-2.3.2
./configure CXXFLAGS="-fpermissive" --prefix=/usr/
make && make install

you'll have to reconfigure than reinstall armagetron after you install that

[dukevin]

Setting up armagetron on another vps, this time I can't make install

Guess you need protobuf.
