Installation

[delinquent]

I put elementary on my old laptop, so far it's pretty stable. I now realise that I'm pretty crap at using unix.

Can someone be a darling and show me what commands I need to enter in terminal to gain a copy of the 0.4 alpha build of dedicated?

Ta so much.

What package manager does it use?

[epsy]

Looks like it's based on ubuntu.

Just add --enable-dedicated to the configure line and you'll be good to go.

[delinquent]

Nice one, I'll do it tomorrow

I have a problem:

Code: Select all

./configure: line 9827: xml2-config: command not found
configure: error: Fatal error: the libxml2 configuration script xml2-config does not work/exist.

Am I pulling the 0.4 version? seems like the guide was written for 0.3. Anyway, there isn't a makefile, and the above is happening.

[delinquent]

Hm
Tried using the bzr debs listed there, terminal complained of the lack of a public key. I tried the latest edition of bzr and got the crap above

[epsy]

Have you installed libxml2-dev?

[delinquent]

It said that it installed the package the first time I ran apt_get update, afaik.
I'm assuming that to do it manually it's apt-get install libxml2-dev?

Edit: Now getting an error telling me that the pubic key isn't available. I gues bzr didn't install then. I'm slightly confused?

[delinquent]

Also, after installing the styct 0.2 alpha I can't seem to start the server
It spouts: disable via /etc/default/armagetronad-styct-dedicated
My first thought was that it was already running, so I stopped it, and the process apparently went OK, but I still go the same message on trying to start the server.

I'm so confused

[Z-Man]

disable via /etc/default/armagetronad-styct-dedicated

You should take a look into that file, then, and edit it accordingly.
(Following the 'teaching you how to think like a linux person' school here.)

Can you post the precise error you get when they say a public key is missing? Copy/pasting from terminal isn't hard.

[delinquent]

That's sorted, I now have the error you quoted.

I looked into it, the file in question is actually shortcut to etc/default/armagetronad-styct

Which in turn is a folder -.-

Should I try apt-get --purge and then re-install? Or is there something else I should be looking at?

[Z-Man]

Which in turn is a folder -.-

Ok, that's odd, but what's in it?

Should I try apt-get --purge and then re-install?

If it makes you feel better, sure. But it's only going to change anything if you messed up the contents of /etc yourself.

[LOVER$BOY]

This is funny and everything... No, it isn't. That was a joke.

Never mind if you didn't get it.

That's strange delinquent, whenever I chose to install any of the server code in my linux os, example Ubuntu or Linux Mint, I get no problem.

The steps to installing a server in your os using the source is pretty simple. I don't know why you would need to go the lenghts of editing the /etc/ folders and have to deal with apt-get in the first place...

It seems there's something going on at your end that we're unaware of...

[Z-Man]

I don't know why you would need to go the lenghts of editing the /etc/ folders

That is standard procedure (AFAIK, we just took it over from the official packages) for servers installed via .deb packages.

[delinquent]

The folder just contains the maps and userdata...
I thought apt-get would prove simpler than ******* around with bzr...

I'll try again later on tonight.
