impossible to upgrade to 0.3.x

[prospere]

Hello, I tried to upgrade to armagetronad 0.3.0 but I am not abble to compile since the test from config he ask for libpng. althought it was installed.
(even if I upgraded to 1.4 and then the 1.5 version of libpng)

So I tryed to find package but the problem is that every Christine Spang's links are dead. This is the same for other links to packages given through the forum(error 404)

So what do I have to do to upgrade to 0.3.0 and so to be abble to play on adventure of tron without any warming message like "you probably have to upgrade..."

If you are happy with the current version, just ignore the message. No need to upgrade.

The thing is, you'll probably get that message no matter what version you use because the server is an experimental branch. I would just get used to ignoring it.

0.3.0 is ancient and unsupported.

Mayby, but I cannot understand why configure sayd that libpng is missing...

Cecause if armaetronad 0.2.8.3.1 work, that mean that libpng is definitely here in the right place...

That's because the test for libpng in the old source is broken, and we can't go and fix problems like that for all past source releases. Either stick to builds or get your code from bzr/svn if you want to be at the bleeding edge.

Because both of these are true:
1. 0.2.8.3.1 is newer than 0.3.0 by a few years.
2. 0.3.x requires more dependencies than 0.2.8.x did.

Okay, so I downloaded the 0.3.x with bzr.

I go to ./doc/installation.txt whitch say:

change into the unpacked directory; type::

./configure
gmake install

So I come to the /armaetronad directory created by bzr and do ./configure
then it say that ./configure: No such file or directory. And I cannot farchiveound any archive reported by the document.
Where can i find congigure file?

The bazaare downloaded me this source: http://www.mediafire.com/?xfyr31i47nwn174
(there is also an interesting feature in 0.3 whitch send a sound for each respaw and new match)

For bzr versions, you just need to call ./bootstrap.sh before you configure.

Hello, after several minutes of make install, althought libpng is installed I have:

render/rSysdep.cpp:56:17: fatal error: png.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [librender_a-rSysdep.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Downloads/armagetronad/src'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Downloads/armagetronad/src'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

But Dolphin found png.h in /include/ and /include/libpng14/
So where should i move png.h?

[Z-Man]

Odd, what kind of system is it you have installed there? /usr/include would be the usual place for include files.

Hello, I had difficult to find libpng 1.2 for the 64bits os, that is why I didn't know that /include should go to /usr.

I finally succeded to build the 0.3 armagetron for the 64bits linux.
thank you.
