!![Vegastrike|VegastrikeWiki]: [Howto|VegastrikeHowtos]: Compile CVS under Linux
See also VsHowtoCompileCvsCygwin, VsHowtoCompileCvsVcpp
----
!Getting the CVS-files:

* checkout these modules
** data package: data or data4.x
** code package: vegastrike
* See VsHowtoCheckoutCvs

----

In order to compile Vegastrike there are a few things to check :
*make sure you have these packages installed:
**make
**gcc
**automake
**autoconf
**X11...
**libpng + libpng-devel <-- libpng 3 is recommended.
**python and python-dev <-- 2.2.1
**expat
**(lib)jpeg + libjpeg-devel
**opengl (see below) (you probably already have it)
**glut + glut-devel
**openal + openal-devel
**__inetutils__
*when using __libpng 1.2__, --with-png-inc=<DIR> is needed
* to be sure set the data dir to you vs-data dir:
./configure --with-data-dir=<DIR> ........
*if you don't want to compile with gtk just turn it off:
./configure --enable-nogtk ...........
*This is nececcary for each compiler version. (See [this|http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1147] thread in the forum)
./configure --enable-boost-128 ...........

----
!Compiling
The compile procedure should look like the following listing. Remember the configure part depends on above requirements. Though autoconf may not work, if so just skip it.
cd ./vegastrike
aclocal
autoconf
autoheader
automake -a --add-missing
./configure --enable-boost-128 --enable-debug --enable-ggdb3 --with-data-dir=<DIR>
make
make install

Note: enable-ggdb3 is only needed if you have a weird incompatible version of gcc and gdb that causes gdb to hang in some cases, such as in my version of debian.
Note: ggdb3 and debug can both be taken out if you don't want debug symbols and want VS to be faster.
