How to compile from SVN under Linux.

See also: HowTo:Cygwin Compiling, HowTo:VCPP Compiling

Getting the SVN-files

  • Checkout the following modules ...
    • data package: data4.x
    • code package: vegastrike
  • Visit HowTo:Checkout SVN to see how you check these modules out.

Requirements

In order to compile Vegastrike there are a few things to check:

  • Make sure you have these packages installed ...
    • make
    • gcc
    • automake at least version 1.5
    • autoconf at least version 2.53
    • 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, however you will not get a setup program if you do this:
./configure --disable-gtk ...........
  • If you only want the server, and want to disable all GUI components--This removes the dependency on X11, OpenGL, SDL, GLUT, OpenAL.
./configure --disable-client ...........
  • See this thread about boost versions. Set this option to 1.28, 1.29, or 1.33 if the default does not compile.
./configure --with-boost=<VER> ...........

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
./bootstrap-sh
./configure --enable-debug --with-data-dir=<DIR>
make
make install # [AS ROOT]

Note: The bootstrap-sh script currently has a bug that can cause it to incorrectly report on the absence of GLUT. If you are sure you have installed glut-devel and are still seeing this error, check near the end of config.log to see if another library (such as libxmu or libxi) is the true culprit. [1]
