Getting the CVS-files

• checkout these modules
  • data package: data or data4.x
  • code package: vegastrike
• See HowTo:Checkout CVS

---

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 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.
