OK! Im done with this page. Hope it helps somebody! Special thanks to my brother who helped me beta-test this tutorial. It worked in his system, so it should hopefully work in everybody elses'.

Dependencies errors

I just used this tutorial to compile VS quickly, but the dependencies installed with apt-get didn't fit : python2.5-dev doesn't exist anymore on the lucid version (10.04), but python2.6-dev instead seems to work well. Moreover, the SDL dev package is not in this list, whereas it is required for the joystick control (warning during ./configure), and at linking time, there is an undefined reference to winsys_init. So I installed libsdl1.2-dev, reconfigured, and eventually VS were compiled. I made the changes in the page, tell me if I'm going wrong.

Name change proposal.

Name should be changed for consistency reasons to "HowTo:Checkout SVN on Ubuntu Linux"

Updated compiling instructions for cmake

Based on some comments by Klauss in the forum and my own results under Xubuntu 12.04, I have updated the instructions for checking out and compiling to what I needed to do to get Vega Strike running with cmake. I left the other parts of the page (starting with the installation instructions) alone. I used a freshly installed and updated Xubuntu 12.04, so I'm fairly confident that I got it right this distribution. For other distributions, there may be differences. Feel free to correct me.
