I want to compile 2.0.10 and downloaded the zip file linked by Jeff. I ran configure but problems were reported and I'm (as an Ubuntu newbie) have no idea what to install. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

The messages are:

start with

Code: Select all

libncurses5-dev
libsdl1.2-dev

it also looks like you might need to install some OpenGL (mesa) libraries.

you also need yo make sure you have
sdl-dev
gcc
g++
and probably mesa-dev since your on ATI

Okay... libncurses5-dev and libsdl1.2-dev were no problem to install. Now I'm still missing gl and again have no idea what to install. I tried to find something using aptitude but couldn't find anything useful.

g++ was missing.

Still an error I have to fix

Code: Select all

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libasound.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libasound.la'
make[2]: *** [bzflag] Error 1

Now it compiles after installing several missing libs.
