Compiling problems on Linux

Post by LordGordon »

Hello,
I found this game and seems to be very interesting. I want to use it on my GNU\Linux Fedora Core 5 but I failed to install it.
First i tried to use the rpm but the link doesn't work! (http://www.nu6.org/_/pak/globulation2/)

Then I tried to compile the game. The configure script failed to find SDL_ttf.
I installed SDL_ttf from yum (version 2.0.7).

Many thanks for your help!

Ok, solved.
I created symbolic links from /usr/lib/libSDL* to /usr/local/lib/ and from /usr/include/SDL/SDL* to /usr/local/include/SDL/.

Now I can play with Globulation!

Wow... That's complicated. You should get Ubuntu, all that stuff is a lot easier with .deb packages.

I have downloaded all the dependances with yum. The only complication was the symbolic link. The compiling was completed without problems.
The configure script of globulation search in /usr/local/, but yum install all in /usr/lib and /usr/include. This is the trouble.
I hope my solution is useful for other users.

I am sort of having the same problem but scons will not open and I don't know were it is located so I cannot manually open it.

Has anyone else had this problem and has an answer to fixing it?
