Compilation

Recently the build system was changed to cmake. Therefor you should just have to do:

./build-mg.sh

in the megaglest directory.

Old method

If you are going to compile from older version of the source tree, with jam, read on.

go to megaglest/mk/linux and run

./autogen.sh

next call the configure script this way:

./configure --with-libxerces=/usr/local --with-libOpenAL=/usr/local --with-libLibPng=/usr/local \
--with-libLibJPEG=/usr/local --with-libLibCurl=/usr/local --with-libLibX11=/usr/local \
--with-ogg-includes=/usr/local --with-vorbis=/usr/local --with-ogg=/usr/local \
--with-ogg-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-ogg-includes=/usr/local/include \
--with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wxgtk2u-2.8-config

If this has finnished successfully without errors and a message like this:

Notice: This project uses jam (and not make) as build tool. Type in:

jam

If everything went well the last lines of the output of jam should look like this:

LinkApplication glest_configurator
...updated 257 target(s)...

You should create under megaglest/mk/linux a new folder:

mkdir mydata

and create some symlinks within

ln -s ../scenarios
ln -s ../data
ln -s ../maps
ln -s ../tilesets
ln -s ../techs
ln -s ../tutorials

Now you can start MegaGlest by typing within the folder megaglest/mk/linux

./glest.bin

Alternative method

• Retrieve two files from the corresponding PR.
• Get the megaglest.shar and the megaglest-data.shar files.

As root user, copy or move these files to /usr/ports/games and execute them:

 sh megaglest.shar
 sh megaglest-data.shar

After that you'll find two new directories under /usr/ports/games: megaglest and megaglest-data

Go to /usr/ports/games/megaglest and install it like any other port by typing:

 cd /usr/ports/games/megaglest ; make install clean

After build and installation has finished successfully you should be able to start MegaGlest by typing:

megaglest
