Install these package e.g. from ports tree.

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

./build-mg.sh

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

ATTENTION: jam is needed to build MegaGlest, not make

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
