A few questons after compiling wesnoth 1.4

[poisonblack]

Hi.!
I recently compiled Wesnoth 1.4 from source code on my Ubuntu 7.10.Since I am a newbie at compiling programs, I just copy-pasted the instructions given here.:
http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guides: ... or_wesnoth
Now, I have a folder called wesnoth-1.4 on my desktop.Can I safely move it some other location without affecting the game.?
Also, I compiled wesnoth without removing the 1.2.8 version which I had downloaded from the repositories.Now Whenever I do a apt-get install, I get the message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
poisonblack@poisonblack-PC:~$ sudo apt-get install wmctrl

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wesnoth-ei: Depends: wesnoth (>= 1:1.2) but 1.4-1 is to be installed
wesnoth-httt: Depends: wesnoth (>= 1:1.2) but 1.4-1 is to be installed
wesnoth-trow: Depends: wesnoth (>= 1:1.2) but 1.4-1 is to be installed
wesnoth-tsg: Depends: wesnoth (>= 1:1.2) but 1.4-1 is to be installed
wesnoth-ttb: Depends: wesnoth (>= 1:1.2) but 1.4-1 is to be installed
wesnoth-utbs: Depends: wesnoth (>= 1:1.2) but 1.4-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I am a bit skeptical about doing apt-get -f install since I guess it will mess up my current game.How do I fix this.?

You'd better use this link:

Well, just try it. Though, I doubt it'll work.

I'd suggest you reinstall it, setting different paths than your 1.2.8 version. Something like this:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/opt/games/wesnoth-14 --with-preferences-dir=.wesnoth-14 --program-suffix=-14 --with-datadir-name=wesnoth-14 --enable-editor

Of course, you can use your own paths and prefixes.


Upd:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

And, by the way, I think, that problem emerged, because you've used checkinstall (and then dpkg, I guess). Don't do it, just install in the standart way, 'sudo make install'.
