The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I can now see that the game doesn't start even when I simply type “wesnoth” in the terminal (but I can start it with my short cut link). It is reporting that Wesnoth isn't installed, but I have the game installed here: /opt/games/wesnoth-1.4/bin/wesnoth Could the installation path be the problem...

I don't know; I don't understand in what console he sees that information. When he runs the game in the terminal or what?

Neither I can change the language (in my case from English into Swedish) and just as for vicza I do have the locales installed, sv_SE.utf-8 more precisely. I compiled v. 1.14 in Ubuntu v. 7.10. Previously I played the 1.2 version of Wesnoth and then I had no problem in changing to any language, even...

My local? locale -a gives: en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 POSIX sv_FI.utf8 sv_SE.utf8 A lot of different English variants it looks like, plus Swedish at the end there, but I can't ch...

I finally managed to install the game! I can't change the language though. Has this something to do with my compilation/installation or is it a general problem with the new release?

Prophet, you were right in that I missed to install some of the prerequisites. I've found many of them in Synaptic and installed them one by one. Now when I'm trying to compile I recieve this: *** Unable to find FreeType2 library (http://www.freetype.org/) I couldn't find the correct file in Synapti...

Thanks people for trying to help me out! AI: i found only the first one of those packages, i.e. libc6-dev - GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files This one wasn't there: libc6-dev-amd64 - GNU C Library: 64bit Development Libraries for AMD64 I didn't succeed with my installation but I ...

Thanks for the tip but I can't find libc-dev-amd64 in the repository. I did find linux-libc-dev , version 2.6.22-14.52, however and installed that one (right or not?). Afterwards I tried to make the executable again but failed: checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host sys...

I am posting in this same thread since I'm also trying to compile the same version of Wesnoth in the same version of Ubuntu. I should add that I have got an AMD processor with 64-bit architecture, if that makes a difference perhaps. After I have typed in ./configure I get the following: checking bui...
