Compiling Wesnoth 1.4 on Ubuntu fails (missing png support)

[suitsmeveryfine]

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 received a different response this time:

Have you read the prerequisites for compiling wesnoth? You seem to be missing the sdl packages needed by wesnoth.

Install:

• libsdl1.2debian
• libsdl1.2-dev
• libsdl-image1.2
• libsdl-image1.2-dev
• libsdl-mixer1.2
• libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
• libsdl-net1.2
• libsdl-net1.2-dev

and all other prerequisites listed on the linked page.

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 Synaptic so I went to the project's website and downloaded the source-code in order to install FreeType2. I have never succeeded in compiling myself but have always relied on the Ubuntu installation tools or .deb-files. This is how I went about to compile FreeType2: 1) downloaded the .tar.bz2-file 2) unpacked it to the Desktop 3) ran “make” from the command line when I was in the FreeType2 font. It seemed to install very fine but as I tried to compile Wesnoth again, it is asking for the FreeTyp2 library. This is getting frustrating, I need to play this game very soon!

[Prophet]

Give these packages a try:

• libfreetype6
• libfreetype6-dev

Your problem with installing freetype library by hand probably occures because the install placed it in a location the compiler does not search for its headers/library.

EDIT: Sidenote: Its important that you allways install the dev packages of libraries you need for compiling, too!

[suitsmeveryfine]

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?

[AI]

You need to have the locale installed if you want to switch to it. (insert long and winded explanation about glibc and locales here) Should be somewhere in /etc

[Iris]

Code: Select all

locale -a

Will list the installed list of locales in your system. You may want to check a thread were a similar language issue is being discussed:

http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20454

[suitsmeveryfine]

My local? locale -a gives:

Code: Select all

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 change into Swedish. When I had Wesnoth 1.2 previously (installed as a package, not selfcompiled), I could easily change into whatever language I wanted: Dutch, French or whatever.

[torangan]

Try to install the variants without utf8.
