Solved: Compile and install complete but how get started?

[TTHSK]

Hi folks!
Everything done like discribed in the "how to".

Compiling o.k. and installing o.k., but now I can't get started. What should I do??

(Kubuntu-Linux [Newbie], Version 1,3.9)

Maybe I solved the problem myself:

In Linux you find your files and the binary exec. in following folders:
- usr/local/bin
- usr/local/games

or if you compiled:
- usr/local/share/wesnoth

I'll try this, after switched to linux.

Unless you have a reason to, you don't need to compile it - I use Ubuntu myself and I've been using the debain packages from http://packages.debian.org/experimental/wesnoth for a time now, without any probles.

After Restart Wesnoth appeared in the start menue.

And I found the executive data at /usr/local/bin/wesnoth.

Everything worked just fine.

@eyerouge: I didn't want to take an older version than the 1.2.7 (stable) because I like the multiplayer mode. And Adept only provided 1.2.3.

False alarm.

Thanks for the quick help, anyway.

Yups, 1.3.9 is there, ready for download and install =)

You should be able to simply type in wesnoth in your terminal. Assuming it's in your path (it is in Kubuntu) /usr/local/ binaries always override /usr/ binaries, so you could even have two different versions of Wesnoth installed at the same time. (of course, that would wreak havoc with your cache and savegames)
