Hi all I wanted to install Built 14 on my Fedora 12 machine, but found out that Built 13 is the newest built available. I would really like to be able to try out the newest Built (maybe even a newer development Built which has been said to contain lots extra by now). I am not able to compile builts myself atm (but would be willing to learn and then, in the future I would happily make sure Fedora builts are up to date). I have tried to make the latest development built work, but when running the file in the end, nothing happens. Could anybody help me?

Could you start the build14 from terminal and tell us what happens?

It gives the following error: ./widelands: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_gfx.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So it seems to be dependencies. Unfortunately, when I tried to install the dependency it did not seem to exist. I found this in the Wiki which speak of that exact dependency: http://wl.widelands.org/wiki/WidelandsFaq/ But I could not find either lib you suggested to link to instead. My main worry is that the game is made as a .tar.bz2, which, although I can unpack it, does not check for dependencies, whereas if I had a .rpm it would be a whole lot easier with Fedora.

I haven't used Fedora for some time, but have you tried installing the dev packages as well (with yum or whatever front-end there is for it)? It's in .tar.bz2, as it's a generic binary. It's expected that there will be updated packages in the repos itself, but that depends on maintainers. It'd be obviously great if somebody could provide for the users .rpm and .deb packages.

Well... with yum I'll get the old Build13. I guess actually that my main problem is that I do not have the dependencies. I will try and see if I can make it work and figure out how to make a .rpm package. But we'll see. Is there a list of dependencies for Widelands somewhere?

You're supposed to get the dependencies with yum. Not Widelands. And obviously, there is: BuildingWidelands.

Hm... can't seem to get it to work. Might give it a try again soon. But not in the next week or so.
