Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to use the Widelands Daily.

I downloaded the daily, and untarred it in /opt.

But How do I start the daily?

If you didn't do anything to your path/environments, you'll have to run widelands this way:

cd /opt/share/widelands

/opt/bin/widelands

This way it will find your paths to the data.

(This assuming that the tar contains the common well-known (from make) bin and share/widelands paths.)

Hi, that is the problem.

The tar doesn't contain the opt/bin/widelands and opt/share/widelands paths.

All I get is a opt/widelands-daily path

Ok I checked the widelands-daily-optinstall-release-svn5022.tar.bz2

I don't know about the directory layout (maybe the provider can explain that), but I checked how to run them:

  • untar to /opt
  • go to /opt/share/games/widelands
  • /opt/games/widelands

On my system it then complains about a missing liblua.5.1.so.0 which is not there (despite the fact that liblua5.1.4 is installed and the build with Scons and with CMake/make works perfectly). I just guess that I'm missing a symlink from liblua.so.5.1.4 to liblua.5.1.so.0 but I'm currently not in the mood to investigate this face-smile.png

Does this work for you?

I got

/opt/widelands-daily/share/games/widelands
/opt/widelands-daily/games/widelands

When I try to start the executable widelands in the /opt/widelands-daily/games, nothing happens.

I checked, but liblua.5.1.so.0 is not installed and also liblua.so.5.1.4 is not installed

Well, if nothing happens, the problem is not yet lua face-smile.png

I forgot that I modified the file structure, so I got /opt/share/games/widelands and /opt/games/widelands directories (thus removing the widelands-daily directory). The widelands binary searches in the current path for the game data, so cd /opt/share/games/widelands before running the executable.

Then it should start complaining about missing lua. If you don't have installed lua, that may be correct. Lua is necessary for the current SVN builds (and will probably stay so).
