I have a little question:

What is the difference between files FindSDL2.cmake, and why ?

The change was just one line, you can see it here: Try to fix packaging for Focal

Widelands uses the SDL2 library, which can be located in different folders on different operating systems. The compilation script couldn't find it on your system. The added line specifies an additional folder to search in.

OK, thanks :) I have the same problem on an other machine on Ubuntu too, and adding this file don't change anything. Now I understand that I have to find the location of this SDL2 library to make it work... I'll try face-smile.png

There's a better fix now, so if you want to try, download these files:

CMakeLists.txt Put it in widelands-0a481603a31ac0ae5150c6a45452e39c50ccb63e/

cmake/WlFunctions.cmake Put it in widelands-0a481603a31ac0ae5150c6a45452e39c50ccb63e/cmake/

Probably – if you describe which method of installation (git, bzr, appveyor, tarball, …) exactly you are using face-wink.png

Thanks. I've downloaded a zip from Github, extracted it and run the compile command. Is it a problem that I had also still a bzr build on that machine?

Downloaded ZIPs unfortunately don't contain the git history so the package does not contain any information that makes it possible to detect the version number (see also https://github.com/widelands/widelands/issues/3657)

Thanks for the info.

Can one expect further problems from this bug than that the version number is hidden? There shouldn't be any serious, right?

Technically "REVDETECT-BROKEN-PLEASE-REPORT-THIS" is as valid a version string as e.g. "r24618[00f7e94@master] (Release)" so there are no problems except

  • when you want to report a bug against that version, or

  • when you want to know whether people in the multiplayer lobby are using the same version.

Other than that everything will work fine.
