Topic: Compiling Ancient Widelands

Out of interest I have downloaded the source tarballs for build10rc and widelands-0.0.1a from SourceForge, but unsurprisingly they don't compile just like that on Ubuntu 20.04.

The compile readme for build10rc says to just run make, but that fails with

make: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Ziel „src/config.h.default“, 
  benötigt von „src/config.h“, zu erstellen.  Schluss.

("no rule present to create the target src/config.h.default, which is needed by src/config.h; cancel")

The very first release compiles fine but fails to link with several undefined references. Edit: After hacking the makefile to add -lm -lSDL I reduced these errors to:

gcc  -I/usr/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -DUSE_SDL_LIB -O3 -Wall   -o widelands  widelands.o card.o field.o SDL_input.o SDL_Medialib.o draw.o -lm -lSDL

/usr/bin/ld: card.c:(.text+0x254c): undefined reference to `a_SDLGraphDrawPixel'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Does someone perhaps have an idea how to get these slightly outdated builds up and compiling?

It certainly will be

I can compile version 0.0.1a now. The linker errors were caused by some functions being declared inline that shouldn't be, now I can run it and watch a black window segfaulting…
