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
("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
Does someone perhaps have an idea how to get these slightly outdated builds up and compiling? Edited: 2020-06-14, 19:49

I can't even build a version from two months ago on my system without backporting fixes, so good luck, it's probably going to be a pain Top Quote |

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… Top Quote |

I did some old versions for sake of curiosity a few years back. The easiest is to use a virtual machine with equally old guest OS. Did not try 0.0.1a, probably something like 5 and 10. Top Quote |
