Installation advice, please

[Runaway1956]

The background is, Debian archives has an older version of Angband available - v3.1 I think it was. It ran alright - but I wanted to get the latest and greatest, straight from rephial.

I downloaded, configured, and make install that newest, v3.5.1

With the new version, I can't set up the terminals. I know the system can do the terminals because the Debian version would do them, but this version, this compilation, won't do windows for me.

So - here's my log of ./configure. For whatever reason, it reports that curses, is missing libraries, SDL is disabled, Windows is disabled, and SDL sound is disabled. Do I need to feed ./configure an argument of some sort to enable all of that?

I'm going to double check the ncurses dependencies, and install those, but I have little idea how to enable the stuff that is disabled.

Alright - curses problem is solved - I simply searched synaptic for ncursesw and installed likely candidates. New output of ./configure looks like this with SDL, Windows, and SDL still disabled:

While working at this, I hit Google, and found this page dealing with the Sid branch of Debian. https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/angband

Seems I had a lot of missing dependencies. Installing them all now, we'll see how this works after that is finished.

[Runaway1956]

Well now - little has changed. Ncurses is content, but SDL and Windows still seem to be dead. This is my config.log -

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by Angband configure 3.5.1, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --with-no-install

Ho-hum - still no joy. I found and installed the latest version of Angband from the Sid repositories. I checked carefully that all of the dependencies were satisfied, checking for version numbers as well. Everything SHOULD work, but I still get no windows. My x11-settings-prf stays the same, no matter what I do with the game settings. Alice.prf was created when I told it to save user prefs. I can't read it in an editor - or there's nothing to read.

Alice.prf

I'm stumped right now . . . .

OK, I'm the last guy to give linux advice. I installed 3.5.1 on Linux Mint 17.1 with the following:

>sudo apt-get install autoconf gcc libc6-dev libncurses5-dev libx11-dev

~/Src/angband-3.5.1 > ./configure --with-no-install
~/Src/angband-3.5.1 > make -j4
~/Src/angband-3.5.1 > cp src/angband .
~/Src/angband-3.5.1 > ./angband -g -- -n4

BTW, I never know what packages are needed and it would be nice if a list were included in compiling.txt. I listed the ones required for my variant which lacks sdl support.

EDIT: Graphics don't seem to work for me ... I always get ASCII?

[Runaway1956]

Interesting. I haven't attempted to enable or to use graphics - I'm just happy playing the old school way.

I'll take a look at doing things your way, and see what happens.


THANKS FOR THE REPLY!!

I'm also utterly unqualified to comment on Linux issues, but it's entirely possible that the different front-ends have differing levels of "supportedness".

[Runaway1956]

Nice - your way works, Chris! I now have a status window, equipment window, and messages window. Sweet!

Thanks again!
