[3.3.2] Compiling fails under Ubuntu 11.10

[ViJay]

Having read this, i tried to compile V3.3.2 on my Ubuntu 11.10.

-- Frontends --
- Curses No; missing libraries
- GTK 2.x Disabled
- X11 Yes
- SDL Disabled
- Test No
- Stats No

- SDL sound No; missing libraries

It compiled without problems. (./configure ; make ; make install)

Something definitely seems wrong with the SDL.

How do you mean? You didn't configure it to build SDL - you need to run

./configure --enable-sdl

to do that.

What i mean is that if you compile without the SDL, it compiles without problem. If you (like raycluster) get the SDL packages and compile (based on the errormessages raycluster inlcuded) the libsdl seems to be the problem.

Or did you mean to say raycluster forgot to ./configure --enable-sdl ??

No - I hadn't realised that you had gone on to compile under SDL and found raycluster's problem - or were at least theorising that that would happen.

Judging from raycluster's posts, it doesn't look like the problem is specific to SDL - but it would be good if s/he can confirm whether it builds without SDL configured.

In other news, Angband 3.3.2 has just been uploaded to Debian Sid (unstable). So it should be in Wheezy (testing) in ten days, and in Ubuntu after that. Yay!

Unfortunately it has still not made it into Ubuntu..

Er ... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/angband tells me it's in something called Precise ...

And ubuntu precise pangolin is scheduled for April 2012...

It would however probably require yet another upgrade (currently running ocelot), which i am not exactly looking forward to.. I'll stick to my own compiled version of 3.3.2

There is also an ubuntu specific issue that it doesn't load one of the SDL dependencies correctly. Adding this line to the makefile in the *Angband/src directory solves this problem:

LDFLAGS += -lSDL

(Also for the post above)....A couple weeks ago I checked the Ubuntu Software Centre and searched for Angband, and I saw three Angband packages available for download.

True, there are currently SDL, GTK and X11 versions available of Angband 3.2.0
