Glest on gentoo. Everything works fine

[mattions]

Hi to all..

I'm on gentoo and glest runs an a very smart way.

Thank you for your work to have ported to Linux.
And of course many thanks to all he authors for the really spectacular works

Really nice.

Would be a 2.0 version also for Linux ?

The latest version is always available for Linux as well, you just have to download the source from the CVS in sourceforge and the data. Of course you have to compile the code, but if you are using Linux you are supposed to be able to do this kind of stuff

[mattions]

In gentoo you compile everything from the source.

It wouldn't be to tricky..

Maybe I manage to create a cvs ebuild to build the last versione of glest..

So .. you has won a beta tester

I report the progress in this treahds.

stay tuned

OMG!
I thought that only the 1.2 version or something like that was fully Linux compatible.  It sounds to me that a compilation time is coming...  
thanks

Quick and dirty installation.

The ebuild isn't already functional.. however you can just try glest-2.0-rc2 just:

1. get it from cvs :

Code: [Select]

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/glest co -P glest

2. Compiling it

Code: [Select]

cd mk/linux
./autogen
./configure
jam
3. download the data directory and extract into the mk/linux/ directory .
http://http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/glest/glest_data_2.0rc1.zip?download
4.from shell launch it

Code: [Select]

./glest

That's all.
Running fine here .

The dependacies are the same for glest 1.2

I think I stop trying to make the cvs ebuild.
I would submit the ebuild for the 2.0 stable-release.
To test the rc-release just follow the step above .

Hope this help

I know I'm a lazy ass >.> but I would be more interested in an ebuild for Glest 2.0 when it comes out more than the rc versions XD

[mattions]

The ebuild for Glest 2.0 would be wrote ASAP the glest team will release the 2.0.

The problem to write the cvs ebuild for glest is my really badness to write complicated ebuild.

Tath's all.

But if you can't wait, you can build glest on your Desktop and play with the rc , without cause trobule to your system.

Or maybe... you can wait

Hy Guys
A eyecandy game for Linux.

I have problems to install the game from your quick&dirty tutorial. I make some changes, so it works now fine for me.
I hope I did all right, so here my steps for copy&paste:

1. get it from cvs :

Code: [Select]

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/glest co -P glest

2. Compiling it

Code: [Select]

cd ~/glest/mk/linux
./autogen.sh
./configure
jam
3. download the glest-datat into the mk/linux/ directory .
http://http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/glest/glest_data_2.0rc1.zip?download

4. extract the data
 

Code: [Select]

unzip glest_data_*.zip

5. copy the binary and ini on the right place
 

Code: [Select]

cp glest glest_game/

Code: [Select]

cp glest.ini glest_game/  

6.from shell launch it

Code: [Select]

cd glest_game/

Code: [Select]

./glest

That's all.
Running very very very fine here.

Thanks a lot
