[invalid] Missing dependencies on the docs/readme_linux.txt file

[Gallaecio]

There are two missing dependencies in the list: LUA and xwGTK.

I though the last one was only needed for the editor, and that the game could be compiled without it by setting the WX_AVAILABLE to "no", but it didn't work, so I guess it's a needed dependency (during the build process at least).

[softcoder]

wx is not required for the game and is not a dependency for the core game itself. Only the tools use it (map editor, g3d viewer and configurator).

Thanks

So I should be able to compile the game without wxgtk package installed in my system just setting WX_AVAILABLE to "no"? Because I think I can't.

You're probably trying to build an entire project containing not just the MG binary, but the tools as well. You'll have to compile just the binary if you want to get off without WxWidgets.

[softcoder]

Assuming you built using jam, at the end of the build process you should see glest.bin which is the actual game (regardless of any errors you see during compile time)

Thanks

[Gallaecio]

Is there a way to avoid compiling those tools but yet get no error? Maybe an environment variable or a parameter to the jam command?

[softcoder]

Not that I know of. This does not stop you from compiling the game and using it. If you want to get rid of the errors install all the dependencies.

Thanks

I did compile it with wxgtk, just wanted to know the alternatives, thanks
