Ubuntu Script
Wed, 2009-02-18 23:28
Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and would like to play the latest version of Hedgewars but I get an error using the ubuntu script on the download page.
Quote:
followed by a box saying there's a cmake error, 2.6.0 needed and 2.4.7 is installed.
Error #100 APT-GET/DPKG in package install
In the synaptic package manager only cmake 2.4.7 is listed and I'm a bit lost as what I need to do next.
Thankyou
The short answer is to upgrade to Ibex
The long answer.. well someone more familiar with Ubuntu will give you that later. Nemo is unable to post from work.
You need to select every repo in sources (reccomended, backports, ecc.) and every update available, then fetch packages and upgrade.

Blah, I upgraded to ibex along with selecting all the repos. Now I get "E: broken packages". I guess I'm stuck playing on my windows machine for the time being.
I think that selecting all the repos was better...

Ok, I have a fresh install of 8.04 (8.10 would freeze when booting up sometimes for some reason). I've selected every repo in sources and updates and everythings upgraded. It shows zenity 2.22.1-1 and cmake 2.6.2-1ubuntu1~hardy1 as being installed. I run the script and I get this back:
??what??Strange thing, I'll see what I can do!
It seems that everything is ok to me, did you download the latest version of the script?

Yes, I got it fresh out of the tubes.
Spacing out. How do I use the script? I have no clue.
Well, my friends modify it, it should automatically install zenity if not present via apt-get, then open the zenity menu to choose what to do, like install stable/unstable version, update the game, read log. Please try to install zenity with
sudo apt-get install zenityand tell me if the menu appears, else I'll try to find out what's the problem.@alex12 To use the script you need Ubuntu (or ubuntu based) OS and execute the script.

I have Ubuntu. I just have no clue as to how to use the script.
ok, you download the script from my signature, change the permissions to make it executable and then open it from a terminal with ./hedgewars_svnInstaller (obviously you need to go to the path of the script, if the script is in your home directory you need only to write ./hedgewars_svnInstaller)

Ah, I think my problem may have been related to the permissions (execute file as program check box) set in the properties. Everything installed and works now (for the most part). Thank you for your help
