Help on Lubuntu with terminal install of angband... so confused

jozmon1 · Jul 25, 2014

Ok I am a realitivity new fan of the game angband, and love D&D style games. I currently have the 3.3.2 version however I want the 3.5.0 version. I am so confused on how to get this to install? Can someone help me cause I have an 8 hour headach trying to understand this... Please help this is the source http://rephial.org/downloads/3.5/angband-v3.5.0.tar.gz
I honestly need a step by step if anyone is so inclined to help.

skittle :

The instructions are provided in the .tar.gz
You will need to compile the game from the source code. Read the "compiling.txt" for compiling instructions.
You may first need some tools to compile stuff.

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake

Now download tar.gz to your drive somewhere. open terminal. cd into directory where the angband file is located, then:

Code:

tar -xzf angband-v3.5.0.tar.gz 
cd angband-v3.5.0/

#compiling.txt
BUILDING ON LINUX / *NIX
========================

Native builds
-------------

Linux builds using autotools. There are several different front ends that you
can optionally build (GCU, SDL, X11, and GTK) using arguments to configure
such as --enable-sdl, --disable-gtk, etc. Each front end has different
dependencies (e.g. ncurses, SDL libraries, etc).

To build Angband to be run in-place:

./autogen.sh
./configure --with-no-install [other options as needed]
make

To build Angband to be installed in some other location:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix /path/to [other options as needed ]
make
make install

On some BSDs, you may need to copy install-sh into lib/ and various
subdirectories of lib/ in order to install correctly.

ok its on my desktop
so i write
cd /home/curs3/Desktop/angband-v3.5.0
this goes right
i try the ./autogen.sh and get
bash: ./autogen.sh: no such file or directory
so please try and install this and tell me the code i need cause i feel dumb.....

Code:

chmod +x autogen.sh

That's probably what you need. Do the same for configure .sh.

Error?

Can you post the output of dir?

Are you sure you extracted it?

jozmon1 · Jul 25, 2014

Someone Somewhere :

yes i extracted it and as far as the output of dir im not following you so well , i am running lubuntu a linux os, the tar.gz file is in
/home/curs3/Downloads/angband-v3.5.0.tar.gz
and the extracted
/home/curs3/Desktop/angband-v3.5.0
if any way possible can you try downloading and installing from http://rephial.org/downloads/3.5/angband-v3.5.0.tar.gz

dir is a command that lists all files and folders in a directory.

Someone Somewhere · Jul 25, 2014

OK, that's an error in a different placce to where I thought it was.

That's trying to compile, but there's a problem in either the code or the dependencies. Usually they'll tell you a list of all the extra stuff you may need to install to build it.

Someone Somewhere :

ok -- Frontends --
- Curses No; missing libraries
- X11 Yes
- SDL No; missing libraries
- Windows Disabled
- Test No
- Stats No

- SDL sound No; missing libraries

im told i need to enable curses and sdl but i guess i need the dl for them im searching now x11 was a no before and idk how i got it as a yes but im still far off from my mark and trying

From the 'Compiling Angband' page:

$ sudo apt-get install autoconf gcc libc6-dev libncurses5-dev libx11-dev \
libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev \
libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev

That should sort your issues.

Someone Somewhere :

[strike]'dir' is not a valid bash command :/ under unix/linux/bsd the equivalent is 'ls'
[/strike]
anyway the error comes because 'autogen.sh' actually does not exist. The instructions provided in the readme are incorrect and probably just copied from a previous version.

It seems to work for me, running bash 4.3.11 as part of Kubuntu 14.04.

Part of GNU Coreutils. Don't see anything about deprecation in the man pages...

skittle · Jul 25, 2014

Yes TIL. !
However its existence is sort of dubious because:

"‘dir’ is equivalent to ‘ls -C -b’; that is, by default files are listed
in columns, sorted vertically, and special characters are represented by
backslash escape sequences.

Where ls is the traditional unix method to "list" files in a directory.

vdir is also equivalent to dir/ls just with different options, and curl and wget could be considered equivalent. It sort of comes down to choice.
