HelpWithWormux8Stable

Hello. I am trying to get the stable release of wormux 0.8 to work with gNewsense 2.0. The repositories have wormux 0.8 beta. However, the new version has was released Tuesday. I have been looking forward to the stable release for some time. However, I have little knowledge for compiling from source. Which appears to be the only option until the repositories are updates with the stable release.

1: I have downloaded the source from the official web site.

2: I have extracted the files to my Desktop.

3: I have opened Terminal and navigated into the extracted wormux folder.

4: I run ./configure and get the fallowing.

• The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found
• If SDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
• your path, or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the
• full path to sdl-config.

configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.6 not found! saz@Insane_O_Flex:~/Desktop/wormux-0.8$

I go into Synaptic Package Manager and look up SDL. My libsdl is libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-1ubuntu1

Thank you very much for your time and help.

yeKcim Administrateur from the wormux site gave me how to do it. Just type this in.

sudo apt-get install automake build-essential gawk libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libxml2-dev subversion libcurl3-dev

Then run ./configure then make then make install with sudo

Then it runs perfectly. :-)

sudo apt-get build-dep wormux would do it for you too and it's a shorter command :) I'm glad you found out how to get it compiling.
