HOWTO compile SuperTux 0.3.0 (Milestone 1.9) on Ubuntu Edgy

SuperTux 0.3.0 has been out for hours now. What are you waiting for?

Debian (unstable) and Ubuntu (Dapper or Edgy) users:

Install prerequisites:

sudo aptitude install checkinstall subversion autoconf jam g++ libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libphysfs-dev libvorbis-dev libogg-dev libopenal-dev

tar xvfj supertux-0.3.0.tar.bz2
cd supertux-0.3.0

Fix the level names to work around an installer bug:

cd data/levels/world1/
sed -i -e "s/ - .*\.stl/.stl/" worldmap.stwm
for f in *" "-" "*.stl; do mv "$f" "${f/ - *.stl/.stl}"; done
cd ../../..

Compile:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
jam

If you want to uninstall it later:

sudo aptitude remove supertux

Awesome! Supertux is the best. Great guide! Thanks.

Since someone will no doubt ask, there is a Windows installer at the aforementioned download link, but it does not include the required OpenAL libraries. Windows users will need to download and install OpenAL separately.

sudo apt-get install g++ checkinstall jam libsdl1.2-dev libvorbis-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libphysfs-dev libopenal-dev

and probably some other stuff.

Oh, you’d already written that and I missed it. Feeling stupid right now…

Yuck checkinstall…

Here a real debian package: http://debs.peadrop.com/dists/edgy/backports/

This should be the package that will be included into the next release of Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn). Enjoy!
