Compiling Wesnoth Using SuSE 10.x

This is the most simple way to compile Wesnoth. Not optimal, however, but easy. You can use copy and paste.


  1. Install with YaST SDL, SDL_image,SDL_mixer, SDL_net, freelibs from install CD\DVD

Note: That does not work on some computers. If you keep getting 'error: Install ... first' messages, you might prefer installing those packages from source, including the SDL main package (http://www.libsdl.org).

Note: An update to Anatoly's how-to. These instructions also work for OpenSUSE 10.2, and 10.3 with the additional requirement that 10.3 definitely required the -devel packages in additoin to the standard SDL_*. 10.2 may have needed this packages but I cannot remember for certain.

Now open console & switch to root.

There are two symlinks missing in SuSE 10.0's lib directory. Wesnoth's configure script will not run without it. - This also happens to be the case in Fedora 4 when installed using yum. Don't forget to make libSDL_net.so to!

  1. cd /usr/lib/
  2. ln -s ./libSDL_image-1.2.so.0-bla-bla-bla ./libSDL_image.so
  3. ln -s ./libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0-bla-bla-bla ./libSDL_mixer.so

On SuSE 10.0, by default .rpm distributives libSDL_image and libSDL_mixers .h files were not copied to the SDL dir. Repairing this now.

  1. mkdir /usr/local/src/inst
  2. cd /usr/local/src/inst
  3. wget http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release/SDL_mixer-1.2.6.tar.gz
  4. wget http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL_image-1.2.4.tar.gz
  5. tar -zxvf ./SDL_mixer-1.2.6.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src/inst
  6. tar -zxvf ./SDL_image-1.2.4.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src/inst
  7. cp /usr/local/src/inst/SDL_mixer-1.2.6/SDL_mixer.h /usr/include/SDL
  8. cp /usr/local/src/inst/SDL_image-1.2.4/SDL_image.h /usr/include/SDL

Now downloading source of Wesnoth and trying to compile.

  1. wget http://citkit.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wesnoth/wesnoth-1.0.2.tar.gz
  2. tar -zxvf ./wesnoth-1.0.2.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src/inst
  3. cd /usr/local/src/inst/wesnoth-1.0.2/
  4. ./configure (if you work in KDE - type "./configure --with-kde" or "--with-gnome" for GNOME. If you need some more - type "./configure --help" & read. :) )
  5. make
  6. make install

If everything's all right - remove source. (If you need this.)

  1. cd ~
  2. rm -r /usr/local/src/inst
