SammyWilson: /* Compiling */

Not all Distributions are always at the state of the current release. If you want to be sure to have the current version, please get the sources and compile it yourself.

== Arch Linux ==
* For the official pkg from [extra]: <code>pacman -S wesnoth</code>
* There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9600 AUR].

== Ark Linux ==
* Ark Linux includes an official wesnoth package, currently at version 1.7.0. Simply use the package installation tool to install the wesnoth package, or run <code>apt-get update; apt-get install wesnoth</code> (or <code>apt-get -t dockyard-devel install wesnoth</code> if you wish to run the current development version of wesnoth with all other packages from the stable tree)
* Users of other similar distributions can download the packages at [http://arklinux.osuosl.org/dockyard-devel the Ark Linux file server]. They are likely to run on any rpm based distribution that uses a recent version of gcc (>= 4.0) and glibc (>= 2.4).

== Debian ==
* <code>aptitude install wesnoth</code> (use <code>wesnoth-all</code> if you want to pull in all the campaigns and the editor, too)
* [http://packages.debian.org/wesnoth Official packages] including the development releases in the experimental branch
* [http://backports.org/ backports.org] offers the stable wesnoth releases for Debian stable, see http://wiki.debian.org/Backports for more informations.

===International language support===
Debian does not come with all locales. If you can't choose your language, you need to add locale for your lang.
see man locale.gen for more info.
quick guide for lenny: uncomment locales you want in /etc/locale.gen, then as root run "locale-gen".

===Compiling===

If you want to play with the SVN version directly you may have to compile [http://www.diamondlinks.net/link building] it yourself. See [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth].

'''To install the dependencies:'''

You can use a neat trick: Use the Build-Dependencies of the Debian package.

Just do an <code>aptitude build-dep wesnoth</code>. That will pull in most you need. As of 1.4 stable wesnoth, the dependencies also include all of the "Boost" libraries, if you are using Debian stable/etch sources.list you need to also <code>aptitude install libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-test-dev</code>.

'''To compile it:''' 
If you have already installed an older version of wesnoth, uninstall it by:

<code>aptitude purge wesnoth</code>

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your [http://www.mycaal.com/loan modification] home directory in the folder <code>.wesnoth</code>. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnoth Compiling Wesnoth] page, no need to duplicate that informations in here. :)

== Ubuntu ==

[http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/wesnoth Click here] to install the latest version of the <code>wesnoth</code> packaged for your release. Alternatively, search for "wesnoth" in the ''Ubuntu Software Center'' or use following command:

sudo apt-get install wesnoth

===Available Versions===

Different releases of Ubuntu provide different versions of Wesnoth in their repositories. Often, this version will be older than the most current Wesnoth. Red cells denote old, now unsupported Ubuntu releases.

===Compiling===

If you choose to build Wesnoth from source you should add the datadir flag to ''configure'' to ensure your installation puts the data in the same place as the official installation path:

cd /usr/src
tar -xvjf wesnoth-1.x.x.tar.bz2
cd wesnoth-1.x.x
./configure --datadir=/usr/share/games ...
make
sudo make install



== Fedora ==
Battle for Wesnoth is included in [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora]. The current version of Battle for Wesnoth is available for ppc, i386, and x86_64 architectures. If you have problems with these packages, or other questions, please contact the Fedora maintainer [mailto:limb_AT_jcomserv.net Jon Ciesla].

To install simply run:
* <code>yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server</code>

== Gentoo ==
For the stable release just type:
* <code>emerge wesnoth</code>

For the development release you will have to fetch an overlay, eg from this site:
http://www.dorf.wh.uni-dortmund.de/priv/markus/wesnoth-dev.tbz
extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type
<code>emerge wesnoth-dev</code>
The ebuild will be updated whenever the person creating the ebuild finds the time to do so.

Or if you're too impatient to wait and willing to take the risk of things blowing up, download
and extract the overlay, make a copy of the highest available ebuild version, but change the version number to
that of Wesnoth version you want (for instance, wesnoth-dev-1.3.2.ebuild might become
wesnoth-dev-1.3.8.ebuild ), run
<code>ebuild [new ebuild file] digest</code>
and then try to emerge. It may or may not work, depending on exactly how extensive the changes in the Wesnoth
source are--going from 1.3.2 to 1.3.8 this way worked for me.
There's an ebuild for 1.5.8 on Gentoo Bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256513

For building from svn tree download the portage overlay from:
http://www.dorf.wh.uni-dortmund.de/priv/markus/wesnoth-svn.tbz
extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type
<code>emerge wesnoth-svn</code>

wesnoth-dev are the official development releases
while wesnoth-svn will build straight from SVN-source tree to keep you up to date with the lastest changes and all the errors ;-)
updating wesnoth-svn will not work ! you have to reemerge it each time you want to update !

Note: Neither wesnoth-dev nor wesnoth-svn seem to be maintained (as seen Nov 2009). The easiest way
should be downloading the source and following the instructions to build wesnoth in the source directory
with cmake and as a normal user. Inside the source directory start with ''./wesnoth'', as opposed
to ''wesnoth'' from your portage tree.

== Mandriva ==
<code>urpmi wesnoth</code>

or use the GUI installer (in the Control Centre)

To install Battle for Wesnoth 1.8 in Mandriva 2009,2009.1 and 2010 you need to enable the contrib backports repo: you can do this in the Mandriva Control Centre .

== Pardus ==
* Run Package Manager, click Games section, select Wesnoth and click install.
* If you prefer to install Wesnoth from command line type <code>pisi it wesnoth</code>.

== Slackware ==

* Slackbuilds for Battle for Wesnoth on Slackware 13 are for 1.6.5. Developmental branch requires you to edit a new line between 65 & 66 with './autogen.sh' in addition to changing the version number in the wesnoth.SlackBuild script.

* Packages of Battle for Wesnoth for Slackware 12.2 can be downloaded from [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?sear=wesnoth&ver=6 slacky.eu] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.6.3

* Building from source using SlackBuild script for Slackware 12.2 [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/games/wesnoth/ SlackBuilds.org] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.6.1 Note: Probably could be used for building newer 1.6.x version.

Note: Depends on boost package (+ icu package if you use binary from slacky.eu), so it should be installed before installing Battle for Wesnoth binary or compiling from source.

Install boost and icu binary from slacky.eu [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?sear=boost&ver=6 boost] [http://slacky.eu/aadm/pkgs/index.php?ver=6&sear=icu icu]

Compile boost from source using SlackBuild script [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/development/boost/ SlackBuilds.org]

* Installation:
