GNU/Linux

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]: pacman -S wesnoth
  • dibblethewrecker also provides regular SVN snapshots. Please see [[ http://dtw.jiwe.org/content.php?article.9 | here]] for details of how to access the repo. As development of wesnoth continues this repo is likely to follow the unstable branch.

Ark Linux

  • Ark Linux includes an official wesnoth package, currently at version 1.1.3. Simply use the package installation tool to install the wesnoth package, or run apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade.
  • Users of other similar distributions can download the packages at 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

===> about this backport, maybe an issue with an unresolvable dependancy, the "ttf-dejavu" package which is required but does not belong to sarge main archive. If someone could confirm ? [ 4 october 2005 ]This package is required but it is in backports for sarge "deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main" and works without any problems [24.05.2006].

====> 8 October: adding 

deb http://ftp.tr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb-src http://ftp.tr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main

to /etc/apt/sources.list, 

Package: wesnoth
Pin: version 1.0-1sarge*
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: wesnoth-data
Pin: version 1.0-1sarge*
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600

to /etc/apt/preferences and then installing ttf-dejavu with 

apt-get install -t unstable ttf-dejavu

worked for me ;-)

Compiling

If you want to install the latest Development version you may have to compile it yourself. See Compiling Wesnoth.

To install the dependencies : aptitude install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libfreetype6-dev

Remains one package : libintl which isn't in the Debian packages database, but I think you can install it by

aptitude install gettext

If someone may confirm that ...

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

aptitude purge wesnoth

Note that will remove all your wesnoth configuration. Then, download the source by wget, or your internet navigator. Save it in the /usr/src directory. Now, it's very easy : 

cd /usr/src
tar -xvzf wesnoth-1.x.x.tar.gz
cd wesnoth-1.x.x
./configure
make
make install

You may have more information about this part in the Compiling Wesnoth page.

Ubuntu

Battle for Wesnoth 1.0.1-1 is included in Ubuntu Dapper's universe collection. This is the latest stable release. As this is not the latest version, Breezy users will need to do one of the following to obtain the latest version:

  • Upgrade to the Dapper Drake, or
  • Use the Breezy-Backports repository,
  • Use an unofficial repository, or
  • Build from the source per Debian above, or
  • Use the generic binary for GNU/Linux found on the Download page.

Of these options, the final one is most likely the easiest at this time, while building from source is the most reliable.

See the Ubuntu Starter Guide's section on adding the universe repositories.

Do not attempt to install the debian package and associated dependencies using dpkg as you will break your environment!

Compiling

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

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

Fedora Core

Battle for Wesnoth is included in Fedora Extras, which is enabled in Fedora Core 4 by default.

Gentoo

For the stable release just type:

  • emerge wesnoth

For the development release or for building from svn tree download the portage overlay from: http://www.blackhole.de.ms/gentoo/wesnoth-dev.tbz or http://www.blackhole.de.ms/gentoo/wesnoth-svn.tbz extract it to your local overlay-directory and then type

  • emerge wesnoth-dev

or

  • emerge wesnoth-svn

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 !

klik

  • The most easy way to testdrive BfW is provided via klik. klik enables clients to create distribution-independent binaries which require no "installation" (the base system remains untouched); its created "AppDir" bundles run even from USB stick or CD RW. klik support is pre-enabled on Knoppix and Kanotix Live CDs. Other distros need to install a small klik client (less than 20 kByte download, less than 20 seconds effort). See the klik FAQ for details. A BfW-specific klik website has links to help with the package. Once the klik client is installed, look at this:
    • Wesnoth-1.0 stable Version: to "klik" it, type klik://wesnoth into your Browser
    • Wesnoth-1.1.1 Development-Version: to "klik" it, type klik://wesnoth-latest into your Browser
