Revision as of 17:06, 27 April 2013

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
  • There's a wesnoth-devel package for development releases in AUR.

Debian

  • aptitude install wesnoth
    (use wesnoth-all if you want to pull in all the campaigns and the editor, too)
  • Official packages including the development releases. You need to explicitly request which branch version of wesnoth you want, e.g. 1.8 (stable) or 1.10 (development)
  • backports.debian.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 repository version directly you may have to compile it yourself. See Compiling Wesnoth.

To install the dependencies:

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

Just do an aptitude build-dep wesnoth. That will pull in most you need.

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

aptitude purge wesnoth

Note that this will not remove downloaded data or savegames which are stored in your home directory in the folder .wesnoth. From this point on you can simply follow the advices from the Compiling Wesnoth page, no need to duplicate that informations in here. :)

Ubuntu

Click here to install the latest version of the wesnoth 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.

Release Packaged Version
13.04 (Raring) 1.10
12.10 (Quantal) 1.10
12.04 (Precise) 1.10
11.10 (Oneiric) 1.8, and 1.10 with backports enabled
11.04 (Natty) 1.8, and 1.10 with backports enabled
10.04 LTS (Lucid) 1.6, and 1.10 with backports enabled

Repos with newer vesions

You can get the very latest version from the Software Center by enabling backports, see here.

PlayDeb usually has the latest version very promptly, as well.

If you are interested in the development version of wesnoth, you can get it from this PPA: ppa:rhonda/wesnoth-devel

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 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 Jon Ciesla.

To install simply run:

  • yum install wesnoth wesnoth-tools wesnoth-server

Gentoo

For the stable release just type:

  • emerge wesnoth

We don't currently know an emerge recipe for building the current development release. There was one in former times, but that method bit-rotted in 2009.

Mandriva / Rosa

stable version: urpmi wesnoth

development version: urpmi wesnoth-unstable

or use the GUI installer (in the Control Centre)

To install latest Battle for Wesnoth version in currently supported Mandriva releases 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 pisi it wesnoth.

Slackware/SalixOS

  • Packages of Battle for Wesnoth for Slackware 14 can be downloaded from [1] Latest Wesnoth build: 1.10.5
  • SalixOS is a Slackware-derived distribution that aims to provide packages that are also backwards-compatible with Slackware. The latest Wesnoth build in the SalixOS repositories for Slackware14 and SalixOS 14 is 1.10.4.
  • Building from source using SlackBuild script from SlackBuilds.org. Slackbuilds for Battle for Wesnoth on Slackware 14 are for 1.10.6. 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.

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.
