Building Exult on Kubuntu

[Annorax]

I am trying to build the latest version of Exult on Kubuntu. I've been a very long time Exult user on Windows but am trying to learn Linux and therefore trying this out. When running configure, I get the following:

configure: error: *** must have Ogg/Vorbis installed!

But I have installed vorbis-tools, libogg0, liboggplay1 and a couple other seemingly related packages but I still get this. Can someone please tell me what specific package I must install?

[Dominus]

You need to install the devel or development packages

[marzo]

Try installing libogg-dev.

[Annorax]

Thank you both for the fast replies. With libogg-dev and libvorbis-dev, configure runs fine but make does not. This is 1.4.9rc1. Any ideas? Looks to be some errors in the code maybe?

This might be fixed in SVN - which I highly recommend using over 1.4.9rc1
Or
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/GCC4.6

[Annorax]

Thanks again for the reply. I've gotten the code from SVN (and also installed two more packages, flex and byacc) and now I'm seeing this error.

Please use only SVN and not parts of it. That won't fix that problem of usecod compiler but you can disable it from configure

[Annorax]

Thanks for the tip. I extracted the SVN download to the same folder as before... probably not the best idea. Getting the SVN via "svn co https://exult.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/exult exult" and then running autogen/configure/make was successful.

One final question - not sure if this is a question for the Exult team or not. The Kubuntu repository has the latest version of Exult at 1.2, circa 2004 - hence why I wanted to build from source to get a recent version. How do programs get into these repositories, ie is it the developers of the program or of the Linux distro?

[Dominus]

Good you got it going now

I don't know how the programs get into repositories but when they get in there, most distros are strict and will only allow final versions in their repository. Since our last version out was a release candidate, most will not carry it...
