Hi all,

short tutorial about creating a ready to install .deb for Debian stable/testing.
Perhaps somebody needs this. If not, this is for my own mind :-D

Tested with Debian Testing(Wheezy) on amd64.

First install the dependencies, you need:

Code:

I also had to symlink lua:

Code:

Navigate to a place, where you want to store the source and checkout: (takes some minutes)

Code:

Go to the build dir and try to start ./cmake.sh

Code:

If everything is fine you can start compiling with: (took me less then 10 Minutes on a Core2Duo laptop with 3GB RAM)

Code:

If you get 100% and no errors (ignore some warnings :-D) you have sucessfully build s25rttr. :-)


NOW you can either install it directly to your system:

Code:

OR

Create a ready to install .deb-package:

Code:

This should create the package without install it to your system, replace $revision withe actual number(e.g. 8493) and $version with the date ( e.g. 20121110).

I searched for a way to fetch these two variables automatically, found this in bzr, propaply there is a much safer way to do this:

Code:

And start:

Code:

If checkinstall do its job without errors you will get a .deb in the builds-dir. Install it with:

Code:

Dont forget you need the original game data to play this wonderful game, before you can play put the the DATA and GFX dirs to:

Code:

and set the permissions:

Code:

Last but not least a script you can place in s25rttr/ to fetch the newest version, compile and generate the deb:

Code:

Have fun! And please report, if somehting is wrong here. Thanks

Hi,

normally you should simply call a "dpkg-buildpackage" inside of the checked-out bzr branch.

[edit]
sorry - you should use bzr-buildpackage/bzr-builddeb instead of the "normal" dpkg variant

That gives me:

Code:

BTW, it seems that the Ubuntu autocompiler on launchpad increased the glibc-version. In Debian theres only 2.13 available, thats the reason why I started building it by myself. :-/

What about packages.siedler25.org?

---

yes karmic is not available anymore, so I think it uses a more recent version on launchpad.

packages.siedler25.org was once a mirror of the launchpad ppa.

I think I will set up the buildservice myself again and for debian variants too

Yes, I used that repo, thats why I asked. Would be great to get the nightlys there.

Thank you!
