How to install TMW on my GNU/Debian Box ================================================== Author: FERREIRA Yohann (Bertram) Email: Bertram@cegetel.net The Mana World project ====================== Homepage: http://themanaworld.org/ IRC: irc.freenode.net / #themanaworld 1) Installing The Mana World and dependencies 2) Creating a Debian Package using DebHelper Tools 3) Notes 1. Installing The Mana World and Dependencies ============================================= The Mana World Debian Package can be installed under the Debian Testing and Unstable (Sarge/Sid). In order to have Mana World working, you'll need packages for SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, libxml2, libphysfs and libguichan0. To install the dependencies, you can do type (as root): apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-image1.2 libxml2 libphysfs-1.0-0 libguichan0 Type tmw as a normal user to play! (Enjoy!) 2. Creating a Debian Package using DebHelper Tools ================================================== You'll need the gcc, g++ and dev packages of dependencies: apt-get install gcc g++ libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev And the debhelper tools: apt-get install dh-make fakeroot dpkg-dev build-essentials Download tmw from Subversion using the command (You'll need Subversion installed on your system): svn https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/themanaworld/tmw/trunk tmw Rename the tmw folder into tmw-XXX and open a console in it. You can now type: fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage The package will create itself, including sources and diffs. You only need deb file. Install it: dpkg -i tmw_XXXXXX_i386.deb (If you've got a previous one already installed with the same version number, don't forget to remove it with :) apt-get remove tmw (Don't worry, you configuration files are not removed...) And now the final step: type 'tmw' as a normal user in a shell and you're in! KDE/GNOME menu entries are created in Arcade Games upon installation. 3. Notes ======== A Debian Repository has been created. Simply add in your /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://bertram.ifrance.com ./ deb-src http://bertram.ifrance.com ./ Then, as root, do: apt-get update apt-get install tmw and you're done! N.B.: The tmw-music, libguichan0, and libguichan0-dev packages are also provided in this repository.
