[SOLVED] Help with WZ2100

[Proudhon]

I downloaded the 2.3.5 but I don't know how to install it.

[beefstu]

Well you can do it the hard way and compile it from source or the easy way and find it in the software centre where it will install it for you - just search for "warzone"

[Proudhon]

Is that an old version?

[Proudhon]

How do I compile it from source?

[beefstu]

One in software manager is 2.2.4 whereas one from website is 2.3.5 so yeah guess it is kinda old.

There's a pretty good looking and comprehensive guide on the WZ forums here http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/LinuxCompileGuide

[Proudhon]

Okay, I ran everything from http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/LinuxCompileGuide but when I run "make install" I get this.

[beefstu]

well there's one line

Permission denied

that suggests it possibly has to be run as root - so you could try

Code: Select all

sudo make install

Its often considered poor advice to say "if it doesn't work as normal, try root" but I think its the best first port of call in this instance.

Thanks, and "src/warzone2100" works fine after "make"
