Simple way to install game in Linux: use Shell script (Script hosted on GitHub; it downloads stuff from official source repo. To download script from this page: Right-click -> “Save link as…”) |
Outdated: manual guide
First, you should open Terminal program (ctrl+alt+t), and prepare to type in (you can copy-paste from here) some commands.
1) Essentials & libraries
if you have Debian-based Linux*** (Ubuntu, Mint, etc) – your distro package manager is apt, so the needed libraries and build tools can be obtained with:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install autoconf
sudo apt install curl
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libsdl1.2debian libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
***if you use RPM-based linux (Fedora, Centos, openSUSE..) then apt command won’t work for you. RPM-based distro package manager is yum; the command to obtain build tools is something like:
sudo yum group install "Development Tools"and the command to obtain all the needed libraries is:
sudo yum install SDL-devel SDL_ttf-devel SDL_mixer-devel SDL_image-devel
2) Build from sources
Now that you have installed all the needed dependencies and build tools, you can proceed to building the project
- Download sources:
curl -L https://github.com/igroglaz/tangaria/tarball/master | tar xz
by default, it downloads files in the current working directory where it is run, eg
/home/<username>/ - rename downloaded folder from
igroglaz-tangaria-*******to something likePWMA - in terminal – change directory to PWMA:
cd PWMA - run autoconf – macros that produce a shell script configure to generate a Makefile and config header for a project:
autoconf - run the autogen.sh script which generates the configure script (from configure.ac using autoconf) and any files it needs (like creating Makefile.in from Makefile.am using automake):
./autogen.sh - run the configure script which generates Makefile and other files needed to build:
./configure --with-no-install --disable-curses --disable-x11 --enable-sdl
- run the make command which builds the software:
make- run the cp command to copy folder:
cp src/pwmangband . - run the make install command, which installs it:
sudo make install
After executing make install, two binaries will be installed system-wide: pwmangclient and pwmangband (that’s the server). You can execute them from anywhere.
To connect to the server: run pwmangclient and choose to join server: game.tangaria.com
To uninstall the game, run this command from PWMA:
sudo make uninstall
Arch Linux (tested with Manjaro in VirtualBox):
sudo pacman -S autoconf automake gcc glibc make sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf unzip
Please don’t assume that some random key shortcut from your DE is universal…
fixed, thanks 🙂
is it possible to request an official universal (appimages are awesome too BTW) zip of tangaria and assets? it may help jump start the project if it were more easily accessible
https://github.com/igroglaz/Tangaria/archive/refs/heads/dev.zip
sorry if i wasnt clear enough, what i meant was an official prebuilt release like what tomenet provides, along with cross platform assets.
my built binaries do run fine from mx to manjaro and debian, i havent tried building an appimage yet though.
there is a Shell script which could help: https://github.com/igroglaz/Tangaria_release/raw/master/tangaria-setup.sh
> autoconf
configure.ac:231: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_NCURSESW
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:269: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_SDL
> sudo make install
/usr/bin/install: ‘activation.txt’ and ‘/opt/tangaria/PWMA/lib//gamedata/activation.txt’ are the same file
Failed to install activation.txt!

make[1]: *** [../mk/buildsys.mk:430: install] Error 2

Never mind. Shell script works perfect! Just remove this outdated instruction and leave only the link to script.
thanks 🙂 fixed

What is your Linux distribution and version? Please try to update the game version
