Contents
Installation from packages
Install original game and WoG addon in this directory
/usr/share/vcmi/
This should give you directory structure like this:
/usr/share/vcmi/Data /usr/share/vcmi/Mp3 /usr/share/vcmi/Maps ...
Install VCMI data package in the same directory.
Download and install package for your distributive. To install package along with all dependencies:
sudo dpkg -i downloaded_package.deb sudo apt-get -f install
Note: First command most probably will result in errors - this is normal behavior, all of them should be fixed by apt-get
To start the game:
vcmiclient
Packages
- Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) 32 bit
- Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) 64 bit
- Debian testing/sid 32 bit
- Debian testing/sid 64 bit
Other Debian-based distibutives
VCMI requires g++-4.5 and boost-1.46 which are unavailable on Debian stable and Ubuntu 10.10 or lower. If you'll manage to install them you can compile VCMI from source code.
Another (and probably more safe) option is to create chroot enviroment (how-to). This will allow to install package from another distributive.
Other Linux distibutives
Currently VCMI supports generation of .deb packages only. Patches to add support of other package formats are welcomed.
Compiling from source
For compiling from source see README.linux file. You can get packaged source here
Bugs
Report any issues with packages on our bugtracker or post a message on VCMI forums
