Help installing Vega Strike in Mint 13 KDE 64bit

[Orn]

I'm having quite a bit of headache installing Vega strike on mint 13 kde 64bit. I downloaded the tar file from the sourceforge page.
This is what I did in the terminal.

Code: Select all

ornim@ornim-desktop ~/Documents/vega $ sudo chmod +x vsinstall.sh
ornim@ornim-desktop ~/Documents/vega $ sudo ./vsinstall.sh
                     ==== VEGA STRIKE 0.5.0 ====


I am installing 64-bit binaries.

This script needs your password to link the following commands 
 into '/usr/bin': vegastrike vegaserver vssetup mesher

Do you wish to grant administrator access to install these binaries?
Type yes or no: y
Installation successful!

Do you want to run 'vssetup'? [yes]/no? yes
./vsinstall.sh: line 108: vssetup: command not found
Settings should now be configured.

Type 'vegastrike' at a terminal to play VS!  Press any key to exit.

After opening a new terminal this was the result.

Code: Select all

ornim@ornim-desktop ~ $ vegastrike
vegastrike: command not found

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ehm... I don't think vsinstall is being maintained.

You should follow the instructions in the wiki for building, and the ones in the release announcement to set up the data packages.

I'm thinking, next release we must include instructions in the tarballs.

thanks klauss for the response, I tried with cmake now I'm getting the dreaded CmakeLists error

steps I took

Code: Select all

ornim@ornim-desktop ~/Documents/vega $ mkdir build
ornim@ornim-desktop ~/Documents/vega $ cd build
ornim@ornim-desktop ~/Documents/vega/build $ ccmake ..

afterwards

Code: Select all

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/ornim/Documents/vega" does not appear to contain
 CMakeLists.txt.
 Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

[klauss]

That doesn't seem right. Which package did you download (sources or data)? Was it downloaded correctly? Does its checksum check out alright?

[Orn]

I downloaded the data files namely this "vegastrike-data-0.5.1.r1.tar.bz2". Checksum checks out okay. Did I do something wrong?


okay I now downloaded the source files "vegastrike-src-0.5.1.r1.tar.bz2"

and followed the cmake instructions now this shows up

[klauss]

What? FFmpeg isn't "required"...

Another bug in CMakeLists... anyway, if you do install ffmpeg, you should have no problem.

[Orn]

FFmpeg still didn't solve the problem I'm still getting the same error as before

[klauss]

Are you sure you installed the devel package? It should work with the devel package installed.

[Orn]

yes I did, does it have do with the fact that the OS is 64bit?

[klauss]

I don't think so. Post the messages again, maybe they only look the same.

[Orn]

this is the messaged for the devel packages

I seem to be the only one having the problem

[klauss]

I meant the error messages ccmake spits out, where it says what's missing.

[Orn]

its the same error as before

[klauss]

Um... svn up and check again (I made ffmpeg not required in FindFFMPEG)
