Freeciv is one of the best Linux games, but hard and complicated to install. With it, you can be the leader of a civilization and conquer the world. Decide if you want to go to war, develop your science or build world wonders and so on.

Install it

To install it, find out your distribution and proceed accordingly:

SUSE Linux 11.3

This is an example that worked on 2010-11-06 with freeciv 2.2.3 on SUSE Linux 11.3

  • Install SDL, a multimedia framework, and some other packages
yast -i libSDL-devel libSDL-image-devel sdl-mixer-devel sdl-mixer-devel gcc-c++ make
bunzip2 freeciv-2.2.3.tar.bz2
tar xvf freeciv-2.2.3.tar
cd freeciv-2.2.3
./configure --enable-client=sdl && make -j8 && make install

SUSE Linux 11.1

This is an example that works with freeciv 2.1.8 on SUSE Linux 11.1, but it should work with every distribution.

  • Install SDL mixer devel
yast -i sdl-mixer-devel
bunzip2 freeciv-2.1.8.tar.bz2
tar xvf freeciv-2.1.8.tar
cd freeciv-2.1.8
./configure && make -j4 && make install
