| − | 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.

| − | === The easy way ===
| |
| − | * [[Find out if you have a 32bit or 64bit system]] | |
| − | * If you have a 32bit Intel system, visit http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=freeciv and download the i586 variant of freeciv
| |
| − | * If you have a x86_64 system, visit http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=freeciv and download the x86_64 variant of freeciv
| |
| − | * [[install]] the [[rpm]] [[package]] using the [[command]]
| |
| − | rpm -ivh freeciv-*.rpm
| |
| − | | |
| − | === The hard way ===
| |
| − | If for some reason the easy way does not work, here is how you can get freeciv the hard way:
| |
| − | This is an example that worked on 2010-11-06 with freeciv 2.2.3 on SUSE Linux 11.3
| |
| − | * Install some [[dependencies]]
| |
| − | yast -i lib[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layer SDL]-devel libSDL-image-devel sdl-mixer-devel sdl-mixer-devel [[gcc-c++]] [[make]]
| |
| − | * Download the source from http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
| |
| − | 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
| |
| − | * run it using the command
| |
| − | freeciv-gtk '''-P sdl'''
| |
| − | If you do leave out '''-P sdl''', you will not be able to hear sound.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 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
| |
| − | * Download the source from http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
| |
| − | * compile the code
| |
| − | bunzip2 freeciv-2.1.8.tar.bz2
| |
| − | tar xvf freeciv-2.1.8.tar
| |
| − | cd freeciv-2.1.8
| |
| − | ./configure && make -j4 && make install
| |
| − | Run it using the command
| |
| − | civclient
| |
| − | | |
| − | = TroubleShooting =
| |
| − | == No sound in freeciv ==
| |
| − | Whenever you move a unit in a freeciv game, you should hear a sound. If you cannot, [[Sound TroubleShooting|check the usual cable and driver stuff]]. If it still does not work your freeciv may have been compiled in a wrong way. So, enter
| |
| − | freeciv-gtk2 --help
