Building from git on wheeze

[otyugh]

Hey,
as debian wheeze only use spring 88, I want to update it. After installing all the dependency asked, I get stuck on the following.
I was hoping for a little guidance here !

- I'm currently trying to get a more up to date boost lib. What a mess ! :p

Hey Jk, I think I already met you on IRC for the same question.
So, from your link, what am I supposed to do ? Consider I'm a total moron on this.

-> I fail to install it from source
-> I don't know what to do of the static binaries, I never used such files.
-> native debian wheezy are very outdated, and I guess I'd break things if not building from source.

[jK]

You only need a lobby, the spring binaries don't need to be compiled yourself.
When the lobby is recent enough it will download the linux static builds, that run on any linux.

[gajop]

Well, first off, do you need to build it from source? That is, do you plan to contribute to spring source?
If not, then just using the static binaries seems easier. Many lobbies (e.g. springlobby, weblobby, zero-k lobby, etc.) will download the engine for you, but you can always just download them yourself and extract to a directory.

Get one of the linux static binaries, extract it to a folder and then just run "spring" located inside it. After that it would probably be best if you used a lobby for both online and offline play. Those settings differ based on the lobby, but most often you need to configure a path to the spring executable and the libunitsync library (located in the same folder).

[MetalSucker]

One reason to compile it from source would be to apply custom compiler flags/specific architecture optimizations... however in the case of spring the compile process actually warns that some compiler optimizations can break multiplayer because of timing/sync issues, so static is most likely the way to go.

So @otyugh just download a lobby and that will in turn download any and all required engines, already compiled, somewhere in your homedir, you don't need a system install for this, I was confused about this too being used with apt-get something, but it's not how spring works.
