Spring RTS Engine

I am trying to install spring with the APT I try all the commands here is what I get. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 x86

deten@stephen-laptop:~$ wget -q http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu/387EE263.gpg -O- | \ sudo apt-key add -
bash: : command not found


deten@stephen-laptop:~$ sudo wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu/ ... gutsy.list \ -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/springproject.list

That appears to not be working, so I try the commands beneath it:

deten@stephen-laptop:~$ wget -q http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Can someone help me out please. thanks

the key and sources.list are missing for some time i think, you'd have to contact yokozar about that
in the meantime: http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu/pool/main/s/

Thats a shame, the APT system is really user friendly... I tried compiling before and i ran into some issues... though now I am a little more comfortable I will think about trying.

Thanks

Wait, wait, wait. That's not how you should add the PPA.

Go to System - Administration - Software Sources, click on the third-party tab, add, and paste this line in:
After that, close, let it reload. Then open up the synaptic package manager (system - administration), click on search, select "name", and search for the word "spring".

You'll get a bunch of results - all are about spring except the "springgraph" and "springide". The rest are the engine, the client to the engine (spring lobby), and a ton of maps. I'd install them all.

After you got it installed, Spring Lobby will be in your games list. The only problem right now though is that while we got the maps, we need the mods (spring itself is just an engine. Useless without a mod to play it with). And they aren't uploaded to the PPA yet.

So hang tight a bit!

There a chance you can update the wiki

:) I am kinda new to this whole thing, I appreciate the help!

I just walked into the errors too, it's pretty easily to tell users to just add it via synaptic

Has anyone managed an install on 8.04 yet?

I tried the obvious but had no luck. I even tried installing the i386.deb file from http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu/ ... /s/spring/ which at least gave me a readable error of 'Dependency is not satisfiable: libglewl.4'

As a NooB to Linux I am not sure about the above error but guess it is a V7/V8 issue.

I reluctantly looked at the Wine option but found you need the native install first so that quickly went out the window.

Ack, you got 8.04 installed a bit too early . That's also the reason why I didn't upgrade my 7.10 yet - since 8.04 isn't officially out yet, not many places are supporting it.

I guess you should try the generic installer for now:

Until Yokozar (maintainer of the PPA) enables the 8.04 stuff.

Let me know how that goes though for you.

I'm going to upgrade my machine to 8.04 Hardy today, and then update the PPA to support it.

Sweet. Ill download the new version in the morning then? LOL!

Maybe you should compile from source.
