There should be a sticky in here with how to install on linux, with where and how to download the binaries the standard ./configure and make stuff and anything else that is relevant. So if someone who knows these things could sticky that would be great.

Perhaps this thread should be stickied.
There are a couple other startup threads that are works-in-progress.

For a sticky the first post should have all the relevent information, not info spread across replies.

following the directions verbatim in the setup wiki does not work. In the end, running the executable results in this error:
Code: Select all
ERROR: DotfileHandler
Could not write to config file
I got this after cleaning everything out and just getting and compiling the latest trunk. I resolved it by creating a file in my home folder called .springrc, but now I get other errors like
Code: Select all
WARNING: can not access data directory: /usr/local/games/taspring/
using read-write data directory: /home/keithjr/
Warning: Incorrect/Missing content:
Luxi.ttf: FT_New_Face failed: no error
I'll keep working on this and I will update the wiki myself, it is missing steps.

@keithjr
Code: Select all
mkdir /etc/springdir
echo "/path/to/spring" > /etc/spring/datadir/datadir
Note u can use stuff like $HOME i.e global env. But ~ wont work

thanks! I'll add this to my post. And perhaps the wiki as well. That seems important. Does the binary make other assumptions as to what directories must exist?
