[2up]knorke 11 years ago I think if ubuntu/linux users follow the download page that will get them spring 93. To play 91 is needed. +0 / -0

TheSponge 11 years ago (edited 11 years ago) Currently in ubuntu spring 91.0 is available in the standard repositories. EDIT:Not actually the standard repositories but aiphee explained below. +0 / -0
NeonSturm 11 years ago download page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/springrts/files/springrts/) If you have DLed an archive into ~/Downloads/spring_91.0/*, you unpack it and: [code]name@computer:~$ cd ~/Downloads/spring_91.0 name@computer:~/Downloads/spring_91.0$ cmake ./ name@computer:~/Downloads/spring_91.0$ make[/code] and you've got a working version. spring_91.0 contains both 'spring' and 'libunitsync.so'. if you move the archive to any folder (for example ~/.spring/engines/) and simply do cmake and make (without make install), you only have to relink your lobby to these two files when you join a host with a different engine. How you do it or if it does it automatically, is another topic. +0 / -0

[DDAM]aiphee 11 years ago (edited 11 years ago) as mentioned, Spring 91 dont have static build and is in repositories. You can just add repository, for ubuntu: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:spring/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install spring then just run springlobby (or better notalobby, but there you have to set paths) paths: spring folder: /home/YOU/.spring executable folder: /usr/games/spring lib*.so folder: /usr/lib/spring/libunitsync.so +0 / -0

IcyIcyIce 11 years ago As I said in a post like 2 days ago, download make build and install the new spring (93.2) then run autoconfigure in spring settings so it loads the new engine and libs, after that insert the path to the old engine ... it will still say you are incompatible adn will desync, but having the new library will force the game to let you play ... I use this solution for a week and have no problems or desync +0 / -0
Licho 11 years ago Knorke, ZKL actually downloads static build of 91.0 (yes it exists though its not reliable). The apt-get install spring is there just to get some libs which might be missing in ubuntu in general. ZKL wont use it +0 / -0
[DDAM]aiphee 11 years ago (edited 11 years ago) Its old topic. Anyway, im playing only 3 days, when i found that on my 64b os works only build from weblobby marked as 32b... http://springweblobby.googlecode.com/files/spring_91.0_portable_linux_i686.zip Weird think also is that i can use that build only in ZK Lobby, because i cant switch to 91 build in weblobby nor NOTALobby. https://code.google.com/p/springweblobby/issues/detail?id=7 I am so looking forward for new Spring release and hoping that t will be (almost)bug-free, 91 is terribly slow and often unplayable on Linux. +0 / -0
[2up]knorke 11 years ago Yes, old thread. The download page has been edited multiple times since then. I only posted this because some new player got wrong version by following instruction from that page. +0 / -0
