YAL Guide
From FreeSpace Wiki
Step by Step guide to building YAL on Linux
- Install the YAL dependencies (see the table below)
- Download YAL (http://vega.livecd.pl/~havner/yal/linux/yal-0.3-rc2.tar.bz2)
- Open a terminal window
- Extract the tarball with tar xjf ~/Downloads/yal-0.3-rc2.tar.bz2 (modify the path if you downloaded the tarball elsewhere)
- cd yal/trunk (still need to double check the extraction path)
- ./build-all.sh
- If there were no errors, you should now have a "bin" directory in yal/trunk
- Make the binary executable with chmod 755 bin/fs2_launcher
- Copy bin/fs2_launcher into your FS2 directory (or anywhere in your $PATH that you like)
- Optional: create a shortcut on your desktop
