Fs2 open on Linux/Compiling PCS2

This is a quick guide for compiling PCS2 on Linux

(it's rough so far because I didn't know anything about scons before today...)

Ubuntu 12.04 (and derivatives like Linux Mint 13)

Install the following dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install scons git libdevil-dev wx2.8-headers libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dbg libboost-regex1.46-dev libboost-system1.46-dev libboost-filesystem1.46-dev

Checkout a copy of the code:

$ git clone git://alliance.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/alliance/PCS2

Modify scons to include the SDL libs; apply the patch below

$ 

<source> diff --git a/SConstruct b/SConstruct index 5619622..948ffeb 100644 --- a/SConstruct +++ b/SConstruct @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ import string

</source>

Build PCS2

$ cd PCS2
$ scons

Copy pcs2 to somewhere in your path

$ sudo cp pcs2 /usr/local/bin 
$ sudo cp pcs2d /usr/local/bin
