« Installing Subversion The fs2_open on Linux Guide
Installing the Development Libraries
Acquiring the Code »

Note: This step is only for those who want the bleeding-edge source code to compile on their own. You can skip this if you intend to use a provided binary executable.

Note: If your distribution is not listed below and you are familiar with how to install the needed libraries on it, please add that information to this section.


To build FS2 Open, you'll need the SDL, OpenAL, libvorbis, libtheora, readline, liblua (version 5.1.3 or higher), and OpenGL (most likely provided with your video card driver) development packages. And of course, you'll need the GNU Compiler Collection and make.


Ubuntu and Linux Mint (except for Debian Edition) users should run:

$ apt-get install libopenal-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev build-essential automake1.10 autoconf libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libreadline6-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev liblua5.1-0-dev
Note: The build-essential package is a metapackage that installs the essential build tools.


Debian and Linux Mint Debian Edition users should run:

$ apt-get install libopenal-dev libvorbis-dev build-essential automake1.10 autoconf libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libreadline6-dev libpng12-dev liblua5.1-0-dev
Note: The build-essential package is a metapackage that installs the essential build tools.


Fedora Core users (and most likely Red Hat users too) should run:

$ yum install openal-devel libvorbis-devel gcc gcc-c++ automake autoconf SDL-devel libtheora-devel readline-devel lua-devel


Gentoo users should run:

$ emerge -va openal libvorbis libsdl libtheora readline liblua
Note: media-libs/openal needs the "alsa" USE-flag if you intend to use ALSA, and media-libs/libsdl needs the "X","opengl" and "xv" USE-flags.


Mandriva users should run:

$ urpmi libsdl-devel libopenal-devel libvorbis-devel libtheora-devel gcc gcc-c++ automake autoconf liblua-devel
