You don't need to install it IIRC; just cd into the directory and there should be a binary to run. I'm on a Windows PC right now so can't be specific, sorry.

No need to install it ;)

Launch a Konsole and in it type :


cd name of directory you downloaded the game/sauerbraten
./sauerbraten_unix &

Good play \\:D/

I got this error when i tried

root@kyle:~/Desktop/sauerbraten# ./sauerbraten_unix
./bin_unix/linux_client: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Type this in a terminal - 'sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2'. Then try again.

This works and all, cd'ing into the directory but I need to create a launcher so It needs to be one string. So if I:/home/atm/.sauerbraten/sauerbraten_unix
I get this:
/home/atm/.sauerbraten/sauerbraten_unix: line 39: /home/atm/bin_unix/linux_client: No such file or directory

Line 39 from the script is:
cd ${CUBE_DIR}
exec ${CUBE_DIR}/bin_unix/${MACHINE_PREFIX}${SYSTEM_PREFIX}client $*
Im just trying to make a desktop launcher.

Well if cd name of directory you downloaded the game/sauerbraten
./sauerbraten_unix & works for you, then to create a launcher you can use
sh -c "cd <game directory>/sauerbraten && ./sauerbraten_unix & "

Thanx so much sir. Whats the -c and && for? I think I get the rest.

[MetalMusicAddict]

OK. So if this is my command:
sh -c "cd /home/atm/.sauerbraten && ./sauerbraten_unix &"

Where does a argument go? I need to set a res.

Like this ?
sh -c "cd /home/atm/.sauerbraten && ./sauerbraten_unix & -w1920 -h1200"
Or...
sh -c "cd /home/atm/.sauerbraten && ./sauerbraten_unix &" -w1920 -h1200
Or... Can it be added to a "autoexec.cfg" file? Where should it be created? Im still tryin to get this game figured out.

OK. I got it. I removed the & and the arguments work.
sh -c "cd /home/atm/.sauerbraten && ./sauerbraten_unix -w1920 -h1200"

[seth0x2b]

Since you don't run the game from the command line, the "&" has no use anyway.Glad it worked for you.

Cheers
