Can't compile asc 1.16.2.0

[Titeuf]

I'm trying to compile the latest version of advanced strategic command from sources.
I've installed every -dev package it requires, and configure runs fine.
But make gives an error:

So this gives an error, anyone know how to fix this ?

This looks more like a compiler issue, than a gaming issue - try that forum and you may get a better response.

Cheers,

The package libsvga1 provides the required libvga.so. I don't know, why asc should need this, because it's used for showing graphics in console mode, but installing it should solve your linker error.

Ok, thanks for that.
