    Red face HOWTO install cvs xqf??

    Today I tried/failed to install xqf from cvs. Why? Simply because the games I play are until today only supported in the cvs version. So to get a nice browser for Tremulous and especially Warsow (it has only a strange java browser that really works) I went to http://www.linuxgames.com/xqf/docs.shtml#mozTocId355848 and followed what the FAQ told me to do.

    1. Installing needed packages, because the FAQ says:
    Compiling CVS snapshots requires that you have recent versions of automake (at least 1.6), autoconf, libtool and gettext installed. You also need to have both GTK1 and GTK2 development packages installed.
    So I did:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install automake libtool
    which installed autoconf automake1.4 autotools-dev libtool

    2. Getting cvs xqf:
    Code:
    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xqf.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xqf co -P xqf
    3. Create the 'configure' script:
    Code:
    ./autogen.sh
    but then I got this:
    Running gettextize and intltoolize...
    Copying file mkinstalldirs
    Copying file po/Makefile.in.in

    Please add the files
    codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
    progtest.m4
    from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
    or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
    You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

    ./autogen.sh: line 47: intltoolize: command not found
    I found the files, but I have no idea where to copy them to. What is the "autoconf macro directory"? I tried it again with the files in the xqf/ folder, but that didn't seem right from the beginning...

    If somebody could help me I would update this "howto" and maybe help this way people like me to get the newest xqf running. Maybe there is a better and easier way to get it running, or maybe you want to write a script? Everything would be fine

    Re: HOWTO install cvs xqf??

    What version do you require ? Is there no way to add a game by hand ?

    Some xqf version information :

    Dapper has 1.0.4-1
    Edgy has 1.0.4-2 but requires a newer version of libc6
    I just installed xqf 1.0.4-2 from Debian unstable but there were no mentions of tremulous or warshow. So I don't advice you to install it. But if you insist on installing it you can download the package here : http://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/xqf

    Are you sure that XQF from CVS will provide tremulous and warshow ?

    Re: HOWTO install cvs xqf??

    I was told it does. No idea, but I don't think they tricked me

    edit: Yes I checked it, it should be possible. Thats what I found in a NEWS file:
    Changes since 1.0.4:

    o new games: Warsow
    o fix Quake 4 RCON
    o add "Show only configured games" button again
    o fix SOF2 query
    o add new America's Army master server
    o support copying server info values to clipboard
    And after some research I also found this:
    The XQF CVS version ( http://xqf.sourceforge.net/cvs/ ) has support for
    tremulous. But, you have to patch the /etc/qstat.cfg file in order the QSTAT
    supports Tremulous.

    I'll try the debian package you found there and give answere if it supports warsow=D>

    Maybe you should first patch the /etc/qstat.cfg and then try whether it works with the Dapper XQF version and/or the Debian unstable XQF version.

    You say the FAQ states that automake > 1.6 is required, but that doing apt-get install automake only gave you 1.4?

    There is individual automake packages in the repos for specific versions:
    Code:
    apt-get install automake1.4 automake1.7 automake1.8 automake1.9
    Maybe that will help?

    Re: HOWTO install cvs xqf??

    I suggest you to get the source package from Ubuntu or Debian, and the use uupdate to apply old (packaging) diffs to the new cvs version. I'll check this out later today and help you with this.

    You should use automake1.9 instead of virtual package automake, which installs very old and unsupported version 1.4. You should also install autotools-dev, autoconf, libtool and probably pkg-config.

    Re: HOWTO install cvs xqf??

    Cool, thx
    So you suggest I install the old xqf through apt and then run uupdate (which seems to be a part of the devscripts package) to update the program. This sounds too easy to be true
    Well for now I will install the packages you listed there and try the ./autogen.sh again

    edit: packages you listed were all already installed
