HOWTO install cvs xqf??

[mlind]

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

Okay, I got this to build with some adjustments.. This is very brief howto and probably contains some errors

1. Add new repository to /etc/apt/sources.list
   

   deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

2. Create build directory and get source from debian unstable
   

   mkdir -p ~/packages/xqf
   cd ~/packages/xqf
   sudo aptitude update
   apt-get source xqf

3. Checkout cvs module
   

   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xqf.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xqf co -P xqf

4. Prepare for uupdate
   

   mv xqf xqf-1.0.4.1+cvs20060722
   #cvs snapshot seems to contain debian package information, but we'll remove it
   rm -rf xqf-1.0.4.1+cvs20060722/debian
   
   tar czvf xqf-1.0.4.1+cvs20060722.tar.gz xqf-1.0.4.1+cvs20060722
   rm -rf xqf-1.0.4.1+cvs20060722

5. Apply old debian package information (diffs)
   

   cd xqf-1.0.4/
   uupdate ../xqf-1.0.4.1+cvs20060722.tar.gz 1.0.4.1+cvs20060722
   cd ../xqf-1.0.4.1+cvs20060722

6. Edit debian/rules so that autogen.sh is executed before configure. Bold entries are new stuff
   

   post-patches:: debian/stamp-autogen
   debian/stamp-autogen:
           NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
           touch $@
   
   clean::
           rm -f config.h
           rm -f debian/stamp-autogen

7. Edit debian/control and add necessary packages for autogen.sh script
   

   Build-Depends: automake1.9, autoconf, intltool, libtool, libglib-dev, libgtk-dev, libgdk-pixbuf-dev
   Build-Conflicts: automake1.4, autoconf2.13

8. Modify changelog information. You need devscripts package for this
   

   dch -e

   (Example changelog entry. Bolded part is important)
   

   xqf (1.0.4.1+cvs20060722-0ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
   
     * New CVS snapshot
   
    -- Firstname Lastname <you@somemail.com>  Sat, 22 Jul 2006 19:52:09 +0300

9. Build the package. I suggest using pbuilder (HOWTO) that automates the dependency install process.
   

   cd ..
   #generate .dsc and diffs
   dpkg-source -b xqf-1.0.4.1+cvs20060722
   sudo pbuilder build xqf_1.0.4.1+cvs20060722-0ubuntu1.dsc

10. Alternatively, you may use dpkg-buildpackage. You'll need dpkg-dev package for this
    

    dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

Wow thx! This is some heavy stuff... not shure I understood all of what you did there, so I'll just try to install the tar.gz you made there

Yeah, no problem. You can probably use those instructions next time you need to upgrade xqf or install other cvs/svn package.

Thank You mlind!

I did run into some problems with installing the deb. I was getting

CRITICAL **: egg_desktop_entries

It is fixed now after editing the .desktop files

If anyone is getting these errors plz post and I will write up a fix for it.

Thanks again!

BTW I'm having an issue with UT master server showing up. I get LAN but no master server. In game I get the list but in XQF I don't. All other games, DOOM3,Quake4,UT2004,Tremulous are fine. Does anyone know what is wrong? also this was in issue for me with other versions of xqf not mlind debs.
