Wesnoth 0.9.5 in Hoary? How to install?
 

Does anyone know how to install Wesnoth 0.9.5 in Hoary other than compiling from source?

I have it on my Debian box and it is a great game, but you can't play online unless you use version 0.9.5. Debian was no problem as it is in Sid.

Wondering if maybe it is in a Breezy repository. But I do not want to screw up my laptop installing from Breezy if I do not have to.

Crap just checked Breezy and its not there. Guess it's time to compile. :)

I thought Ubuntu was bledding edge like Debian Sid?

No one using Ubuntu plays Battle for Wesnoth? You should it is a great game.

Anyway here is what I had to do to get it installed in Ubuntu Hoary.

Ended up compiling and installing from source.

Had to install the required SDL packages using Synaptic.
Then downloaded freetype2.1 , had to compile it; no biggie.
After that the config went ok. Make seemed to take forever, and by forever I mean over an hour. Ran make install. Opened wesnoth and poof it was able to connect to the online game server.

Took about an hour and a half, with running Synaptic, the downloads and the two compiles. But it was worth it.

Wesnoth rocks, now if I could only not get my butt kicked every time I play online.

Have you expanded your sources to include the universe and multiverse repositories?

Ubuntu Guide repositories

I'm pretty sure I have Wesnoth on my Ubuntu installation and I got it via Synaptic...

Haven't played yet though... How is it? :)
