It sais that you need the Dune2 data files in addition to the sourceforge files, do you have them in the right place? It looks like it doesn't find the required files. http://www.abandonia.com/games/36/Dune2/Dune2.htm
If it continues to give you problems, just run it in dosbox.

I
Code:
f it continues to give you problems, just run it in dosbox.
Code:
* The modified Dune 2 data (you can get it from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IBIVBXCD or http://shutdownrunner.tivi.net.pl/dunelegacy-data.zip)
* (If anyone knows a better place to store it with less ads please give us a link to it)
* Dunelegacy source code from Subversion.
If you have subversion type the following command
svn co https://dunelegacy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dunelegacy/trunk dunelegacy
So how do I compile it? (Note:This howto is meant for people who know what a compiler is. if you get many errors with -o something make sure you have a compiler e.g. execute
$g++ -v
in command line. If you get
bash: g++ -v: command not found
then you don't have any compiler installed.Install it e.g. sudo apt-get install g++)
* Untar the modified dune 2 data in dunelegacy folder
* Ensure that you have everything required to build installed:
* On debian/ubuntu you need the following packages:
o libzzip-dev
o libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
o libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
o libsdl-net1.2-dev
o libsdl-image1.2-dev
o libsdl-gfx1.2-dev
o libboost-dev
o libboost-signals-dev
o libboost-filesystem-dev
o scons
* for Mandriva do:
o 'urpmi SDL-devel zzip-devel SDL_mixer-devel SDL_ttf-devel SDL_net-devel SDL_image-devel boost-signals-devel boost-filesystem-devel'
* Type "scons" in the main dir (you need scons package to compile the game now)
* And of course ./dunelegacy
I do not think actually it works with the pc version; they, in their website, say to get http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IBIVBXCD or
or super dune2, but that is not workign.
Where just I dumped the downloaded files ? in /dunelegacy

On that site it sais "Please enter [code] here:_ " You have to enter the code and click download. They do that in order to protect themselves from remote linking. Then you have to wait a few seconds until you get the download link. (They do that just to piss you off) -Click "Free Download"
The abandonia link I posted will also contain the data files, but with the game executables for dos.
Once you donloaded the files you just do what it sais in the howto. You copy them to the dunelegacy folder.
If you downloaded it through subversion with:
Code:
svn co https://dunelegacy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dunelegacy/trunk dunelegacy
That is the folder where the source code is. Or whatever folder you have put the source code in. Extract the data folder there.
install what you need to compile. On Ubunu there is a build-essential meta package
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
I don't know if Debian has that too.
Then install the required libraries and tools:
Then type "scons" - still in the dunelegacy folder. If it compiles without errors, you can start dune by typing ./dunelegacy in the dunelegacy folder.
If you are still not sure what to do just use dosbox.
Also - please use quote tags to quote, and not the code tags. This is distracting. And don't quote huge sections without telling us why. And close the quote (in the case above code tags) if you want to comment on the code... quote... whatever.
Your last post is very hard to understand the way it is formatted.
-----------------
I just installed it while writing this. No problems at all.
