How to install OpenTyrian in Ubuntu Jaunty
OpenTyrian is a project aimed at bringing the Tyrian game to other platforms. Since the source code was released and the official Tyrian data files made available in 2004, the game started to show up from Linux to iPhones. Here’s how to compile the source from scratch so you can get OpenTyrian running in Ubuntu Jaunty:
Install the compiling tools, SVN and SDL libraries
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libsdl1.2debian libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev
Checkout the latest code from SVN
svn checkout http://opentyrian.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/classic/ opentyrian-read-only
Enter the directory where the files downloaded
cd opentyrian-read-only
Compile
make clean release
Download the official data files
wget -c http://camanis.net/tyrian/tyrian21.zip
Create a folder called data and unarchive the files there
unzip -j tyrian21.zip -d data
Launch the game
./tyrian
Good to hear
is there any single .deb file ready to install in ubuntu?
I haven’t found one so I made this guide. But the steps above worked in Ubuntu Jaunty.
that is very nice…. another game in linux…..
Really nice!
Be sure to try Chromium B.S.U too.
I found a .deb of OpenTyrian on softpedia here: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/OpenTyrian-Download-34818.html
Is it the same version as yours that you compile from source ?
i haven’t tried installing it yet, but just curious
Also your link for the latest code from SVN
http://opentyrian.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/classic/ opentyrian-read-only
returns this message:
Not Found
The requested URL /svn/classic/trunk/ opentyrian was not found on this server.
@ubu-fan: the version on Softpedia is older than the one I have. I checked out the latest SVN branch.
To checkout the latest SVN use
svn checkout http://opentyrian.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/classic/ opentyrian-read-only
Worked for me. Maybe when you tried it the server was down, updating or the maintainer just modified the SVN tree to something else.
