wesnoth-lite should be fully working Wesnoth, it just lacks music and story images (making it smaller and therefore faster to download):

AWsome; no big bugs that i can see, and Drakes are fun and not overpowered, as I origanally thought.

W00T.

Do I just download this?

Development release: wesnoth-0.7.9.tar.gz (md5sum)

Will it overwrite my current wesnoth file?

What operating system are you using? We support many. Did you want the source code, or are just the binaries fine?

No. Sithrandel (or someone else, as Sithrandel is away for at least few days) will inform here when there is 0.7.9 compiled and packaged for Mac OS X.

Can't seem to download more than 188Kb of source tarball.

I was going to see if I could get it going on my Mac...

Is this a problem with the ftp? (is anyone else having problems?)

<EDIT> Works now, just a matter of retrying a lot I think...
3.2Mb downloaded and counting

OK - I've downloaded SDL from source (otherwise it doesn't install in a manner that configure / make can use under OSX)

I checked version & pathing with :

[nausicaa:~/tmp/wesnoth-0.7.9] tim% which sdl-config
/usr/local/bin/sdl-config
[nausicaa:~/tmp/SDL-1.2.7] tim% sdl-config --version
1.2.7

But still get the following when I attempt to ./configure wesnoth...

checking for sdl-config... /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.7... no
configure: error: *** Please upgrade your SDL version

Anyone have any ideas what is going on here?

Cheers,

Tim.

I really find the new campain imposible...i always die...no new instructions come...

You should only use mages and HI in the first scenario; you'll find those undead a piece of cake (even the revenants if you manage to get them to attack appart)

1.2.7

I had the same on BeOS, but here it was because of compiler/linker not working with debug symbols, so test application couldn't be made by configure script. maybe similar thing happens to You (test executable can't be made, or run)?

Please send me your config.log via email please. As a workaround, if you have SDL 1.2.7, use --disable-sdltest not to run test program.

Found that when I looked at hacking the config file. I'm now having a Mac problem with getting the SDL_ttf to work properly (seem to have /usr/local/bin/freetype-config & /usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config and they give me different errors whichever I try to compile a new SDL_ttf with... I thought I'd got it installed a long time back, but it was the package instal not the unix style install so doesn't work with configure/make ).

I'll try to continue pluggin away at this for the bloody-mindedness of it all, but am running my monthly RPG soon for the rest of today so can't even give an estimate of when I might finish...

Anyone with MacOSX compilation experience feel free to contact me off forum, and I'll try to write up some documentation whenever I get it all working...

Cheers,

Tim.

I have Windows 98.

The last time I downloaded the game, I got a source code. Dunno what the difference between the two is.
