Failing to compile 1.12.1 on Mint 17.1 [SOLVED]
Hi,
I raised this on the linux mint forums but still no solution. I'm confused on what to attempt next it must be 20 years since I looked at a C compilation process
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=188233
I've been playing 1.10.7 for a long time and would like to move to the latest version.
Any help would be appreciated

Re: Failing to compile 1.12.1 on Mint 17.1
Besides the build-essential, you also need wesnoth's dependencies. The following command will help with that:
If it can't find a package named
sudo apt-get build-dep wesnoth
If it can't find a package named
wesnoth
, it may be wesnoth-1.10
instead.Re: Failing to compile 1.12.1 on Mint 17.1

Thanks for your reply.
I did a search on apt-get wesnoth and found this which worked and I now have application running first campaign (heir to the throne)

I'll test it out over time

You now have a regular binary install from a different source. That works too.
The reason the commands failed is that apparently, mint ships without source repositories enabled. Someone who actually uses the distro may be able to help you with that. (Unless you want to build wesnoth yourself, this isn't necessary)

Thanks.
I prefer the binary rather than compiling stuff.
