In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install The Battle for Wesnoth on Manjaro using the source code available on GitHub.
Before we start, we need to make sure that the following prerequisites are installed on the Manjaro system:
If any of the above prerequisites are not installed, you can install them using the following command:
sudo pacman -S git cmake boost sdl2
First, we need to clone the Wesnoth source code from the GitHub repository. In a terminal, run the following command:
git clone --branch 1.14 git://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth.git
This will create a new directory named wesnoth in the current working directory, containing the Wesnoth source code.
Next, we need to build and install Wesnoth. Change to the wesnoth directory and create a new directory for the build:
cd wesnoth
mkdir build
cd build
To configure the build, run the following command:
cmake ..
This will generate the Makefile for the build. To build and install Wesnoth, run the following command:
make && sudo make install
The above command will install Wesnoth to the system. You can now run the game using the wesnoth command in the terminal or by searching for it in the application menu.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install The Battle for Wesnoth on Manjaro using the source code available on GitHub. Now you can start playing the game and enjoy the fantastic world of Wesnoth!
