Trouble Building Odalaunch from Source

[42PercentHealth]

Hey folks,

 

I'm one of those nerdy nerds who uses Linux every time I can, so I'm trying to build odamex from source. I got it, it works, but there's no odalaunch. The code for it is there, and the makefile is there, but when I run the makefile nothing happens. I also notice this in the wiki:

Once cmake finishes its job, run the following command:

• If you want to build everything: make
• If you want to build just the client: make odamex
• If you want to build just the server: make odasrv
• If you want to build just the master: make odamast
• If you want to clean up your build tree: make clean

.... There is no "make odalaunch" option. Is there a reason for this? Is there a simple little switch somewhere so I can "turn on" the compiler for this code?

 

Thanks!

 

P.S. I'd be just as happy if someone could tell me how to install IDE or any other "universal" Doom multiplayer browser. IDE appears to be Windows-only though. :-\

Doomseeker may be installed through the package manager by adding the DRD Team package repository. Use the following command to add the repository to your sources list:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://debian.drdteam.org/ stable multiverse'

You may then proceed to install the package doomseeker-<port name> for any port that you desire to use. Wadseeker packages are also provided as libwadseeker and libwadseeker-dev. For example:

sudo apt-get install doomseeker-chocolatedoom

Doomseeker will be available in the games category after installation. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and later are supported for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

IDE and Doom Explorer are windows only but Doomseeker supports both Odamex and Zandronum. I believe Odalaunch has been depreciated and is no longer included, the documentation just needs to be updated.

Really? I actually have Doomseeker already installed, but didn't realize it supported Odamex. Thank you kindly! :-D

[duh]

cmake will check for wxGTK3-devel and compat-wxGTK3-gtk2-devel (a wrapper for applications developed using libwxgtk2), if it cant be found, then it wont bother trying to build odalaunch. i dont know if that package exists for other distros but the name of the packages and their contents should help you:

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/compat-wxGTK3-gtk2-devel

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/wxGTK3-devel

Yeah, there's a very good chance I don't have the correct wx libraries. That's probably the issue right there. Thanks!
