Could someone please explain me step by step what do I need besides the sources of ST on Github, respectively what parameters should i exactly put in the config.default?
Also, why do i no longer need ./configure?
Thank you
There is configure, but it is built by autoconf.
autoconf
./configure
make
should work.
For libraries, you need at least libSDL2-devel, libz-devel, and lingpng (for makeobj). The revisioning need SVN, so you may need to install a subversion client.
You can look at the github action script (in .githaub/workflows/nightly-ubuntu.yml) to compile on Linux, since this installs all needed librariers. It is Debian/Ubuntu, but adapting for Mint should be straight forward. See blow
# set up dependencies
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -ym install libsdl2-dev
sudo apt-get -ym install libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get -ym install libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get -ym install libbz2-dev
sudo apt-get -ym install autoconf
# now build simutrans
autoconf
./configure
echo "FLAGS = -DREVISION=$(svn info --show-item revision svn://servers.simutrans.org/simutrans) " >>config.default
echo "STATIC = 1" >>config.default
make install
# download translations
sh ./distribute.sh
# now you have a zip file and a full simutrans folder

libbz2-devel
and the revision can set in config.default
CFLAGS += -DREVISION="9124"for makeobj you have to run make in the trunk/makeobj folder
Thank you
