Hello,
I'm trying to compile STK from source on Ubuntu 14.04. I've downloaded all code and assets. When I enter this command:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

cmake ..

I get this output in terminal:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

What is the problem here? When I do

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

sudo apt-get install freetype2

it says it cannot locate that package. What needs to be done for me to compile STK?

Thanks!
ArDanWol

try sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev instead

That worked. Thanks!

New problem: crashes when starting using ./bin/supertuxkart

Looks like a driver issue - 14.04 Mesa is a bit too old in our case maybe, I'm fuzzy on the details. Someone more knowledgeable might be able to fill you in, but that's my guess.

try uninstall previous stk

Got it working. Not sure how.

Good! Enjoy new features from git STK!
