I'm really looking forward to trying the current version of Syntensity, but am:

a) On Lucid
b) A compiling moron.
c) Lazy.

Have you tried PlayDeb?

I don't think we'll support Lucid until it's released, unfortunately.. Maybe some other kind soul who is running it would go through the effort?

Thanks AncientGoat,

Unfortunately PlayDeb only seems to support up to Karmic at this time. *sigh*

There is no excuse for not compiling

There are a few tricky things though, adrix. Quite a few people have had trouble :\

Post them so they are not tricky anymore

Is it the same on 9.10, or has lucid other problems?

Don't think so
Compile it and see

Wow. Friendly way to encourage artists to contribute.

Ignore adrix, he doesn't have tact :P

No excuse not to compile it!

Now where do you find the git repository?

Seriously though, it's cool. It wasn't the first time I've ran into the"Thou Shalt Master Our Way of Compiling Before Ye Are Allowed to Contribute Art." thing. I'm sure it won't be the last. I'm used to it, and it *does* make sense for people contributing by coding.

Won't stop me poking fun at it occasionally though.

I do think, however, you don't actually need Syntensity to work to contribute art, hehe, just use Sauerbraten or BloodFrontier to test yourstuff, its all easily importable, although you wont be able to see your stuff in action

And here's the git command:
git clone git://github.com/kripken/intensityengine.git

And then, on 9.10/64
sudo apt-get install git-core cmake scons g++ libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libboost-python1.38-dev # says docu

#from my buildscript
cd intensityengine
HERE="$PWD"
cd "$HERE/src/thirdparty/v8"
GCC_VERSION="44" scons arch=x64
cd "$HERE/cbuild"
cmake ..
make

./intensity_client.sh syntensity/client/ # arg is config-folder

If your not "Thou Shalt Master Our Way of Compiling Before Ye Are Allowed to Contribute Art." what are you doing on lucid witch is a test build that has no packages freely available for most software?
On karmic for example there are builds for syntensity
Actually if your on linux "Thou Master Compiling You Will"

I'm on Lucid because I get more recent versions of most apps without compiling.

Glad to see you have a sense of humor though.

Ok you win the argument but nobody is on lucid
So you have to compile
Witch isn't hard like other software
