Linux Build Instructions

NOTE: The linux build is still under development (see PR #140) - don't expect stability of any kind. Caveat compositor.

Dependencies (libraries must be i686/lib32):

• make

• GCC

• automake

• autoconf

• libunwind

• glibc

• freetype

• fontconfig

• libGL

• libX11

• openal

• libncurses

• libcurl-gnutls

Note: if you get an error in compiling due to -lcurl-gnutls being missing, you need a symlink: sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libcurl-gnutls.so.4 /usr/lib32/libcurl-gnutls.so. This occurs on Arch/pacman based distros as far as we know.

Instructions:

0. Make sure the path leading up the team-comtress-2 has no spaces in it. This will lead to errors compiling Protobuf and gperftools (needed for tcmalloc).
1. Prepare for unforseen consequences (crashes, and unhelpful ones.)
2. Run ./build.sh.
3. To make sure it compiled correctly, run it again. If you see no errors, then it compiled. Success!
4. Install your TF2 assets into ../game/tf. If you have TF2 and Steam installed on the same drive, running cp -rn ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Team\ Fortress\ 2/* ../game/ from the main repo folder should work.
5. Run in the main repo folder ./run.sh.
6. If you get some errors about a missing client library, enter the bin folder, which is in the ../game folder (relative to the main repo folder) and run this command: ln -s ../tf/bin/* ., then try running again. If it still doesn't work, try rebooting.
