Need a "how to install" alpha14 on Ubuntu 64-bit

[Jayky]

Hey @ all,I need your help: I downloaded alpha14 and tried the instructions from the wiki page to install it. It failed, because the directories in the wiki instruction (./bootstrap, ./configure, ../data, ./src/data) do not exist.Could someone write an instruction with all steps, because I also couldn't find anything in the *.tar.bz2 file JaykyP.S:all the extra packages I already have installed. I just need to know how to compile it...

That package contains a compiled program, not source code. You can grab the source from here:https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/tarball/alpha14Better yet, you can get the latest version of the source from GitHub.If all you need is a 64 bit binary, I can arrange that. You would just need to copy it over the 32 bit one; the rest of the package would be the same.

Hey,thanks for the hint. Using this source I could do following using this instruction:* ./bootstrap* ./configureBut when I tried make it told me, that there aren't any Targets found and that there is no »make«-Controlfile. Here is the shell code, maybe it helps to understand my descriptions.

So what should I do know?

Install sigc++2.2.10 as the same output above is saying that such lib is missing.

[Brianetta]

Run this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libsigc++-2.0-dev
then run ./configure once more.

Yeah, I read this info, too, but I couldn't install it:
Code:
kuba@alpha-x1:~$ sudo apt-get install sigc++2.2.10Paketlisten werden gelesen... FertigAbhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut Statusinformationen werden eingelesen... FertigE: Paket sigc++2.2.10 kann nicht gefunden werden
...what means that this package couldn't be found.
