	Help Linux Server Win32 Client Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Is there any way to make the winclient V 1.2.5-Devel work with my Linux Machine running FreeCiv 1.2.0? or am I just out of luck here?

I don't know for certain, but I 'm almost certain the windows client is based off of the 1.12.5-Dev version. For some reason the 1.12.0 and 1.12.2+ releases are incompatable. I don't know the reason, but I think it's been discussed in the freeciv-dev list. You'll want to download the 1.12.4 version of freeciv to fix the problem. Be aware that 1.13.0 should be coming out soon, and is probably incompatable with the 1.12.x versions.

Your right, it is version 1.12.5-Dev (bad proofing on my part......are you saying that the 1.12.2+ for my linux box will work? where do I download 1.12.4? I dont see it on the D/L list and the newist version I see is the 1.12.2 version if I install that on my linux bow will it fix the problem?

BTE thanks for your help I've just installed Linux, I've played Freeciv on Windows and I'm looking forward to getting a good game going on my linux machine

The old 1.12.0 version of Freeciv is incompatible with the much more recent 1.12.2+ versions. 1.12.4 is the most recent beta version, and 1.12.5 is the most recent development shapshot. 1.12.2 to .5 should all be compatible.

Hope this helps.

	Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

that helps but Ihave another question, how do I upgrade my version to 1.12.2 using RPM? the only thing I see is tar.gz files and and bzip2 no rpm for 1.12.2 I realize this is more a linux question then a Freeciv one but to say I'm a linux newbie would be an under statement.

Any help you can offer will be greatly appericated

I'm not a linux expert, but I can hazard some guesses about the problem.

From the error message, I get the impression that the configure script couldn't locate a C compiler. IIRC, the standard compiler for linux systems is GCC. I think the standard install location is /usr/bin/. Try typing 'echo $PATH' in the shell, and see if GCC is located in any of the directories listed. If GCC is installed in a non-standard location, try using './configure CC=/path/to/gcc && make'
