The .tar.bz2 file is distributed with a working set of configure files. They
are not in the SVN repository. Consequently, if you are building from
SVN, you will need autoconf (>= 2.60) and automake (>= 1.9). Run './autogen.sh'

Do this
Simply type 'scons' in the top-level directory to build game, editor,
and tools. It is possible to select individual targets by naming them
as scons arguments, including wesnothd (the Wesnoth multiplayer server)
and campaignd (the campaign server).
scons takes a prefix= argument that says where to install the game
and its data. The prefix defaults to /usr/local; for production builds
you may want to set prefix=/usr.
To build wesnothd:
scons server_uid=<user> server_group=<group> wesnothd
where <user> and <group> are valid on your system. A wesnothd
subdirectory will be created under /var/run owned by
<user>:<group>. This is relevant if you want to be able to communicate
with wesnothd through a FIFO or named socket. You have to run
wesnothd with the user specified while configuring in order for it to
work. You can also specify the FIFO directory directly by using
fifodir=<directory>.
If you want to install several versions of wesnoth you should use the
prefsdir= parameter to get distinct preferences directories. The
default is '.wesnoth'.
Notes on the deprecated autotools build:
The autotools build machinery is deprecated, unsupported, and will be
removed in a future release. You will need autoconf (>= 2.60) and
automake (>= 1.9). Run './autogen.sh' to generate the configure
files. Then
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
to compile the wesnoth binary and install it along with the game
data to the default prefix, which is probably /usr/local.
Note: It has been reported (see https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?10326)
that under gcc 3.3.6 you need to turn off optimizations or you will
get a build that doesn't work for multiplayer. We recommend building
with gcc 4.
If you want to build wesnoth_editor too add the --enable-editor
configure option.
If you see lots of messages like "Type 'svnversion --help' for usage.",
you have a Subversion client installed but it is not implementing the
-n option of svnversion. Time to update it.
In case you want wesnothd to be built you should add:
--enable-server --localstatedir=/var --with-server-uid=user
--with-server-gid=group
$localstatedir/run is the location where a wesnothd subdirectory will be
created owned by user:group. This is relevant if you want to be able
to communicate with wesnothd through a fifo file named socket.
You have to run wesnothd with the user specified while configuring in
order for it to work.
You can also specify the fifodir directly by using --with-fifodir
This way localstatedir won't be used.
If you want to install several versions of wesnoth you should use the
--with-preferences-dir= parameter to get distinct preferences directories.
The default is '.wesnoth'.
See './configure --help' for all available options.
Rebuilding:
as usual. See './configure --help' for all available options.
You should clean your existing wesnoth release build first with:
$ make distclean
