Building STK on Linux

First, make sure that you have the following packages installed:

• OpenGL (mesa)
• OpenAL (recommended: openal-soft-devel)
• Ogg (libogg-dev)
• Vorbis (libvorbis-dev)
• libcurl (libcurl-devel)
• libbluetooth (bluez-devel)
• libpng (libpng-devel)
• zlib (zlib-devel)
• jpeg (libjpeg-turbo-devel)

Ubuntu command:

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake build-essential cmake libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libxxf86vm-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libfribidi-dev libbluetooth-dev libxrandr-dev

Unpack the files from the tarball like this:

tar xzf supertuxkart-*.tar.gz
cd supertuxkart-*

where * is the version of SuperTuxkart you downloaded - eg 0.8.0. Then:

Compile SuperTuxKart:

mkdir cmake_build
cd cmake_build
cmake ..
make VERBOSE=1 -j2

To create a debug version of STK, use:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

To test the compilation, supertuxkart can be run from the build directory by ./bin/supertuxkart

To install the file, as root execute:

make install

The default install location is /usr/local, i.e. the data files will be written to /usr/local/share/games/supertuxkart, the executable will be copied to /usr/local/bin. To change the default installation location, specify CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when running cmake, e.g.: cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/stk
