How do I build the Netrek Server with cmake?

Under Linux I recommend you use a pbuilder environment. http://wiki.netrek.org/index.php/Building#debian_or_ubuntu_pristine_building for more details.

Get the latest release of the netrek server from http://netrek.org/files/Vanilla/ and extract/uncompress the source into a working directory.

Here is an example for building netrek-server-vanilla on Ubuntu Jaunty (same procedure will work on Hardy)

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cmake darcs
$ sudo apt-get build-dep netrek-server-vanilla
$ cd /tmp
$ darcs get http://james.tooraweenah.com/darcs/netrek-server/
$ cd netrek-server/Vanilla
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

WARNING! 2.16.0 does not have the cmake build capability. As of 2009-09-02 you have to use the darcs repository!

Under OSX I recommend using MacPorts, see http://www.macports.org/install.php for installing MacPorts.

Here is an example of building netrek-server-vanilla on Snow Leopard (same procedure will wok on Leopard)

$ sudo port -v selfupdate
$ sudo port install cmake darcs
$ cd /tmp
$ darcs get http://james.tooraweenah.com/darcs/netrek-server/
$ cd netrek-server/Vanilla
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
