Cannot Compile

First of all, don't invoke 'cmake .' because it make mess in the main directory (and corrupts existing Makefile), use three commands instead: 'mkdir build', 'cd build', 'cmake ..'

CMake complains because you haven't installed WntrData library, do it first. Branch for it is lp:~wintermute-devel/wintermute/database

 I am aware I am the biggest noob ever:

teamcoltra@paradoxicon:~/Projects/Wintermute/database$ mkdir build
teamcoltra@paradoxicon:~/Projects/Wintermute/database$ cd build
teamcoltra@paradoxicon:~/Projects/Wintermute/database/build$ cmake ..

No, you are not :)

The first problem is that you haven't installed particular Boost devel packages, these are required:
    * libboost-filesystem-dev
    * libboost-signals-dev
    * libboost-serialization-dev

The second problem is that you haven't installed wintermutesdk-scripts package, you can do the following:
    1. Install bzr-builddeb package.
    2. Branch lp:~wintermute-devel/wintermute/wintermutesdk-scripts-debian branch.
    3. Enter to its directory and invoke `debian/rules get-orig-source'.
    4. Invoke `bzr builddeb'.

This will make a package that you can install by typing `sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb'.

And note: You have to provide few variables such as WNTRDATA_DATA_DIR to correctly build WntrData, if you don't want to do this manually, use the Makefile provided in the branch's root directory.

I hope this will resolve your problems and thank you for asking a question; this made me aware that we have to create documentation related to building.

Expired as the code and building process changed.
