This guide is written for the 64 bit version, keep that in mind when installing on the 32 bit version
Alright, today a nice dude on the irc channel asked how to get tc:e running.
He kept getting an error (
"libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or ....")
He did run ubuntu 9.10 64 bit
Since I couldn't help him out (all the usual fixes didn't help), I did dl ubuntu and checked wheter I get his bs too
I got it and decided to find a solution and post it
so how to install TC:E on ubuntu 9.10 64 bit:
everything is done from the console
okay since this gets a bit messy we start of with creating an new tempdir
Code:
mkdir ettemp
cd ettmp
first of we need some 32bit librarys to be able to run the installer/game
Code:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
now it's time to dl et 2.60 and install it
Code:
wget http://www.truecombatelite.com/files/ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz
chmod +x ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz
sudo ./ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz
I used all the default options, if you do something different you'll have to adjust the paths in the future commands.
let's patch et to 2.60b:
Code:
wget http://www.truecombatelite.com/files/et_2.60b.zip
unzip et_2.60b.zip
sudo mv Enemy\ Territory\ 2.60b/linux/et* /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/
at this point I did run et and created a profile
Code:
et
okay time to install tc:e (this time with the patch right away)
when getting promted for overwriting files type A since we want it patched
Code:
wget http://www.truecombatelite.com/files/tcetest049.zip
wget http://www.truecombatelite.com/files/tce049b_all_os_fixed.zip
unzip tcetest049.zip
unzip tce049b_all_os_fixed.zip -d tcetest
sudo mv tcetest /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/
all that extracting / moving messed the file attribs a bit, time to give the et folder back to root
Code:
sudo chown -R root:root /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/
if you try to start et @ this point you'll get the awesome libstdc++.so.5 missing error
therefore we create a symbolik link from the lib5 to the lib6
this is tricky because the 64bit kernel is a genious and trys to give 32bit applications 32bit librarys when they load them, therefore the usual rules for library directorys don't apply here
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5
now you could run the game, but pb would bitch @ you for game integrity
so we do have to update pb, in my case pbweb.x86 failed so I had todo it manually, therefore for the next wgets you'll have to get the new links from
http://evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-et.phpCode:
cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb/
sudo wget http://evenbalance.com/downloads/et/pbsec.htm
cd htm
sudo wget http://evenbalance.com/downloads/et/lc002213.htm
sudo wget http://evenbalance.com/downloads/et/la001382.htm
now the et installation has an updated pb, but since we already started pb and enabled punkbuster we have way to old files in our ~/.etwolf/pb
time to update them too:
Code:
cd ..
rm -r ~/.etwolf/pb
cp -r pb ~/.etwolf
that's it, instalation complete go and run the game with
Code:
et +set fs_game tcetest
don't forget to save the good content from the tempdir and remove it
