How to compile UltraStar Deluxe on Ubuntu

You want to play? Right now? Don't have time to read the instructions? Then this one is for you!

Open a shell, and fetch the packages with apt.

user@host:~$ sudo apt-get install fp-compiler fp-units-base fp-units-misc fp-units-fcl fp-units-i386 fp-utils libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev portaudio19-dev libsqlite3-dev libfreetype6-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev liblua5.1-0-dev

If you have the AMD64 version of ubuntu you'll probably get an error on the fp-units-i386. But as it turns out, you don't need it

Install SVN, if you haven't already, or do it the wget way.

user@host:~$ sudo apt-get install subversion

usdx-source will be the folder where the source is saved to.

user@host:~$ svn co https://ultrastardx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ultrastardx/trunk usdx-source

If you don't want to use SVN, do this:

user@host:~$ mkdir usdx-source
user@host:~$ wget -O trunk.tar.gz http://ultrastardx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ultrastardx/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar
user@host:~$ tar xvzf trunk.tar.gz -C usdx-source --strip 1

user@host:~$ cd usdx-source
user@host:~/usdx-source$ ./configure
user@host:~/usdx-source$ make
user@host:~/usdx-source$ sudo make install

user@host:~/usdx-source$ /usr/local/bin/ultrastardx

tadaa.wav and happy gaming :)
