Snowberry

Requirements

Python and wxPython are required for running Snowberry.

Snowberry from the SVN repository

Installing the latest version of Snowberry from the SVN repository:

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/deng/trunk/snowberry snowberry

Now open the snowberry.py script and in the first line put in "#!" followed by the location of python (e.g., on Ubuntu):

#!/usr/bin/python 

Now make the script an executable.

Configuration

You are free to install the Doomsday Engine and Snowberry where you like, but Snowberry's configuration files need to be modified so that Snowberry knows where the doomsday binary is located. The .conf file with the binary's location can be placed in any of Snowberry's conf folders. For example, you could create the following mydoomsday.conf and put it in your personal Snowberry home folder: ~/.snowberry/conf/mydoomsday.conf:

configure doomsday (
  binary: /usr/local/bin/doomsday
  base: /usr/local/share/deng
)

Compiling Doomsday

cd <path/to/deng/source/directory> mkdir temp cd temp cmake ../ make sudo make install

Pre-built Debian / Ubuntu packages

You can add one of the following APT repositories to your configuration:

deb http://debian.keesmeijs.nl/ etch-kees main
deb-src http://debian.keesmeijs.nl/ etch-kees main

deb http://debian.keesmeijs.nl/ lenny-kees main
deb-src http://debian.keesmeijs.nl/ lenny-kees main

deb http://debian.keesmeijs.nl/ jaunty-kees main
deb-src http://debian.keesmeijs.nl/ jaunty-kees main

deb http://debian.keesmeijs.nl/ karmic-kees main
deb-src http://debian.keesmeijs.nl/ karmic-kees main

The APT repositories are signed, so please install the keyring first:

$ sudo apt-get install kees-archive-keyring

Now you can install (or upgrade) Doomsday Engine:

$ sudo apt-get install deng
