Re: Generic build scripts

It worked! Cool! Now I can play it again, finally! (...I just have to get the sound going. Maybe that's due to the Virtual Machine...)

Re: Generic build scripts

I entered ./freeciv-ubuntu24.04.sh 3.1.3 gtk3.22 in the terminal and it did some stuff, but at the end it says "Configure failed". I think, that something was not successful. admin@zadmin-Standard-PC-Q35-ICH9-2009:~$ chmod +x freeciv-ubuntu24.04.sh zadmin@zadmin-Standard-PC-Q35-ICH9-2009:~...

If appimage does not work, or requires a lot of work, you may find Generic Build script approach easier: https://forum.freeciv.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=89944. I'll create a new version for ubuntu-24.04 soon (likely this night) Thanks for replying! I am looking forward to a new Ubuntu version of FC, fo...
