Actually, those directions are quite terrible. First off, remove any official bzflag packages from the system (bzflag, bzflag-client, bzflag-server, and bzflag-data). Then:

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install subversion make g++ libtool automake autoconf libcurl3-dev libc-ares-dev zlib1g-dev
svn co  https://bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bzflag/trunk/ bzflag-2.4
cd bzflag-2.4
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

That will get you a system-wide install of BZFlag that can be executed by just typing 'bzflag' in a terminal.

As far shortcuts go, the bzflag.desktop file might work.

Code: Select all

cd misc
make bzflag.desktop

And then copy bzflag.desktop (not bzflag.desktop.in) to your desktop.

As for the menu, I dunno. There is some stuff I have over here to build an actual BZFlag package, but it's not quite ready for prime time. https://code.launchpad.net/~blast007/+j ... -directory

Right, doing it this way will not make menu shortcuts.
