Hi! THX for your help!
I compiled as you said.
1. Load angband-4.2.5.tar.gz from https://rephial.org/
2. Unpacked in Finder under Downloads by double-clicking.
3. Next in the terminal: cd ~/Downloads/angband-4.2.5
4. sudo apt-get install automake libtool
5. sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev
6. ./configure --enable-sdl2
7. sudo make
8. sudo make install
9. cp -a ./src/angband ./angband
9. angband -msdl2
Angband starts but the menu doesn't work. I can't switch to fullscreen, select tiles, or do any of the options provided here.
Seems to be a similar issue to this one: https://github.com/angband/angband/i...ssue-867970884

If you have compiled as I said withCode:sudo make install
Code:angband -msdl2
x11 doesn't allow graphics; both sdl and sdl2 do, and they can be selected from menus once the game has opened.Leave a comment:

Hello, I tried to install the suggested libraries and then carried out the compiling process again.
I'm not sure about starting Angband installed like this. Is it correct: /src/angband or is it also possible: ~/angband?
In order to use graphics in the game I would need more information:
Are graphics possible with -x11, -msdl or just -msdl2?
How are they selected in the game?
Thank you for your help!Leave a comment:

If you're compiling from source with configure, it will build the curses and X11 interfaces by default as long as the necessary libraries are available, but neither of those interfaces support using graphical tiles. It will build the SDL2 or SDL interfaces if requested but the necessary libraries also have to be installed. When you run configure, it will list the interfaces that will be built near the end of its output. For compiling the SDL2 interface, the packages you would need to install before running "configure --enable-sdl2" are: libsdl2-dev, libsdl2-image-dev, libsdl2-ttf-dev, and libsdl2-mixer-dev (the last one is only necessary if you want sound). From the command line those could be installed with
Code:sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev
Code:su root apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev exit
Code:cd <directory with the unpacked Angband for Windows files> wine angband.exe

How do I get the correct sdl2 packages?
I'm trying to install a version of Angband for Ubuntu that looks and feels similar to the Windows version.
When I start "Angband" from the terminal, it currently only runs with a single window and I can't find any way to select graphics. What's going wrong?Leave a comment:

This means you don't have the correct sdl2 packages. I believe you need SDL2_image and SDL2_ttf, and SDL2_mixer if you want sound.Leave a comment:

Hi! Thanks for your help!
I tried to install Angband but got this Error
Code:EliteBook-840-G5:~/Downloads/angband-4.2.5/src$ ./angband -msdl2 ./angband: Unable to prepare any 'display module'!

OK, this failed because you don't have the autotools package installed. If you are not familiar with building stuff for your system, you can either:- Install autotools, plus whatever other necessary packages you don't have; anything you don't understand you can ask back here or just search; or
- Do what Eric said.

Note also that the instructions in the online docs are essentially this, but for compiling in place so that you runCode:.angband -msdl2

I would recommend:Code:./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-sdl2 (or --enable-sdl if you prefer) make sudo make install
Note that the instructions in the online docs are more or less, but for compiling in place so you just run ./angband on the angband directory.
Nick do you mean the directory angband-4.2.5?
I do get this error: File or directory not found

Thanks to magnate and other Debian maintainers, Ubuntu 24.04 and later also include Angband 4.2.5 in the standard set of packages. You could install the angband package (and the angband-audio package if you want to play with the sounds on). The prepackaged version of Angband does not include Shockbolt's tiles. If you want to use those, install from the .tar.gz with Nick's instructions above.Leave a comment:

Hello!
Can someone help me start the Ubuntu version of Angband 4.2.5 with graphics ? I tried on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
1. Downloaded from https://rephial.org/angband-4.2.5.tar.gz.
2. Unpacked in Finder under Downloads by double-clicking.
3. Couldn't find any information about installation or start of the game in the docs.Code:./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-sdl2 (or --enable-sdl if you prefer) make sudo make install
Note that the instructions in the online docs are more or less, but for compiling in place so you just run ./angband on the angband directory.Leave a comment:
