Oy.

Yeah, installing from source isn't fun.

I wasn't able to test this myself, as I can only run Ubuntu virtually and therefore Allegro won't compile (I'm not considered OpenGL compatible), but I'll try to help as best I can.

1) Download Allegro: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alleg/files/allegro/5.0.3/allegro-5.0.3.... Extract until it's a plain folder.

2) Pop open the terminal. Type sudo apt-get install cmake and press enter. Wait for install.

3) Type sudo apt-get -y install libx11-dev and press enter. Wait for install.

4) Type cd /path/to/allegro (for example cd ~/Desktop/allegro-5.0.3) and press enter.

5) Type mkdir Build, enter, cd Build, enter, cmake .. , enter. Type make install, enter. That should take care of the Allegro library.

6) Download ASEPRITE source: http://aseprite.googlecode.com/files/ase-0.8.3.zip Extract until it's a plain folder.

7) Type cd /path/to/ase (for example cd ~/Desktop/ase-0.8.3) and press enter.

8) Type bash fix.sh and press enter. Answer the questions. Just press enter for each one if you want defaults.

9) Type make and press enter.

10) Type make install and press enter.

The executable should now be somewhere in your /usr/local folder, as well as the ase-0.8.3 folder. Pretty rough, I know. FOSS makes me warm and tingly inside, but this is the perfect example of why I use OS X for my day-to-day.

If anyone technically inclined could try this out before the OP (and possibly help troubleshoot if it doesn't work), that'd be awesome.

Hi all,

       hmm.... ok, tried it here. While it worked for allegro  meaning that I was able to build it even though it had quite a few warnings , red and organge alike . For e.g. see :-

Anyways, seems allegro library did get install in /usr/local see for instance .

<code>
$ sudo find /usr/local/lib -iname "liballegro.*"
/usr/local/lib/liballegro.so
/usr/local/lib/liballegro.so.5.0
/usr/local/lib/liballegro.so.5.0.3
</code>

However I did get issues when trying to compile ase :-

<code>
 /usr/local/src/aesprite/ase-0.8.3$ bash fix.sh
What platform (linux/macosx/mingw)? [linux]
Do you want debug ASE (y/n)? [n]
Do you want profile ASE (y/n)? [n]
Do you want to check memory leaks (y/n)? [n]
Where do you want install ASE by default? [/usr/local]

ASE configured:
Platform: Linux
Debug suppport: no
Profile suppport: no
Check memory leaks: no
Prefix: /usr/local

Is it right (y/n)? [y]
creating makefile...
</code>

Now here's the actual short ocmpilation attempt :-

<code>
/usr/local/src/aesprite/ase-0.8.3$ make
g++ `allegro-config --cflags` -Wall -I. -Isrc -Ithird_party -Ithird_party/freetype/include -Ithird_party/jpeg -Ithird_party/libpng -Ithird_party/zlib -Ithird_party/loadpng -Ithird_party/tinyxml -Ithird_party/vaca/include -Wno-deprecated-declarations -DPNG_NO_MMX_CODE -DVACA_ALLEGRO -s -O3 -DNDEBUG -DDEFAULT_PREFIX="\""/usr/local"\"" -o obj/unix/main.o -c src/main.cpp
/bin/sh: allegro-config: not found
In file included from src/main.cpp:19:0:
./config.h:47:26: fatal error: allegro/base.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [obj/unix/main.o] Error 1
</code>

no idea though what is needed. Maybe either make needs to be told that the library and stuff is located in /urr/local or something else, will be investigating it. Help welcome.

Note about allegro :- I do not know what distribution is the OP running. at my end running on Debian sid box. There's a wishlist bug filed against allegro sometime back http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612778 but the maintainers are MIA (missing in action) :(

ASE uses Allegro 4, not 5. Allegro 5 is a complete redesign and not compatible with 4.
