Revision as of 10:11, 12 December 2011

Install the YAL dependencies (see the table below)
Download YAL (http://vega.livecd.pl/~havner/yal/linux/yal-0.3-rc2.tar.bz2)
Open a terminal window
Extract the tarball with tar xjf ~/Downloads/yal-0.3-rc2.tar.bz2 (modify the path if you downloaded the tarball elsewhere)
cd yal/trunk (still need to double check the extraction path)
./build-all.sh
If there were no errors, you should now have a "bin" directory in yal/trunk
Make the binary executable with chmod 755 bin/fs2_launcher
Copy bin/fs2_launcher into your FS2 directory (or anywhere in your $PATH that you like)
Optional: create a shortcut on your desktop

YAL Library Dependencies
Distribution	Command to install dependencies
Fedora 16	`sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ make qt qt-devel SDL-devel`
