I downloaded the debs of 2.3.1, and after applying mattn's symlink fix, I was able to play...However, I had a terror mission (Xi'an -- Big city), and the scenario loaded, however when I entered it, my troops were in the drop ship, and I was unable to move or do anything. I aborted and reloaded a saved game, and went into the same scenario, and did it on auto. The game seemed to hang there and never completed.
So I decided to download the latest git repo, but I am running into issues. I got almost all of the prereqs, except for libjpeg62-dev. Current versions of Debian link a number of libraries (libdirectfb-dev libjpeg8-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libtiff4-dev) against libjpeg8-dev rather than libjpeg62-dev, and hence the packages above are all removed if you install libjpeg62-dev...
So what do I need to do to get it to compile?
Thanks,
