Linux
There are too many distributions and releases to offer a unique way to the UDK installation. We've chosen to work with the most recent Ubuntu release, 9.10 at the moment. All commands are tested on an up to date installation and may need some tweaking on other systems / versions.
Requirements
•GNU C++ compiler toolchain
•zlib development libraries
•CMake 2.6 or higher ⇒ http://www.cmake.org
•wxWidgets 2.8.10 or higher ⇒ http://www.wxwidgets.org [optionally, only if UDKLab should be build]
sudo
The Linux UDK comes as gzip'ed tar archive, as the Windows installer won't usually work. The best way is to extract it to the home directory:
tar xzvf
This creates a directory /home/[user]/udkapi[version] which is subsequently called udkroot. The following examples assume an installation root in ~/udkapi2.0.
Important: Commands sometimes contain a ` symbol, have attention to use the right one, refer to command substitution if not familiar with.
Drivers
The driver installation on Linux systems is a bit more complicated than on Windows systems. The drivers must be build against the installed kernel version. Updating the kernel requires a rebuild.
USB
As the USB driver is written by Cesys, the installation procedure is designed to be as simple and automated as possible. The sources and support files reside in directory <udkroot>/drivers/linux/usb. Just go there and invoke make.
cd ~/udkapi2.0/drivers/linux/usb make
If all external dependencies are met, the build procedure should finish without errors. Newer kernel releases may change things which prevent success, but it is out of the scope of our possibilities to be always
