It is best to remove any previous version of pinball before installing a new
version. If you previously installed from an rpm package, write
sudo rpm -e pinball. If you previously installed from source code, go
to the pinball source directory
and write sudo make uninstall.
NOTE: A user and group named 'games' must exist before installation. This
user and group exist by default on most systems. Else:
sudo useradd 'games'
After checking that you have the necessary libraries (libsdl, libsdl-image, libsdl-mixer) installed, you are ready to install.
If you're installing from an .rpm package, write
sudo rpm -i pinball-x.x.x.rpm.
If you're compiling from source, check that you also have development versions of the libraries installed. They usually have a name like sdl-devel.x.x.x.rpm or libsdl-dev.
Then install with the usual:
libtoolize
aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
automake --add-missing
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo make clean
The game is started with pinball.
