Thanks to alocacoczte for pointing me to a patch uploaded to the Discord server of the game. The game now loads and plays correctly.

There is something with setting the data dir that I don't understand. I tried to set some variables in src/CMakeLists.txt so that include/config.h had the right data directory, but the po files still cannot be found. I'm missing something...

Yes I have same issue when I started. This is the log message:

Hello @xafnir, I run in the same exact issue. I tried with vanilla files and with v1.07 files that included German and French PAKs, but to no success. I don't know why it happens, sorry.

Thanks for the 0.98.4 Update. After installing, I have a problem. When I start dunelegacy I receive this Message:

The following files are missing for language "LanguageFileExtendsions":
LanguagePakFiles
Language is changed to English!

After clicking OK, there is a second message with an io_error.

..FileManager.cpp:151: Cannot find 'TextH.LanguageFileExtendsion"

Do you know how to solve it?

I have updated the package to the latest 0.98.4 version. The old TextManager class patch is not needed anymore and it has been deleted, but I have added a new patch to fix compilation of network code.

The source code now builds with CMake instead of autotools.

Installation is still done manually, but icons installation has been fixed.

I have updated Dune Legacy to the latest available version.

The latest 0.97.0 source is not distributed as an archive, nor is it tagged on git. I am using the latest commit on the master branch. By looking at the config.h file we can see that this commit bumped the version string to 0.97.02.

The code does not need the SDL2_mixer patch anymore, but it needs another small patch to allow the TextManager class to compile. There were also some issues with autoconf and with make install and I had to switch to a manual installation process.

Apart from that, it should be working fine.
