How to build non "+dev" version from source?

[dwarftough]

Hi! Wanted to test MP in the newest versions, but when I build and open Wesnoth, I get 1.17.26+dev and when I enter the MP lobby, it's empty. As far as I remember, 1.17.* + dev and just 1.17.* from user sources have different MP lobbies. How do I build non "+dev" to get an actual lobby with players?

You can try detaching HEAD from the commits to end it on the commit that tagged "1.17.26"

In Git, the detached HEAD state occurs when the HEAD does not point to a branch, but instead points to a specific commit or the remote repository. In both of the diagrams in the previous section, HEAD points to the most recent commit in the currently checked out branch, which is its normal state.

It doesn't matter whether it's a detached HEAD or not - what matters is just that it's built from the commit that's been tagged "1.17.26". Technically, it's just a file in the source tree that gets changed when creating that version, and then immediately changed again in the next commit.

Practically you just need to ask which port is used for 1.18 server, and connect to it directly.

Alright, I build from the latest commit on the branch of the target version, instead should've used the tag, got it, I'll try.

So... which port does the 1.18 server use?

1.18 server is not up yet. You can connect to port 14997 to get to the 1.17 server.

Alright, it works, thanks
