===static builds===

as alternative you can try the one of the linux static builds:



* [https://springrts.com/dl/buildbot/default/{{EngineBranch:Testing}}/{{EngineVersion:Testing}}/linux32/spring_%7b{{EngineBranch:Testing}}%7d{{EngineVersion:Testing}}_minimal-portable-linux32-static.7z static linux build (32 bit)]



* [https://springrts.com/dl/buildbot/default/{{EngineBranch:Testing}}/{{EngineVersion:Testing}}/linux64/spring_%7b{{EngineBranch:Testing}}%7d{{EngineVersion:Testing}}_minimal-portable-linux64-static.7z static linux build (64 bit)]

== Lobby ==



Make sure your lobby client is configured to use the correct spring binary & unitsync!

On Linux, this will usually be ''/usr/local/bin/spring'' & ''/usr/local/lib/libunitsync.so''.



Use one of the test lobby servers (recommended):

* ''lobby1.springlobby.info:8200''

* ''lobby2.springlobby.info:8200''



Or alternatively, configure your lobby so it does not insist using the release version of the engine:

* SpringLobby: set <code>DisableVersionCheck=1</code> in ''springlobby.conf''

* TASClient: press CTRL+SHIFT+F6 and enable "Ignore server version incompatibility"
