Hi guys.
I am currently running Debian "Lenny" in my Desktop (kernel: 2.6.26) and I have the following problem:
I am a fan of Babylon 5, that's why I play TBP. Now some TBP-campaigns require an Inferno build. Since I haven't found a pre-compiled inferno build for Linux, I thought that I might try to compile my own. So I downloaded the source tarball  from here (3.6.9 final), unpacked it und tried to compile.. oh, as a sidenote: I think I only need the binary of the INF build, but since
a) I don't even know what I am really compiling here (it might be just the binary)
b) if there is a way to just compile the binary, I have been unable to find it
I decided to just try to compile the whole thing.

"./configure -enable-inferno" worked well, and told me which dependencies I still need. after installing those, it finished without error..
so then I tried "make"..
first of all, that told me that "INT_MAX" wasn't defined, so I replaced INT_MAX in the /ai/aiturret.cpp with the max value of integers in 32-bit systems (which is 2147483647, iirc)
the next error was that the /theora/theora.h and the /vorbis/codec.h were missing.. so I downloaded the dev packages for both of those and placed symbolic links in the respective folders... that fixed that error...
then /AL/al.h and /AL/alc.h were missing, so I added those as well...

but now I have an error without a missing file...:

and since I am no coder, I have no idea how I could possibly fix that

Would Tinman's build and the last page of this thread be of any use?

[Nordwin]

I don't know, it's a Mac OSX build...
But as far as I know, these are not compatible with Linux..

[chief1983]

Man I have no idea...I know that it compiles just fine on Ubuntu though, I didn't even have to do any manual symlink editing, and I've never seen that INT_MAX error before.  What compiler version are you using?  And did you run autoconf before ./configure?

[Nordwin]

autoconf? the INSTALL file says that I should run autogen.sh before configure... but I cannot find either...
those are the files I found  in the archive:

acinclude.m4  AUTHORS    code          config.log     config.sub  configure.ac  depcomp               INSTALL     libjpeg  Makefile     Makefile.in  NEWS      README
aclocal.m4    ChangeLog  config.guess  config.status  configure   COPYING       FS2OpenSCPReadMe.doc  install-sh  lua      Makefile.am  missing      projects

[Nordwin]

Ok, I have no idea WHAT the problem is.... but now I tried to compile the other build in that thread, the 3.6.10 one... and that did it without error...

So now I'll just use that one for inf-only campaigns and won't care about why the 3.6.9 didn't compile.....

Anyway, thanks for your time...

[chief1983]

3.6.9 might have had a different compiling setup, I'm not sure.  Either way glad it's figured out.

[smurd]

Debian Lenny uses gcc/g++ 4.3 by default, which fails to work for me as well, when I try to compile 3.6.9.
Install gcc-4.1 and g++-4.1, and run make CC=gcc-4.1 CXX=g++-4.1, that works for me.

[Nordwin]

tried that... it does not give me those other errors (even though I did not edit the source code, nor created those symbolic links), only the last one still leaves me unable to finish compilation:

Code: [Select]

graphics/gropengltexture.cpp: In function ‘int opengl_check_framebuffer()’:
graphics/gropengltexture.cpp:1819: error: ‘GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_DUPLICATE_ATTACHMENT_EXT’ was not declared in this scope

The INT_MAX thing is something that broke with newer versions of GCC (not a GCC problem though).  That was fixed in the 3.6.10 code, but the problem wasn't known at the time that 3.6.9 was released.  The fix is just to add #include <limits.h> to any file that messes up with any of those *_MAX or *_MIN errors.

The GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_DUPLICATE_ATTACHMENT_EXT thing was just a bug in the code, where the error handling code referenced something that was actually deprecated at the time and once the GL headers removed it then it broke compiling.  You can just safely remove that error check in the code and it will all still work fine.

[Nordwin]

tried that, worked, thanks!

Even though I'll use the 3.6.10 build for INF, it's good that I now can compile a 3.6.9 debug build as well.... and I know why compiling didn't work

I thank all of you for helping me!
