Hi,
Spreading the news of this(yes, it's been around for some time now):
http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Linux_CVS_Howto
Any help would be just dandy.
-
I just made a buttload of additions to it. I hope you don't mind, but since fs2_open linux is only available from CVS, I started expanding the article into a more general "Running fs2_open in linux" type of article. I think that's especially important if new linux users are being pointed to the article for help.
-
Good thinking Spectre. Some folks, like myself, are familiar with CVS stuff and getting things to compile and run in Linux, but there are lots of new users out there all the time.
-

Including myself. :)

That's great Spectre! :)
I started expanding the article into a more general "Running fs2_open in linux" type of article.
The article should be named something better to reflect it's actual contents.
Including myself.
Me too, I missed a Linux centric troubleshooting site when I started, that's why I started this.
-
Now the magic question... Is it missing anything? If only we had a new linux user to test it on.
-
Well... Maybe we should mention "configure --help"?
-
Hi!
I'm new here and followed the Howto to get fs2 running on linux. First of all, the Howto is very good :yes: and everything works for me ...well... except for the 'make' part. I don't know if this is only temporary because cvs is changing or somewhat..
The error occurs while processing [lab.o]. Maybe there is some package i am missing for compile dependencies? Does someone compiled the last cvs successfilly? I would be happy to hear so.. because i'd like to try the new mediavps :D.
-
I just updated from CVS and I'm compiling now. Hopefully I'll have an answer for you in a couple minutes. :)
-
Bad news... I didn't run into any problems. At least, I guess that's bad news. ;)
Could you post the last 10 or so lines from the failed compile? Hopefully I can find something useful in there.

I can think of a billion things that could go in there, I guess we'll add thing as we go...
Getting the game data files from soley within Linux is a hassle, I'm going to see about that later on.

I'm also getting this. Maybe it's GCC4 being picky.

That's exactly my output ^^
any suggestions?

Without being able to test this, since I am using GCC 3.4.2, which compiles OK as it is, I would attempt to remove the class names from the declaration of the two functions on the lines that give you the problem, i.e.:
Lines 535 and 630 of wmcgui.h would change from
void TreeItem::ClearAllItems(); // Line 535
void Text::SetSaveLoc(short int *sint_ptr, int save_method, short int max_value=SHRT_MAX, short int min_value=SHRT_MIN); //Line 630
to
void ClearAllItems(); //Line 535
void SetSaveLoc(short int *sint_ptr, int save_method, short int max_value=SHRT_MAX, short int min_value=SHRT_MIN); //Line 630
I would expect this should do it, since these functions are declared as members of the TreeItem and Text classes respectively and therefore there is really no need to include the class qualifier name in their declaration.

Thanks Alpha0, that fixed it.

What's the deal on LUA? is it a nessesary dep? it's not mentioned in configure anymore.
-
LUA is now activated by default.
It isn't a dep, because it's delivered with the fs2 CVS.
AFAIK, libjpeg and LUA are delivered within the fs2 CVS.
And when you look at the compile-Process of fs2_open, you will see, that those two libs will build right before fs2_open itself.

Ah! Thanks Mr_Maniac

Getting the game data files from soley within Linux is a hassle, I'm going to see about that later on.
Why? The HotU download should have everything you need in a rar/zip package. You may have difficulty getting the files out of the PC versions of the disks admittedly but if you're installing SCP you're probably better off with HotU than the ISOs anyway.

True, the HotU method is probably the best way of going about for Linux users, but I just can't help myself, I have to know.
Btw, karajorma, ever though of 'merging' your FAQ with the Wiki?
-
Constantly. I simply lack the time. There is an open invitation for people to rip bits out and stick it in the wiki whenever it explains something that isn't already in there. :)
