Title: bad links
Post by: draeath on April 01, 2008, 12:59:59 am

The links in the Current OS X and Linux versions ... (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,44374.0.html) thread have all been replaced with some youtube vid...

Anyone have the valid data? If this is some April fools thing, I'm gonna be quite irritable... I needed to grab the source to recompile as the version the installer pulls needs glibc 2.4, my distro has 2.3-something.

EDIT: ALL user links are redirected! WTF?!? Is there any way I can stop this? Some hidden preference somewhere?

Yes, its some april fools thing.  All external links go to that.  The easiest way around it is to quote a post and extract the link from there (but don't post anything obviously).

Oh, and BTW you can thank Goober for that joke.

Thanks for the quick answer!

Unfortunately, that's a locked thread so the quote options are not displayed. Great. Thanks Goober... bad taste I would say, not allowing a work-around. So much for getting some gaming done on my day off.


 
Tried to be sneaky and edit my quote URL to point to his thread/message, and it almost worked: "An Error Has Occurred! This topic is locked, you are not allowed to post or modify messages..."

You should be able to get any links you need from that.

Thanks! Compiled and flying! (of course after slaughtering the makefiles to get rid of -g and replace -Os with -O3 (it ignored my cflags... grr))

On a completely unrelated note, trying to compile the clean unmodified 3.6.9 Final with debug and gprof support died with undefined functions... <shrugs>

I'm a fan of optimizing for speed vs size, but isn't O3 a bit aggressive for this project?

-O3 used to cause various strange bugs to pop up at random times, but I think that I've long since gotten all of that worked out (just bad/old code stuff).  So I don't really think that it's too aggressive, and I even tend to use it myself.  Of course, simply using O3 doesn't mean it's actually going to be any better than O2.

I just have it set to use -Os simply because it's a good mix for most people and works well as a default.
