Again - installation

martin · Post by **martin** » Mon Dec 15, 2003 1:31 pm

spunti: did you set up your gfx-card for hardware OpenGL acceleration? start glxgears and look at the framerate (reported in the console). It should be a few thousand fps if you have a recent card. If you don't have 3D acceleration, try to install it first before you continue with vegastrike.

the setup script (more precise the configure script) looks in certain location for the presence of the libGLU.so file and maybe some other files as well. Take a look at the config.log file - it should say which files are missing. Try to locate them on your harddisk. You can also use the forum search function and try to find something in the "compiling problems" forum.

I've got a MSI Nvidia Geforce4 420 MX. My driver came with the Suse-Online-Update from the Nvidia-Server, the 3D is activated but I get only 1.500 FPS:-(.
I think this is a little bit less. Some month ago I played vegastrike on this machine in Windows 2000 and the speed was good. I will see, if I can improve my FPS in Linux and then try to come clear with the vegastrike confige script.

Thnx so far

Ok people! I did go trough ./configure without errors!!!
then I executed ./setup.sh
compilation started...
...some strange things appeared on my screen... OK
and there were some warnings (I mean a lot) is it important?
But then at the end i got this:

then run vslauncher to start Vega Strike

what does it mean this "Error 1" ? Is it critical?
when i run vslauncher the bash error appears: command not found...
So, what do you say my friends?
Is it installed already? or
How can I start the game?

I am sorry for confusing both of you... i ran glxgears but the graphic window was covered! Sorry for that...
real score is about 2200fps...

OK! i figured out what was wrong with this gl_init.o and stuff
(for lost souls like me: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/phpwi ... talling#Q5 it is the trick that helped)

BUT....
compiling ... compiling ....
And what? another error:

I did this "--disable-sound" but as it is shown above it didin't helped!
Can some Allmighty Developer explain the situation?
What to do next? I would be very greatful for any help

.
And you now what? It is (VegaStrike) the hardest to install game I have ever met!

But i will not give it up! I have learnt a lot about Linux during the "fight"

.

But anyway: is there any easer way to install it? Some kind of instalation for numbs?

Post by **ace123** » Tue Dec 16, 2003 3:14 am

run

Code: Select all

make -k

Soundserver is not required, so the -k will force it to continue past the errors.

SDL_mixer.h come with libsdl-mixer devel

martin · Post by **martin** » Tue Dec 16, 2003 12:38 pm

on SuSE 8.2 it's in SDL_mixer. You can see what files are in a rpm package by running
rpm -qlp <filename.rpm>
If the package is already installed:
rpm -ql <packagename>
To see which packages you have installed:
rpm -qa|sort

Is there really no way to offer a Suse-rpm here? As I mentioned it is the biggest Linux-distributer in Germany.
Perhaps I could create such a rpm with help, but I'm very new at linux.

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 1:50 am

ther is already some rpms, not suse specific but should work fine, grab them and try, there is many posts explaining how to use the rpms, and how to get ride of errors

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 1:53 am

@simonide: which version of openal are you using? how do you installed it?

symonides · Post by **symonides** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 10:57 am

I've found this two rpms installed:

openal-devel-20030131-32
OpenAL-0.0.6-CVS311202

Maybe they should be exactly te same? What do you think?
I installed them through rmp-something - without errors(double click on rpm packet in Krusader and then window apears - kpackage or something).

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 12:34 pm

your rpm are old as the world! take openal by cvs, it is really easy to compile, and it will be up to date, your rpms are 1 year old

Any ideas what kind of an error it is this time?

God (or Allmighty Developer) is this some kind of "Never-ending story"?

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Thu Dec 18, 2003 3:12 am

tools is still a work in progress, if I remind. So don't expect to compile it so soon

symonides · Post by **symonides** » Thu Dec 18, 2003 10:04 am

So just "make -k" them?
How can I do it using "setup.sh" script?

symonides · Post by **symonides** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 4:38 pm

KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!!

I need your help!!!

Yeah I know you have more important things to do than just answering my stupid questions. But Jesus said: "Share (your knowledge) with your brothers and sisters!" Is it Christmas or what???

martin · Post by **martin** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 4:56 pm

What's your question ?
If it's about the "tools" just ignore the error message.

Inspect the setup.sh and root-setup.sh to see what they do.
You might have to do the steps manually. (At least I had).
They basically copy the files to the final location.
The problem with the setup scripts is that they have no
error checking. I think that I had to tweak some paths as well.

Make sure you have no programs running that produce audio
output when you start VS.
