Can´t compile vegastrike 0.3.1 for linux

Trying to build your own version of Vega Strike and having problems? Unix users, paste your config.log here (stderr output alone is not helpful).

Can´t compile vegastrike 0.3.1 for linux

Post by sherwood »

I´ve downloaded the source rpm of vegastrike 0.3.1

I´ve resolved the dependencies, but there are several missing files in the source package:
./configure
and all the Makefile.in ´s in every subdirectory.

Why is this?

Thanx

why have you took the source rpm?
The normal one is perfect.

What is the name of the missing files with the source rpm?

When you say "the normal one", are you talking about
linux_vegastrike-0.3.9.sh ? I`ll try this one :)


I had downloaded "vegastrike 0.3.1 Source RPM" from the Files section...
About the lost files, I know that the ./configure shell script is lost, but configure.in is present.
There should be (but isn`t) a Makefile.in in each directory, so even if make a configure using autoconf, the script doesn`t find the Makefile.in files.
There are only Makefile.am files in the subdirectories of the source tree.

that is right......we use both autoconf and automake....

why are you worrying about this anyway...does it not build right for you? you should just rpm --rebuild the file....

Thanks for the help.
I used automake anda autoconf and could compile the rpm source.
The only problem I had, was a "no space left on device" halfway through the compilation... I had 300 mb free in the Linux Partition.

One last question: The linux-vegastrike etc shell script downloaded from the main page, downloads vegastrike 0.3.9 AND the 0.3.9 data. Can I play vs 0.3.9 using then 0.3.1 data?
I have a SLOW dialup connection and can´t download everithing...
And if I stop the download, and try later, it starts all over again...

Thank you

Hmm. You can try... but there's a 99% chance vegastrike will start giving wierd errors.

If you have a CVS directory in the 0.3.1 data, you can just do:
cvs -z9 udpate -d -P -r HEAD
or if it gives an error about the -r option or missing arguments try:
cvs -z9 udpate -d -P -rHEAD

Otherwise... you will need to checkout the 3.9 data.
