Noob compiler problems with 12396

Storm · Post by **Storm** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 6:38 pm

New to vegastrike, very excited to try it out but failing miserably to get it compiled and running.

Ubuntu 8.04.01 hardy
Revision 12396 for vegastrike, data, and hqtextures
bootstrap seems to work alright
configure seems to work alright
make fails at -lvorbisfile which naturally means make install doesn't even really get going and fails with a -lvorbisfile message as well

Couple things I was wondering about:
1) why is the vegastrike version number in my config.log 0.4.4
2) why does ffmpeg detect fail but ffmpeg is installed and updated
3) how do I get past the lvorbisfile issue

Things that I've tried:
make clean
make distclean
svn st and remove all files that are marked ? but left the boost external objects
svn up
apt-get remove ffmpeg and lvorbisfile
apt-get install ffmpeg and lvorbisfile

If I understand the process correctly, I need to do the following to get vegastrike running:

svn up both the data and vegastrike directories - done
./bootstrap - done
./configure - partial failure?
make - failed

Once make completes, I go back to the Setup section from vegastrike.sourceforge.net/wiki/HowTo:Checkout_SVN and should be able to run vegastrike from /data

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

you need developer versions of each library as well.

So you need to install libvorbis-dev and libvorbisfile-dev

LOL. That's embarrassing. I would have sworn I had installed every libvorbis possibility.

Compiled and up and running now.

Thanks!
