Problem Runnin VS in Linux

[Lazypete]

I`ve been able to compile the CVS source, but I have a problem.
Well I should say many problems.

I compiled VegaStrike succesfully
with some warning, but those are normal warning...
( signed int conversion and such )

So once I ran the make install.
I do vslauncher and the launcher pop up.
But I`m stuck there.

Any option I choose from there fails.
I can`t start a new game, I can`t even chose option.

When I chose option, it seems to start another instance
of vslauncher. ( if I do a ps ax, I get one more vslauncher
process for each time I click option )

Does anyone ever experienced that problem?

I will follow up on the error I get when I try to launch the
game when I get home tonite.

Here are some info.

Im running RH9
with the stock GL, GLU libs
I have glut-3.7 and I compiled
OpenAL from the creative cvs.

I checked out VS last nite ( sep 4 )
and OpenAL ( sep 4 )

on kernel 2.4.20-20.9 ( if Im not mistaken )

Thanx for the help!

I think you're supposed to run vsinstall

otherwise type

echo "yoursavegame" > ~/.vegastrike/save.txt

then just run vegastrike by typing
cd /usr/local/games/vegasstrike/data
vegastrike

you need to be in the data dir

After I did a updatedb I ran locate vsinstall
and only found one file which was vsinstall.1 in
the documentation directory.

Also after having run make install
the data file weren't copied.
When I launched vslauncher it complained that
it could not find the data in "insert a list of directory"
so I took one of them /usr/local/share/vegastrike/data
and copied the checked out data4.x directory in it.

The first time I did it, I probably made a mistake in the cp command. I erased everything and copied it back and now it's working.

I'll just update the Wiki with my experience.

Thanx Hellcat V

Now that it work. I can work on it
