Release CVS checkout won't compile

[ixs]

Hello,

checking out the vegastrike_0_4_3 tagged files from CVS (or SVN) seems not to result in a compilable source tree.

Calling automake on the source tree results in the following error:

+ automake --add-missing
configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
launcher/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
src/Makefile.am:4: required directory src/boost does not exist
src/Makefile.am:4: required directory src/boost129 does not exist
configure.in:26: installing `./config.guess'
configure.in:26: installing `./config.sub'
configure.in required file `src/boost/Makefile.in' not found
configure.in required file `src/boost129/Makefile.in' not found
configure.in required file `src/boost129/converter/Makefile.in' not found
configure.in required file `src/boost129/object/Makefile.in' not found

The boost and the boost129 subdir is missing from the src-dir.

Any suggestions? I couldn't find anyone with the same problem around.

thx

use the bootstrap script!

Actually, that's not the right solution.

Attached are some patches, which make vegastrike compile on recent systems. However, the game still crashes on startup on my testsystem with a segfault.

BTW: Is there some easier way contacting the developers than this forum? There is the vegastrike developer mailinglist, but it looked pretty dead to me.

BTW2: It would be nice, if the extensions .diff and .patch would be allowed by the forum.

It's not dead, it just doesn't have much traffic .... mail there and all the devs *will* see your message

The mailinglist is about 50-75% spam traffic, but we do all read it.

I prefer IM as a medium of communication, personally.
