T3D Linux Port

#21 Well all I really need to hear is that those missing header files aren't needed. I was just being lazy and blindly leaving it up to GCC to pick up any code errors and the many case errors in the includes, so I guess I'll just have to look at everything in the gl directory and figure out what's missing compared to the D3D stuff. The window manager and input stuff is easy-peasy because I've been doing X11 and SDL programming for years. I've not really looked at the sound framework in T3D, but I've written a lot of OpenAL code over the years so I'm hoping there won't be anything that takes more then a few minutes to sort out. Since I know that this port is going to be a huge amount of work and I'm not expecting any help I'm starting off slow so it'll probably be a while just to get T3D compiled and then from there it could easily be a matter of weeks or days depending on how motivated I am to get a usable (but buggy, and not feature complete) port.

What would really help out a lot would be some UML or at least a listing of what source files belong to T3D and what doesn't, like the contents of "generated."

bank: I'm not really sure why you would be having trouble getting the core to compile as all I had to do was fire up codeblocks in windows, import the vs2008 project, fix up the project so codeblocks could compile T3D using the vc compiler, then switch to using mingw and fix up some code errors, and then go into linux and use the codeblocks project I had created. This doesn't get it running in any useful way, but except for after adding the gl folder to the project and blocking any windows specific stuff everything does compile.

#22 Hi All

I am also trying to make dedicated server in torque 3d. I dont know how to make the dedicated server in torque 3d. In tge 1.7.. I am using this command

make -f mk/configure.mk OS=LINUX COMPILER=GCC4 BUILD=RELEASE

but i dont found there is no mk directory in torque 3d. How can i build dedicated server.I want to connect through windows client.

is there any other option in torque 3d.

is torque 3d contains dedicated server options or not.......

is torque 3d can run on linux server with windows client... or not.....

plz answer this questions. I am trying to compile for that.


Thanks in advance

#23 Right now there is now linux build for T3D regarding client or server. There is some work being done on the server end, but no official announcement of any sort. Pretty much windows/mac only right now.

#24 From what I understand, there is an official dedicated server in the works, but as for getting the windows client to run under linux, it is possible to do with Wine, however it is a lot of work, and it really only just runs (ie. not very well). I've been working on a linux port, however I've been waiting for the next release since it apparently fixes things important to a linux port, and I've not had a lot of time to look into it since I started the port. If anyone else thinks they can do a linux port, by all means go ahead. I leave for Navy boot camp in just under a month, and then I've got 2 years of training following that, so it won't be hard to get a linux port done before I have a chance to finish.
