Linux Client Progress?

#1 your version of gcc is a developer version and thereby very unstable. I had alot of problems with other software that didn't compile under MDK 8 but went ok on distros using gcc 2.95

#2 Well I can give 2.95 a shot but apparently it's supposed to work with gcc 3.0 which I have tried to no avail as well.

Have you gotten the V12 Client (not just the Server) to build under Linux? I'd like to know if its even possible at this point before I invest too much time trying to get something to work that's not even supposed too yet.

#3 Ryan's been working on the linux port... but ever since the SDK has been released he's been side tracked on his game project :) I've actually installed and compiled the SDK 1.0 release on my RedHat 6.2 distro. What errors are you getting? If you post them maybe Ryan can clear them up.

#4 Actually it's been my new job :-D. Did you install the required libraries like Mesa3D? If you copied the source from a Windows machine did you run the shell script in tools/unix/ to change the cr/lf's?

#5 Hi Ryan.

Yeah, I installed the sources by running the Installer under WINE, (rather than copying from my Windows partition) and I converted all EOL's from CRLF to LF and made sure all libs were installed. The unixchange.sh didn't work for me for some reason BTW but I have my own script for doing the exact same thing. :-)

I double checked the problem files to make sure about the EOL thing just to be sure. I'm really not sure why I'm getting the errors I'm getting.

I have a copy of RedHat 6.1 so I think I'll install that to a spare partition and see if I get the same errors when I try to compiler under that distro and report back, since Tim said he had luck under RH 6.2. Hopefully RH 6.1 insn't too different from 6.2. <:-)

BTW, no one has still answered my question about wether it's just the Server or a fully working Client/Server that gets built. (?) :-)

#6 When you run make, what sort of errors do you get? That could possibly point to a possibly obvious problem. Something we could possibly patch.

As for the client/server, only a server gets built. The *engine code* for the client gets built. However, the Linux specific windowing and GL code isn't fully in place and is still being worked on so you can't initiate a client on Linux.

#7 Okay, here are the errors I'm getting. I was procrastinating on posting this because I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something obvoius (ie: stupid) but what ever it is it seems to be eluding me. I'm trying this on a stock Mandrake 8.0 install. I also have gcc 3.0 which I built myself that I can enable by adding it to my path. I get the same problems with it as well so I assume it's not compiler related.

#8 You haven't configured the makefile correctly... you need to run this from the root v12 dir:

make -f mk/configure.mk OS=LINUX BUILD=DEBUG COMPILER=GCC2

You only need to do this once, once the makefile is configured, simply type "make" to build the example.

#9 Doh! Okay I overlooked that. Sorry. Alright, so I start over with a fresh source tree (with CRLF conversion). I run the following:

~/v12$ make -f mk/configure.mk OS=LINUX BUILD=DEBUG COMPILER=GCC2 && make

...and I still get the same errors (except replace VC6 with GCC2 in my previous post).

Any ideas? :-(

#10 What version of Mesa3D do you have? Try grabbing the latest from www.mesa3d.org.
