Linux SDK Installer

by Lee Latham · in Torque Game Engine · 03/31/2006 (3:39 pm) · 35 replies

Recently downloaded the TGE SDK installer for Linux, and I'm having some trouble getting the installer to work. My intention is to build a dedicated server for testing purposes.

So, I downloaded the installer and:

[root@ninja downloads]# chmod 755 TorqueGameEngineSDK-1.3.bin

[root@ninja downloads]# ./TorqueGameEngineSDK-1.3.bin

>>>>>>>>

Nothing happens. So, I figure I must need to have X installed, which I don't because I'm setting this up on a server. So I downloaded it to a Linux machine that DOES have X installed, and ran it again.

Again, nothing appears to happen.

Am I doing something wrong?

The "file" command tells me this:

TorqueGameEngineSDK-1.3.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically linked, corrupted section header size

Is the installer corrupted?

Thanks for any help.

Strange... I did get emails with all those times you tried to reply. Unfortunately, it's a little beyond my knowledge. David "NfoCipher" Bunt up above is the guy helping GG with the linux build of TGB. Maybe he can give you a hand with this.

Hopefully he is watching the thread with notify on also, this is the stopping point for me, unless I can get it to finish compiling, I won't be able to use it on Debian. Thanks again for the help.

Being that I really want to get this project off the ground on Linux, I decided to pickup SuSE 10.0 from Best Buy, since it comes with the manual in print. Hopefully I can do this on there instead of debian. Debian 'sarge' did support the TGE 1.3 though. Hopefully SuSE will support TGB. I have only a few more itterations of linux to go through before I bite the bullet and buy Red Hat... (hopefully avoidable)

You need to install the freetype2-devel package.

There's no need to change distros just because you're missing a few libraries.

Thanks for both suggestions, I will find the freetype2-devel package for debian tonight and try that first, then start download of ubuntu while I install SuSE. Out of Chaos, I will have stability.. maybe...

Any hint for : out.GCC3.RELEASE/platformX86UNIX/x86UNIXFileio.obj

I downloaded the linux source for the TGB from my accounts page. I will use the CVS one this weekend to see if that makes a difference. I spent a few hours lastnight setting up a SuSE 10.0 linux workstation with the dev tools, going to give it a wack on there tonight to see if that works out better. I think I have placed all the packages I need on it. Hopefully when this thing goes Gold, there will be an official Linux release of TGB that works out of the box with Linux.

Thanks again for all the help, I'll post my results later when I am able to get new results from a different Linux distro.

This isn't an error.

>Do you have download the source code from the cvs repository ?

TGB doesn't have a cvs repo.

>there will be an official Linux release of TGB that works out of the box with Linux.

TGB beta 4 does work out of the box with Linux. You just don't have your development environment set up correctly.

Interesting, since Torque Game Builder is only build 1.0.2 and alpha 1.1, where do I get beta 4?
Its not in my downloads, maybe that is my problem, my account downloads doesn't have beta 4, and like you said TGB doesn't have a CVS repo. Do you have access to a beta build that none of the rest of us do? Build 1.0.2 is not out of the box working.

Thanks ahead of time, nice to know there is a newer release than anything I can download at current.

To the left of the Linux downloads in your account, you will see an option to view downloads for all operating systems. You can then download the Windows .zip.

I will download this tonight onto my SuSE 10 box and see if I have better luck than I did with Debian, if not I'll bite the bullet and download ubuntu and reformat my Debian server with that linux build. Atleast with SuSE 10, I have gcc 4.0.2 lib, instead of Debian only seeming to support gcc 3.3.5, maybe that will make a difference.

Looks like I am SOL, there is no windows zip for a beta 4. All I have is:

TGB Indie - Source (1.1 RC1)
Torque Game Builder - all you need to make your own game! Provides all new editors, workflow tools, and documentation. Hardware-accelerated rendering, flexible particle effects systems, advanced collision detection, and optional physics. Now with Level Builder tools to speed up your development, support for 3D shapes, primitives like squares and triangles, and much more!
Estimated Download Time:
17 min on Cable/DSL or 1.9 hours on 56K Modem
NOTE: This link will expire in 8 hours.

Unless TGB Source (1.1 RC1) is Beta 4

The latest RC1 is an .exe now, which was released today. Yes, it is rather annoying not to be able to get the .zip.
