#142 I had the same problem. I believe you have to use CMake.

#143 Used CMake to generate project files using CodeBlocks-UnixMakefiles.


Opened project in Code Blocks. Clicked Build.

#144 Did you install all of the dependencies listed in the Setting up T3D to compile on linux documentation?

#145 I installed all the dependencies.

I was wondering how to compile it using CMake, I couldn't follow the tutorial too easily.

#146 @Ritvars

Quote:/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

This means that the linker can not find OpenGL 32bit library.

Try installing propietary drivers of your graphics card.

If that does not solve the problem, you will need to locate libGL and add the path to CMake variable TORQUE_ADDITIONAL_LINKER_FLAGS.

My english is horrible, sorry. Tell me if you need me to clarify some step of the manual.

#147 I can't get the software to compile an a 64-bit linux Mint (essentially Ubuntu)
Is there a possibillity to compile with a 64 bit system or do I still have to use chroot?

#148 Install the i386 libs and use the -m32 compiler flag.

#149 Updated dev_linux_opengl to Torque3D development branch.

@Felix
You have information on thread's header about compile and report problems. We need more information for solve your problem.

Quote:Is there a possibillity to compile with a 64 bit system or do I still have to use chroot?

We can use a 64bit OS. CHROOT are not necessary.

#150 @Felix In our case we use a crosscompiler. As of yet there is no 64bit build of Torque3D.

#151 @Luis: What Linux Distro are you using?

I have almost got mine compiling on Linux and want to just run through a few test compiles again, but I had to do a few things differently to your documentation.

If I am happy with the next few test builds, I am going to create some documentation on the steps I took to get it working.

Thanks again for all your work on this and other steering committee work. 8-}

#152 I use Ubuntu.

Compile documentation con help a lot :)

We can merge all for easy use.

Thx :)

#153 I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit and it says:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
bbswitch-dkms binutils dkms g++ g++-4.8 gcc gcc-4.8 libcaca-dev
libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng12-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev
libsdl1.2-dev libslang2-dev nvidia-331 nvidia-prime oracle-java8-installer
playonlinux

Now I still need libsdl1.2 etc. Why does it want to remove those? 64bit instructions are from:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28887086/T3D%20CMake%20docs/mdwiki.html#!wiki/Prepare_Linux_for_Torque3D.md

#154 When I last used ubuntu a few versions ago there was a package manager bug that prevented installing 32bit sdl 1.2 on a 64bit system because it was try to remove all the 64bit libraries. That looks like what you have. You'll need to install 32bit sdl 1.2 manually.

#155 Well it seems I took the wrong 2nd option. Choosing the first (64and32bit) option it doesn't want to remove anything.
I'll try that later as I run out of HD space right now.

#156 hi

i cloned the repo/dev_linux_opengl branch and followed the instructions provided here:

compile/build instructions

using CMake, all seemed to go well, when i go to run the project i get an error "Failed to set light manager"

here is my console.log:

console.log

which i think is telling me it isnt finding my graphics card ?

and here is the output if i run

strace ./Full

strace output

im running arch linux 64-bit with equivalent libs/deps installed, i would like to try fix this without installing the proprietary driver if possible as that would mean downgrading xorg to 1.12 ! which is a massive headache in itself :D

I have an ATI Radeon 2400 HD Pro and 3GB Core 2 Duo RAM (if it helps)

I do have an Ubuntu 64 bit machine available (specs unavailable at this time, but its better than my Arch tower) which i might try to follow the instructions on and see if i have any better success.

Any other information can be given upon request.

EDIT: i do play a game which uses an older version of the torque game engine, the game is called "Auteria". it too has a console.log and it has no problems finding my graphics card/driver:

auteria console.log

i know torque will have changed over the years but surely it should find my graphics card in a new version if it can in old version ?

EDIT 2: i made a fresh install on ubuntu 14.04 64-bit and get the exact same failed to set light manager error

Thankyou

#157 A little late but anyway, use AMD's GPU driver and it should be ok.

#158 i was hoping i wouldnt have to do that :( on Arch linux that means downgrading xorg to 1.12 and i broke it when i tried :P it should be a lot easier on ubuntu tho, will give it a run through this weekend hopefully and have some success . . .

#159 One problem you may come across is if the catalyst drivers actually support that card? it may well need the legacy drivers which are horrible :/

#160 it does need the legacy drivers, which i know from experience arent amazing :D

the open source alternative (Gallium) performs better in my opinion in most cases, supporting gallium as well as proprietary drivers could be a good idea ? do we know if this is the plan ?
