FreeOrion

Hi all,

I was thrilled when I heared about this project. I left work early to give this baby a try but I ran in some problems. I run Debian and I think I got all the packages right. I downloaded GiGi and compiled it, figured out that I didn't needed ./autogen any more and thus ran scons in the root directory of FreeOrion with the following result:


I do have log4cpp install abeit version 0.2.8. Which is a bit higher than the version required(0.2.7). Figured this was not a big deal but it appears it is. So I downloaded the old version and tried to compile it. This (as written on the Wiki Compilation page) ran in some problems and so I editted the files Clock.cpp/Clock.hh as described on the Wiki. But still this does not compile. Ow, I also tried to point to the lib dir with

That didnt help either.

I ran out of ideas. Can anybody help me? On a side note, I have a 500MHz Celeron 256MB does it even make sense to try and run it?

Thanks in advance!

I'm compilling with . Does that make a difference?

No, but please look closer at the output of scons....
It says you need log4cpp version 0.3.4b.
Version 0.2.8 never existed according to log4cpp website, and 0.2.7 is 9 months older than the required version (even 0.3.4b, apparently the last version is from 28 of October 2002)

Hi,
Yeah I got the newest version 0.3.5rc3 from their website and compiled with

which effectively uses version 3.3 of g++ (not gcc which is a C compiler, I found that out the hard way). And this actually worked!
On to the next problem... (fmod whining about a wrong version, solution: change the build_config.py file)
