Hi there

I managed to compile GiGi thx to the patch, but now I have another problem that make me think I must be a little bit of a noob... I miss files in the CVS source to compile FreeOrion :

Code: Select all

 ./autogen.sh
HINT: If this script fails, try './update-configure.sh'
** Creating configure and friends
+ aclocal -I m4
aclocal: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required
+ autoconf
autoconf: no input file
+ autoheader
autoheader: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required
+ ./create_commonfilesinc.pl
./autogen.sh: line 9: ./create_commonfilesinc.pl: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
+ automake -a --foreign
automake: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required
+ set +x
** Unable to generate all required files!
** you'll need autoconf 2.5, automake 1.7, libtool 1.5, autoheader and aclocal installed
** If you don't have access to these tools, you can use the
** update-configure.sh script which will download the generated files,
** just remember to call it from time to time, it will only download
** if some files have been changed

here is a listing of my files

Code: Select all

/FreeOrion# ls
autogen.sh      default           Makefile   RELEASE-NOTES-V02.txt  util
autom4te.cache  Empire            mkauto.sh  save                   VeraBd.ttf
client          FO-autotools.tar  msvc       SConstruct             VeraBI.ttf
combat          Installer         network    server                 VeraIt.ttf

data            m4                Python     universe

is there a problem ? I made again the check from the CVS archive, but didn't get any configure.[in,ac}

[Yoghurt]

Use "scons", the autotools build system is not supported anymore. Anyway, FO will still segfault with 1.33. Work is underway.

[Remontoir]

Ok thanks

Anyway here is what scons answered ;

As I already said, you need to make changes to FO too, but there is no sense in telling you which, as the resulting binary will segfault once you try to go to the planet view.

For now, try to revert to boost version 1.32 and recompile GG.

[nabla]

I can't compile FO:

[email protected] ~/freeorion/FreeOrionCompile $ scons

I am quite sure that I installed everything that is needed. I think it is strange that it can't find files and then later it can.
What can I do?
thx

[Yoghurt]

Try

Code: Select all

scons with_graphviz_libdir=/usr/lib/graphviz

or wherever the graphviz libs are located in your distro.

[nabla]

Thank you for your fast help. The configuration process was successfull now:

Code: Select all

However, I get some errors after that:

Is it a problem of my gigi installation. I did it with a gentoo ebild found in gentoo bugzilla.

thx

EDIT:
My installed packages:
fmod-3.74
boost-1.32.0-r4
devil-1.6.7-r1
gigi-0.6.0
libsdl-1.2.8-r1
sdl-net-1.2.5

[Yoghurt]

Did you check out GIGI_VERSION_0_6_0? (Latest CVS does not work!)

Just issue

Code: Select all

cvs -z3 up -r GIGI_VERSION_0_6_0 -Pd

in your GiGi source dir to make sure.

I used GG-0.6.0.tgz available from sf.net (the one was proposed to be used by the gentoo ebuild).

Just issue

Code: Select all

cvs -z3 up -r GIGI_VERSION_0_6_0 -Pd

in your GiGi source dir to make sure.

I'm going to try this.

thx

The ebuild posted in gentoo bugzilla installs GG in /usr not /usr/local as scons expects. Manually change the path in scons build file, as the last time I checked there was no autodetection.

Thx. That did it. What I did

scons with_graphviz_libdir=/usr/lib/graphviz with_gg_include=/usr/include/GG with_gg_libdir=/usr/lib/ configure

Now compiling....

[nabla]

Compiling succeeded. Now I get the following message:

Any idea?

btw. it is graphviz 2.2

This might be a known bug...

Is /usr/lib/graphviz in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH? It looks like it is not. BTW, this is a runtime link error, so can't be a bug as Geoff suggests.

Hi everyone.

I have a MSDN Academic Alliance copy of MS Visual Studio, so I'm wondering it it's better to use the MSVC build system or SCons. Can I get some advice?

I do have some experience with programming, etc, but everything I've done to date has been on Solaris at uni; I've never attempted a "real project" under Windows before. I don't have a Linux install at home so I can't just go with the familiar system at this stage.
