  Compilation issues... posted by PRAEst76 @ 78.152.244.70 on May 27 2008 7:15 PM  

Rather frustratingly I can't get this to compile. ./configure seems to go fine but make ends with:

tmapppro.S: Assembler messages:
tmapppro.S:125: Error: Bad parameter list for macro `dofpcalcs'
tmapppro.S:306: Error: no such instruction: `dofpcalcs'
tmapppro.S:367: Error: no such instruction: `dofpcalcs'
tmapppro.S:464: Error: no such instruction: `dofpcalcs'
tmapppro.S:565: Error: no such instruction: `dofpcalcs'
make[2]: *** [tmapppro.o] Error 1

Any ideas?

Hello, I downloaded the cvs in dir d2x. The I ran sh ./autogen.sh to get a configure. ./configure worked well: d2x has been configured successfully. Platform(s): linux sdl Features : network kalinix ipx fastfileio release debug But wen I ran make it stated strutil.c:26:21: inferno.h: File or directory not found strutil.c: In Funktion »change_filename_extension«: strutil.c:147: error: `FILENAME_LEN' undeclared (first use in this function) strutil.c:147: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once strutil.c:147: error: for each function it appears in.) make[2]: *** [strutil.o] Fehler 1 Sure enough there is a ./main/inferno.h Because Google didn't find a similar problem I must have done something unique stupid. Any idea? Thanks in advance!

can't get configure to work. sh autogen.sh results in this message: aclocal: configure.ac: 402: macro `AM_PROG_AS' not found in library Anyone know if this is significant?

Hi,

I compiled D2X on my own a few times and i found out that you'll need alot development tolls installed. Also it is important to have the right automake version installed. I think version 1.7 is the one i have at home.

The next you'll need is SDL-dev packets and the libgl-dev packets installed. I hope thats all if not it would be better if you past the whole error message line.

have a good time,
Steffen

  Getting this on CVS posted by Anonymous @ 68.188.19.203 on May 28 2005 9:51 AM  
This may be a dumb question, but I have been running linux less that 48 hours. How do you download off of CVS? Just a question, as I'm new to the whole opensource movement. Chaz706

  Re: Getting this on CVS posted by Anonymous @ 70.97.195.21 on May 28 2005 10:03 PM  
Well, as it says on the D2X website:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.icculus.org:/cvs/cvsroot login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.icculus.org:/cvs/cvsroot co d2x 
Copy those two commands into a terminal prompt (when it asks for password use "anonymous") and you'll get a directory named d2x containing the current source code. You'll then have to compile it, which will require that you have a dev environment set up and that you have installed all the -dev or -devel packages that this program will be linking to. This might be considered an "advanced" topic, so you might want to either skip it for now or get a hold of a friend who knows your distro and can walk you through it in case you have problems. If you want to give it a shot anyway, go ahead and download the cvs as above and then type
 cd d2x
 ./configure
 make
It will probably bomb out on configure, and complain it can't find this or that library -- which means you need the -dev or -devel package for that library. If it doesn't fail, then type "su", enter your root password when asked, and type "make install" and you're done.

Very tanks for this. I love this game and the port work nice. There is one thing I want, more mouse sensitivity. =)
Tanks again, and sorry for my VERY poor english.

  Descent 2 (Ubuntu 2.6.10-5) posted by Anonymous @ 203.173.22.118 on Mar 28 2005 6:41 AM  
Installed SDL, compiled Descent 2. added the latest NVIDIA driver and Descent 2 worked. had huge troubles getting it going with my debian install tho ): The playability and quality is amazing; brings back a lot of memories and a few tears to the eyes On the later levels (Descent 2) there appears to be some rendering issues especially on level 24. A number of sections of the level initially do not appear they show up as black. Steve

Just compiled it under Debian 3 on my iMac (if anybody wants PowerPC binaries, post here) - works withought a hitch - nice to play one of my favourite games of all time under Linux. Shame development seems to have stagnated on it.

Hi there,

The game is still in development, just check out the CVS tree and compile this one. The webpage isn't that active and the curent version you can download there is old, older as old.. almost historic.

If you have any trouble to compile the game let me know i can give you some help. Or ask directly into the mailinglist of the Descent source this one isn't that dead.

Anyway you can play the game fine in e network and even on the old Kali system. For this you have XKali and Kalinix.

have a good time,
Steffen

  doesn't compile posted by Dravis @ 69.162.164.92 on Aug 4 2004 4:55 PM  
I prefer to compile games from source, however d2x refuses to compile properly, regardless of andy effort on my part.

d2x compiles fine. You didn't even bother to say what your problem was.
