compiling the svn: need help to install the .pk3's correctly
« on: August 31, 2007, 02:08:53 pm »
hi
i was about to compile the svn version to actually see how far you are(and to help debug if help is needed^^)
my problem with compiling is, that the game compiles without errors, but doesnt recognises where the .pk3's are in.

here are 2 examples wich whont work for me:
[additional information: i try to install it in the home dir to pack it as an package and to install/remove/update it easier]
Code: [Select]
./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=share
make || return 1
make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
cp -t $startdir/pkg/usr/share/ufoai/base/ base/*.pk3
this way it whont work since he trys to create the /usr/share/ufoai dir without the root rights.(u maybe see in the last line where the stuff is supposed to come in)

Code: [Select]
./configure --prefix=/usrthis way would work, since he installs himself correctly into the pkg/ dir, but still seeks the pk3's in this pkg dir, wich is deleted after building the package.

i already posted a topic about this problem in the board for the utility i use to create this package but i dont know who to ask actually.
some additional information:
-OS: ArchLinux
-used Utility(to create package): AUR // makepkg

you've just grabbed the svn version? then you just have to run ./configure && make in your trunk directory
