SUSE - compiling manual :-)

[abrax]

Hello all,

I'm quite fresh linux user and I'm experiencing some troubles during my first ever compilation of a program: UFO:AI. I would like to play this superiour game but it takes time to find out how all this things work. It would be easier with some help :-)

So First I've installed UFO through Yast, but it had problems with saving and entering the battlefield, so I've downloaded "ufo:ai".run file. After running it I was given well known problem with missing "libcurl-gnutls.so.4" file... After several tries with symbolic links I've finally gave it up and here I am compiling the game from the sources.

After reading wiki and installing several additional programs from the list (make, gcc etc.) I'm still getting some troubles.:
So now let's see what I have:

So as I understand it If it was all right the next step shoul go without any problems? So please tell me what to do next because next step looks like this:

linux-j88j:/usr/local/games/ufoai/ufoai_2.2 # make
 * [MAP] ... linking  (-lm   -lz -ljpeg)
debug-linux-gnu-i386/tools/ufo2map/tools/ufo2map/levels.o: file not recognized: File truncated

make: *** [ufo2map] Błąd 1

Thank You in advance...

[Mattn]

please try make clean and then make again

[abrax]

Thank You :-) As far as I can tell it helped a lot :-)

Here is what happened:

So , now I should type "make lang" and then "make maps" ... Am I right?

I'm a bit afraid before the next step which is compiling maps... It will definately take a while because I've got Athlon 2200+ here... ;-) Please confirm if I am making all properly :-)                                         

[abrax]

Anyway, the game starts nicely, but i didn't check anything but the ability to execute ufo. It even tells me that it was compiled today! Wow, I can't describe how I feel now, it was my first time :-)

Compiling maps:
(this text was taken somewhere there between the other maps which has been already compiled)

I can see that there is an error : Could not load image pk3 (/usr/local/games/ufoai/ufoai_2.2/base/0pics.pk3) What does it mean?

I hope that it won't make ma compiling all maps once again :-)

Please write here, write as much as needed because this topic was created to help (other people green as me ) completely describe the process... After all is done, I'm going to rewrite this and place it as sticky step-by step guide of compiling this game.

[geever]

That Could not load image pk3 message is non-fatal afaik. It will use files in base/pics dir instead.

Finally something happened that stopped all the process... :

Can You please tell what does it mean?
How to fix this problem?
How to start the map compilation again from this point not from the beginning?

[abrax]

There is one more thing... The game starts nicely, everything is working fine, but it doesn't enter the battlefield... Again...

Is this due to the maps compiling process?

I've got another idea that the graphic card drivers are making problems with entering 3d graphic card mode... How is the UFO:AI constructed is it completely rendered with 3d acceleration or just the battlefield? I think that if there is something wrong with my graphics it may work fine till the 3d acceleration mode is needed... This would explain why I was having the same problem once before... (I use the graphic card driver suggested by the system, not the newest graphic card driver, TUX RACER runs smoothly, chromium, and other games as well, The graphic card is ATI RADEON 9200SE 64MB ram -> Yes i know that i could make a better choice but then I was meaning Windoze XP...

How do You think?

[Mattn]

just run make maps again - it will continue where it stopped before

the "not-entering-battlefield" might be related with not all maps compiled properly - yes.

[abrax]

Thank You,

I really don't know why the last error occured...  Just after getting home from work I've set my computer to make maps again and it nicely rendered the last map... So now it is still rendering...

[abrax]

Thank You once more,
I still have some questions but finally the game works fine as hell !!!!
I am able to play now :-)
