Installation error
« on: August 05, 2010, 10:57:20 pm »
When I try to install on ubuntu 10.04 it shows this error:

make[1]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
make[1]: *** [base/0pics.pk3] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jacob/Desktop/UFOAI'
make: *** [pk3] Error 2

Whats causing it?

Im compiling in terminal.

Its the latest development version.

Hmmm....  I just set up Ubuntu on one of my computers and checked out an SVN copy of this project.

I'll see if I can reproduce this issue.

Are you running 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu?

Yup, I'm getting the same error on 32-bit Ubuntu.

If you just want to play or test the game, try:

1 - ./configure
2 - make
3 - make lang
4 - make maps       // takes time!

IIRC "make install" is for building a package to pass around, which is broken at the moment in the trunk.

make install installs the game to the default directory (somewhere /usr/local/games(?)/ufoai). Not needed, you can run it from the checkout: ./ufo. Or better start it in debugger: gdb ./ufo (see wiki article about debugging).
