Still no head objects in latest dev PPC build?

<< < (3/3)

Mattn:
configure does not generate a makefile, the makefile already exists. configure generates config.h and makefile.local

check that git log is from today after

--- Code: ---git checkout -f
git clean -f -d
git pull --rebase
./configure
make -j 2
--- End code ---

Hi Matt,
that did it!  All my troopers now have heads properly placed in the credits and everywhere else!

Also, the save game methods now work correctly.   I saved my game to a slot and it created
the appropriate label and there were no corruption error messages on the console.
Loading the game, the label text was correct and the slot loaded correctly.

I seem to have a very fast, playable version of the game now!

I will compile this and bundle it up and upload it somewhere if anyone wants it or they
should possibly use your one.   My G5 has NVidia graphics, I do not know if this makes a difference?

I will now try to track the 2.4-dev build and keep it up to date, but I need advice about this. 
I do not like having to spend more time figuring git out than I do compiling and tweaking.
Perhaps we need some of this in the FAQ etc as I find the existing documentation a bit confusing.

BTW, I did not know this game used lua.   I was thinking of studying it as a side exercise and then realised
UFO used it.  Is there anything that needs lua work done that would be a good learning method?

For now, I am happy to prove the 2.4 dev build is working OK on PPC and I will try to find time
for a Solaris version, but I think I am having trouble with GLext and OpenGL there.

lua
we have an battlescape ai written in lua. it's not yet used in the game and will most likely be removed soon. you can activate it with the cvar g_ailua set to 1

solaris
we have a solaris port already - but no build files yet - see build/platforms - there is a solaris.mk missing. if you can contribute one that would be cool. which "solaris" are you using nowadays?

git
you always use the sequence i posted above - but that will revert your local changes (if you have made any)

--- Code: ---git stash
git pull --rebase
git stash pop

--- End code ---
The stash parts will keep your local changes. if you don't have any local changes, git pull --rebase is enough

Where I have got with Solaris so far is compiling all the library dependencies thus:


--- Code: ---libasprintf.so         libiconv.so      libSDL.so
libbz2.so              libidn.so        libsmpeg.so
libcharset.so          libintl.so       libssl.so
libcrypto.so           libjpeg.so       libstdc++.so
libcurl.so             libmenu.so       libtheora.so
libFLAC.so             libmikmod.so     libtheoradec.so
libFLAC++.so           libncurses.so    libtheoraenc.so
libform.so             libogg.so        libtiff.so
libfreetype.so         libpanel.so      libtiffxx.so
libgettextlib-0.18.so  libpng.so        libvorbis.so
libgettextlib.so       libpng15.so      libvorbisenc.so
libgettextpo.so        libreadline.so   libvorbisfile.so
libgettextsrc-0.18.so  libSDL_image.so  libxml2.so
libgettextsrc.so       libSDL_mixer.so  libz.so
libhistory.so          libSDL_ttf.so    preloadable_libiconv.so

--- End code ---

SOme of these already exist in Solaris in various forms, but my aim is to compile a relocatable package
with as few external dependencies as possible.

This is for SPARC Solaris 10, BTW.   I am hung up on some OpenGL libraries, that I think are missing
but I am unsure what to do yet.   So, I have all my support libs done, but no OpenGL support yet.

I might give lua a go - is the lua AI going away in UFO?   If so, I will look at something else.   

Thanks for the git advice - I am old school and just used to tarballs and rcs style stuff.   I do not have a lot of
time to work on these things and git is <ahem> not a career path I have intended to adopt.....  ...I only really
want to learn enough about it to maintain what I have downloaded....  ;)

Mattn:
we will get a new ai in the future - but it is possible that we script it with lua then, too - there is no decision made yet. it would be great if you update this article in our wiki http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Compile_for_Solaris about solaris compilation (if it is needed)
