Linux / ufo ai window is flickering

« on: January 04, 2010, 01:31:04 pm »

Hey all,

After a long time I'm on Linux again and have a little spare play time. Since I always loved the x-com games I decided to give another shot at this game.

I have downloaded ufoai-2.2.x from SVN and have built it via

Code: [Select]

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make lang
$ make maps
$ cd base
$ ./archives.sh
$ cd ..
$ su
# make install

It is installed and runs, but the video is flickering. I imagine it might be related to a "poor" installation of video drivers. This box is running Slackware64-current and has ATi video. The video drivers were (amazingly!) installed without any kernel tweaking. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Linux / Re: ufoai-2.2.1 on stock Slackware 12.2, problems when compiling from svn source

First of all, thanks so much for the time

I did this:

Code: [Select]

$ cd base
$ ./archives.sh
$ cd ..
$ su
# make install
# make install still asks to unpack ufo-2.2.1-data.tar into /usr/local/share/ufoai

what's next?

cheers!

i started over again...

$ make clean OK
$ ./configure OK
$ make OK
$ make lang OK
$ make maps OK - this time it doesn't compile maps again 

but, then i get this:

Code: [Select]

gtl@predator:~/ufoai_2.2$ make pk3
make: *** No rule to make target `pk3'.  Stop.

Linux / ufoai-2.2.1 on stock Slackware 12.2, problems when compiling from svn source

« on: December 20, 2008, 05:49:34 pm »

Dear all,

I have downloaded the .tar.gz version of this game and came across the following problem when running the game:

Code: [Select]

gtl@predator:~/ufoai_2.2$ ufoai
./ufo: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-gnutls.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have tried to solve the missing library problem to no avail, then I found the SVN version and, after downloading, I started compiling.

The $ ./configure, $ make and $ make lang where fast, but $ make maps took an awful long time to finish (is this normal?).

When it was over, # make install returns the following message:

Code: [Select]

Please unpack file ufoai-2.2.1-data.tar into /usr/local/share/ufoai
Now where's this tar file?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!
