Linux / Strange messages when doing 'make lang'

« on: February 06, 2008, 06:42:11 pm »

When I type "make lang" after having followed all the directives given on the wiki, I get this :

Code: [Select]

The "/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found" are on STDERR, all the rest is on STDOUT.

My questions are : is the operation successful? If not, why?

EDIT: it seems that the answer to my first question is "no". I'd appreciate some insight about my second one.

Linux / Game freezes during missions

« on: January 30, 2008, 01:01:09 pm »

Hi. I tried to look for my problem in the bugtracker, and didn't find it. Ignoring if I searched properly, I ask here if anyone encountered the issue.

During missions, the game has a tendency to freeze completely. In fact, my whole computer is frozen, and I have no choice but hard-rebooting. This happens often, and is very annoying. I've tried to launch the game from command line redirecting to a file. I'm not quite sure this is related but after the crash I saw the file finished with several hundred lines saying "Too many particles (don't add burnFlame2) - exceeded 2048".
I'd like to know if there is a way to avoid this problem, to test if it is the real cause of the freeze.
I'm using version 2.2-0, installed from a deb package downloaded from getdeb, under Ubuntu Gutsy.

EDIT: I feel relevant to add that this is particularly frequent with crashed UFO missions, which makes more likely for the cause being the particles excess, due to the flames.
EDIT: Damn! Just realized I probably have posted in the wrong section.

EDIT: Removed the irrelevant reference to particles from the title.

« on: August 24, 2007, 04:25:29 pm »

Hello.
I followed the wiki's installation instructions for Debian-based distributions, the maps compiled ok apparently, but I can't find the executable anywhere. It isn't in trunk. How cn I find it ?
FYI I'm under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, up to date.
