Debian/Ubuntu packages for i386/amd64

[Mattn]

I've uploaded i386 and amd64 debian squeeze packages (should also work on ubuntu) to the snapshots dir

Feedback is needed on these packages. Are they working at all on your system? If not, please attach your ufoconsole.log (~/.ufoai/2.4-dev/base) here. We would like to release deb packages with the 2.4 version.

any updates?

[shag]

Works mostly fine on my oneiric amd64 laptop w. intel graphics.

1) I had to force install with dpkg --force-depends though, and symlink /usr/lib/libbfd-2.20.1-system.20100303.so to /usr/lib/libbfd-2.21.53-system.20110810.so
2) In ~30 hours of playing I have seen 1 crash in the earth view, and 1 crash in the tactical mode

I am now building ubuntu oneiric packages from recent git. Will post links here when I confirm working game client.

AMD64 oneiric packages of 2.4-dev are here :

http://www.outrightsolutions.nl/~sander/ubuntu/ufoai/

Built from git from 2012-01-17

I had to make one adjustment to my ~/.ufoai/.../config.cfg, which was created by the existing debian 2.4-dev deb. I had to set ui_hunksize to 4 (from 2). I don't know if these new packages create the right default if config.cfg does not exist, haven't tested that yet..

Have fun!

Hey shag

Welcome to the forums !

Cool, that you are using the "Oneiric Oncelot" already 

Edit: I mixed up "Oneiric Oncelot" and "Precise Pangolin"

[MCR]

btw, ui_hunksize has already been removed and changed to dynamic memory allocation AFAIK, so this should not be needed anymore:

Hi!

Strange.. after installing the deb and running the game it exited with an error about ui_hunksize being too small.. maybe if the var is defined it still uses it and does checks on it..

[MCR]

Remove the ui_hunksize definition from the config.cfg file in .ufoai/base.
Also remove keys.cfg so it will be rewritten by the game, because there have been changes to this file as well...

The game does not do that automatically so probably there are remains left from your previous installation there...

[wizardelo]

i had same problem, so i moved .ufoai folder somewhere else and it created new keys and config files and worked no problem.

on topic: i tried to make deb from latest git and i got error missing ufo manual.pdf
file i got is "ufo-manual_EN.tex"

Code: [Select]


cp: cannot stat `./src/docs/tex/ufo-manual_EN.pdf': No such file or directory
dh_install: cp -a ./src/docs/tex/ufo-manual_EN.pdf debian/ufoai//usr/share/doc/ufoai-data// returned exit code 1

on topic: i tried to make deb from latest git and i got error missing ufo manual.pdf
file i got is "ufo-manual_EN.tex"

Yeah I have seen that too. I went into src/docs/tex and ran pdflatex manually. That worked without problems, and also rebuilding the deb after that went through without problems..

so there's still a small glitch in either
a) the clean (as in that it used the pdf from manual pdflatex run)
b) the build (somehow not building the pdf, or getting into an error running pdflatex, possibly due to sanitized PATH by debuild)

[shag]

Ah found it. Preparing a patch now. I will submit to sourceforge as soon as I check the build completes successfully
