Compiling in FreeBSD

#1 Ummm...I don't know how you downloaded the source...but it looks like you have extra blanks in your makefiles. Either try redownloading them, or clean up the files yourself.

#2 Might wanna make sure the files haven't been windowized by running them thru the dos2unix command. Just a thought.

#3 That looks to me like the Makefiles dont like BSD make and in which case you need gmake.

#4 More adventures in Unixland! Tom B, using gmake got me a little farther than I had gotten before.

gmake -f mk/configure.mk

worked (once I added the arguments it needed), but I'm still getting errors.

#5 Odd. I didn't know 'dedicated' was a make script parameter, I thought you were suppose to configure which one to compile by setting up the make script. :P

#6 Dedicated Server Build

You may want to do a dedicated server only build. This build does not include any of the client code and therefore has fewer dependencies. The dedicated server is not required, however, since the client can also be run with the -dedicated command. To build the dedicated server:

make clean
make dedicated

Taken directly from the SDK. So unless I'm not understanding something, dedicated is a script parameter. Look in the Makefile.


dedicated:
@make -s -C lib
@make -s -C engine dedicated

#7 Jon,

You just kinda answered your own question ... search thru the makefiles etc for where it calls another instance of make and change it to gmake ;-)

You could also rename your current make to something like bsdmake and link make to gmake. There's a few things that might not compile if you do this (e.g. kernel may be a problem, but im not 100% sure) but most things should do.

#8 Wow, good call. I didn't even blink when I typed that! Crossing my fingers!

#10 Thats compile problems with libjpeg. Check you have run configure correctly. You may need to do some more hacking to get it to compile, but libjpeg (at least the official dist. of it) compiles/runs fine on BSD.

#11 Did you get any further?

#12 6-12 months ago, the last time I tried it, TGE compiled fine on FreeBSD with zero modifications using the OpenBSD configuration target.

I haven't tried in a while, it's possible that it's been broken in the meantime.

#13 Looks like the source code was copied from a windows box?

#14 I guess I might give it a go and see what happens.. I use FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE, not the adventureous type.. ;-)

#15 @Jeremy : What version did you compile that had no problems?

#16 Was HEAD sometime between 1.1 and 1.2

As I'm settling into my new home, my servers will get unpacked again. I'll run another compile test at that point.

#17 Looking for any help on this with FreeBSD 6.x. Was there ever a resolution to this issue? I am getting the same sort of errors.

Trial an error has gotten me somewhat closer with gmake instead of make.. but, still getting directory creation errors now as well.

#18 Hi garth i'am using freebsd 6.2 as a dedicated server.

packages:
=======
shell/bash
devel/gmake
devel/nasm
devel/sdl-1.2.x
audio/openal
audio/libvorbis
multimedia/libtheora

modify:
=======
check bash in lib/xiph/linux/checklinks.sh

ln -s /usr/local/include/ft2build.h  /usr/include/ft2build.h
ln -s /usr/local/include/SDL/ /usr/include/SDL
ln -s /usr/local/include/iconv.h /usr/include/iconv.h

using the following conf.GCC3.4.FreeBSD.mk :

include ../mk/conf.UNIX.mk

# override defaults

CFLAGS.GENERAL    = -DUSE_FILE_REDIRECT -I/usr/X11R6/include/ -march=i586 \

# GLU must be statically linked, otherwise torque will crash.
LINK.LIBS.GENERAL = -Wl,-static -Wl,-lGLU -Wl,-dy -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lSDL -pthread # -lefence

LINK.LIBS.RELEASE =  -logg -lvorbis -ltheora -lpthread -lSDL -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L /usr/local/lib

#19 Awesome! thank you - I will give this a try later tomorrow (after work schedules are complete) - we finally loaded it on Win2003 and Ubuntu systems as a temporary solution - but the intended server _is_ FreeBSD.

#20 Thomas; ew :-)

Instead of symlinking stuff from /usr/local/include into /usr/include, you could just add -I/usr/local/include to CFLAGS.GENERAL. Same effect with less filesystem crud
