1st time Debian install failed

#1 If this can help you, when I tryed to compile Torque with Dev-C++'s gcc I noticed a similar error, I then looked at the build files and noticed gcc modded them, adding a \ (or /, I don't remember) before almost every line.
Maybe removing that and redoing the build without using make clean or using just make (without any parameters) should work.
I was almost at the point of getting it, but under Windows I got some "wrong architecture" errors. Maybe you could be better luck with Linux.

Bye, Thc.

#2 @Raven: Please could you give a little more details than "audio something or other"?

And a slash prefix on every line, of etiher sort, sounds like somethign that would break about a million things...

#3 Ok here's the console output. but first a story.

The first time i ran "make config.......&& make" last night it complained about not having mesa so i installed it along with openAL and SDL from debian unstable packages.

Remember I'm using legacy nvidia-glx drivers that were quite a challenge to configure. nvidia-glx depends on libglu(?) and one other library that mesa3g doesn't like. SO installing mesa last night took out my video drivers, which made booting when i got home from work "problematic"... I fixed my vid card by allowing it to remove mesa to reinstall nvidia-glx and 2 missing dependencies.

Surprisingly when I run make && make now it doesn't complain about messa. Wierd. SO here's complete current console output from make && make.

Thanks again for looking,
Raven

#4 OK.
1) If you have an nvidia card, just install the nvidia drivers from their website. They're closed source, but they work great. You don't need mesa in addition to them. And they'll include just about all the gl voodoo you need.
2) Try just searching the forums for those errors. Lots of people have have those problems, and they've been solved lots of times.

#5 And as an additional note it's a slight pain to install nvidia drivers on debian - last time I checked there were packages for red hat that even when I converted into a deb package didn't seem to work properly. However I know there's 3rd party debian developer (don't have the url on me) who updates nvidia driver packages for debian frequently.

Go google it out.

#6 Debian is just as easy to install the closed nvidia drivers on as anything else. Just download the .run file, and run it.
