Dedicated Server Build for Linux Error

#1 Use what is provided on the cvs repository , it works fine

see install procedure here eviwo.free.fr/torque/compile.html

#2 Philippe: I was hoping for something a bit more specific. Ah, well. I'll try a CVS download of Torque's HEAD to see if that compiles properly on my server.

Thanks.

-David

#3 Ln can not find the xft library, need to go an install the FreeType library for your distro (don't forget the deve libs :) )

BTW: This is not a TLK, TGE-L or GG issue ;) it is a OS configuration issue

#4 Well...I pulled the HEAD from CVS. I got a libsdl error. I don't know if that means the HEAD fixes the xft issue or if I somehow managed to get xft installed (I doubt that).

Regardless, it all brings up this question:

I'm doing a dedicated server build. No graphical output whatsoever. What's with all these very graphical dependencies?

Thanks.

-David

#5 1) SDL is required for threading which is a core feature of TGE, regardless of dedicated or non dedicated build
2) Xft is required for fonts; not sure why it is in the dedicated build. I'll have to look into that.

-Ron

#6 The Xft dependency seems to be from the "old" 1.4. The HEAD didn't bump into it.

Thanks.

-David

#7 David,

as explain by ron , you have missing library

But i give you a link to get the minimum configuration : eviwo.free.fr/torque/compile.html.
Hereafter an extract of the web page:


gcc (GCC) version gcc 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu3)
g++ version gcc 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu3)
make GNU Make 3.81beta4
NASM version 0.98.38 compiled on Jun 27 2005
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.9 (client/server)
libxft-dev 2.1.8.2
libsdl1.2-dev
Wine 0.9.10 ( if you want to use yacc and flex)

#8 For your information I have compiled torque and it is ok with the configuration listed above:

Current Configuration: this config is VALID
         OS: LINUX
   COMPILER: GCC4
      BUILD: RELEASE
    DIR.OBJ: out

#9 I should've been more specific in my last post: I did get the HEAD to build properly, once I had SDL installed. And the HEAD didn't require Xft for the dedicated server build, so that had been fixed, as well.

So, now I'm prepping to do a merge of my source, based on the 1.4 SDK (from the installer), and the CVS HEAD. Oh, the joys. At least I have WinMerge...

Thanks again.

-David

#10 I have been out of the loop regarding TGE-L 1.4.2 and other projects due to health issues, will get CVS updated as soon as possible.

#11 David,

on linux exists a tool like winmerge : Meld

meld.sourceforge.net

From my point of view this tool is better than winmerge

;)
