READMElinux (V2.0) should be updated

[gorgonz]

Well, I'm not an expert, but together with other threads here I suppose this corrections could be a help to others.

Thats o-tone:

Code: [Select]

2.2 Building

To build and install the game use the following commands (in the top glest
directory).

cd mk/linux
./configure
jam

This should be the new text:

Code: [Select]

2.2 Building

To build and install the game use the following commands (in the top glest
directory).

cd mk/linux
for i in `find ./`; do dos2unix $i; done
chmod a+x *.sh
./autogen.sh
./configure
jam


Now I'm still working at other problems.

Less of importance, but anyway: Version inside the file README:
Glest source code v1.0.10 -> Glest source code v2.0

I try to compile glest on my system. Compilation was sucessful but when i try to run glest i got

> ./glest
Exception: Font not found.

:/ Somebody could help me? I wrote about this earlier when compile from cvs but now i use source and data packages and i get this same. I've made everything like is writen here http://www.glest.org/board/viewtopic.php?t=1112

when i try to compile in ubuntu breezy i get errors. After i type the autoconf i get the following output:

$ ./autogen.sh
aclocal...

And after, if i try to make a configure i get this:

To avoid those errors (and others) you have to do 2 things:
1) in configure.ac delete the 3 lines containing

Code: [Select]

AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG
AM_PATH_WXCONFIG([2.6.0], [WX_AVAILABLE="yes"], [WX_AVAILABLE="no"], [std,gl],  [--unicode=no])
AC_SUBST([WX_AVAILABLE])
2) in Jamfile delete the lines below #### Editor ####
A brief explanation. The libwx libraries will be used for glest map editor. Since it is not included in the current linux release, you can safely delete those parts of configuration files that checks the libraries and try to build the editor.
BTW, I have sent you the howto and the files needed for the ubuntu packages, have you received them ?

Thanks, everything compiled now.
Then i have put the data files and the binary(execuatable) a folder and when i try to launch i get:

glest_game$ ./glest
Exception: Couldn't set video mode 800x600 (32bpp 0 stencil 32 depth-buffer). SDL Error is: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

Well i have tried to change the resolution, that becasuse there is 800x600 and no 1024x768
Ideas? Of course my SDL are working well and correctly installed.

UPDATE:
I have fixed. For something strange reason the default zbuffer is at 32 (guys, the nvidia guys have 16 or 24 in the mayority of our cards...)

Now i get a new error:

./glest
Exception: Font not found.

font? which font?

[vicentecarro]

Finally works.
I have overwirte the glest.ini for the one that is in the linux folder.
Thanks.
