[fixed] BUG REPORT, 3.3.6, gentoo-linux-32bit: cannot find glestkeys.ini

[HyperQuantum]

I've downloaded the sourcecode for 3.3.6, extracted it, ran configure in that same directory, and ran "jam glest.bin" (because the editor wouldn't compile, something wrong with wxWidgets, though it is installed).

But when I run the game, it won't start:

Code: [Select]

$ ./glest.bin

Setting the GLESTHOME variable doesn't fix the problem, but it changes the error message a bit:

I've searched the directory and subdirectories, and there is no file named glestkeys.ini.
There are two files with a similar name: glest.ini and glestuser.ini (the latter is empty).

Anything I'm doing wrong here?

The default ini files come with the binary archives. You may also get the ini files from svn for each version. We are currently on v3.3.7 and about to release 3.3.7.2 shortly (just an FYI).

I will however make sure that the update script which packages the source code will from now one come with the default ini files. For now I will add the ini files to the 3.3.6 folder on sourceforge shortly (called inifiles.tar.gz)

Thanks for your help.

I searched for the files of 3.3.7 and noticed that I had to download not only the source, but also two other archive files for the game data. So I downloaded those (3.3.7.2), compiled, and the executable runs.

Now I'm waiting for my brother to update his version (he has 3.3.7.0 on Windows) so we can play a LAN game together
