I DID!!!!!

but you really should stop focusing on creating a universal binary....if you want to host RPM or Debian files for different distributions, then that would be your better bet. Hence why 99.9% of linux games don't have universal executables

Posted: **Tue Nov 22, 2005 8:13 am**

The installation instructions are for the source code compile. If you get into another compile path than the opengl one, you might e.g. not have called ./configure correctly.

I am not hosting a universal binary. It has been created on openSuse 10, and there is no warranty that it will be executable on any other i86-32 Linux distro, or even another i86-32 openSuse 10.

It is also not 100% done yet.

Some changes:

Descent data is now expected in /usr/local/share/d2x-xl, unless specified otherwise with $DESCENT2
Ini file is $(HOME)/.d2x-xl
Executable may reside in /usr/local/bin

I am pretty much done with the port now; everything is in, finished UDP/IP support today.

So as far as I and the Linux version of D2X-XL are concerned: It is done.

Kirby,

have you called ./configure with the argument --enable-release=yes?

If yes, do you have the latest gcc compiler (v4.02)?

Anyway,

open src/arch/linux/ipx_udp.c in a text editor and replace the functions dumpraddr() and dumpaddr() with the following code:

/* Dump raw form of IP address/port by fancy output to user
*/
static void dumpraddr(unsigned char *a)
{
#ifndef RELEASE
short port;
msg("[%u.%u.%u.%u]",a[0],a[1],a[2],a[3]);
port=(signed short)ntohs(*(unsigned short *)(a+4));
if (port) msg(":%+d",port);
#endif
}

/* Like //dumpraddr() but for structure "sockaddr_in"
*/

static void dumpaddr(struct sockaddr_in *sinP)
{
#ifndef RELEASE
unsigned short ports;

memcpy(qhbuf+0,&sinP->sin_addr,4);
ports=htons(((short)ntohs(sinP->sin_port))-UDP_BASEPORT);
memcpy(qhbuf+4,&ports,2);
//dumpraddr(qhbuf);
#endif
}

K...that fixed it...

now I'm back to everyone's favorite problem: sdlgl.c

Posted: **Tue Nov 22, 2005 5:18 pm**

I don't understand that - I just don't have that problem.

Did you install SDL 1.2.8-8 and modify AM_PATH_SDL in configure.ac?

For some reason, SDL_IMAGE is defined in your configuration, and it shouldn't be. You can manually undefine it by editing src/conf.h - that should solve your problem.

I have changed configure.ac so that SDL_IMAGE won't get defined any more.

Posted: **Tue Nov 22, 2005 5:45 pm**

something is wrong with permissions in the unified sources:

pinkybox d2x-xl-src # ./configure
bash: ./configure: Permission denied
pinkybox d2x-xl-src #

chmod 777 configure to open up the permission causes this on run:

pinkybox d2x-xl-src # chmod 777 configure
pinkybox d2x-xl-src # ./configure
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
pinkybox d2x-xl-src #

btw...instead of playing tag every other hour, why don't we agree on a IRC server to chat in?? :3

edit>>>> sweht...I finally got past that sdlgl.c error....as Diedel suggested, it was SDL_IMAGE....so remove these lines from configure.ac and ./autogen:

# Check for SDL_image
AC_CHECK_LIB(SDL_image, IMG_ReadXPMFromArray,
LIBS="-lSDL_image $LIBS"
AC_DEFINE(SDL_IMAGE,,[Define if you have the SDL_image library]))

edit #2>>> something interesting to note....when a .d2x-xl folder is present, ./d2x-gl startup hangs w/o any quick window popup....however, when .d2x-xl is not present, ./d2x-gl window pops open and closes immediately, then the program terminates...already having a valid d2x.ini files makes no difference at all

Posted: **Tue Nov 22, 2005 6:43 pm**

The descent data needs to reside in /usr/local/share/dxl-xl.

Diedel wrote:The descent data needs to reside in /usr/local/share/dxl-xl.

it always was in there....

edit>> I'm looking in the makefile for any type of clue...and I came up with this:

sharepath = /usr/local/share/games/d2x-xl

doesn't this mean that the data directory should be /usr/local/share/games/d2x-xl instead of /usr/local/share/d2x-xl???

either way...still nothing

maybe it has something to do with d2x.ini being invalid....could you post your working d2x.ini file

Posted: **Wed Nov 23, 2005 3:47 am**

Maybe I need to look into this share path thing once more ...

D2X-XL 1.5.24 doesn't read d2x.ini, it reads $(HOME)/.d2x-xl as ini file.

Edit: There might be problems with the autogen.sh and configure.ac from my unified source archive. I had zipped it on my Windows machine, and now line breaks are cr/lf, where they are only lf on Linux. Don't yet know how to avoid this. The files also aren't set to executable.

I need a good zip program on Linux. What I've found so far is crap. I need something that allows to only update files that are already in the zip file and where the zipped file is older.

what's wrong with 'zip -f' and 'zip -u'???

btw...renaming d2x.ini and putting it into $HOME$ = no go

Posted: **Wed Nov 23, 2005 9:53 am**

Kirby,

These options get rejected on my Linux.

Isn't it funny that the oh-so-wonderful Linux cannot deal with DOS style cr/lf linebreaks, while Windows software has no problems with lf only linebreaks?

Btw, I am never quite sure what you've done and what not when you post something. You have a nasty habit of expressing yourself very unprecise. You have renamed d2x.ini to what exactly? $HOMEÂ§/.d2x-xl, or what?

sorry....it's not helping I'm the only one who is caring to post feedback right now...

but yeah....I renamed d2x.ini to .d2x-xl and put it in my home directory.

just to check if it's not only my machine that is failing with d2x-xl, I decided to run d2x-xl on one of my college's linux computers (Red Hat Enterprise, I believe).....and of course, same problem shows (with the window poping up rapidly and closing).

I'm not entirely sure if you programmed d2x-gl to print an error message out if it can't find its config file or game data folder (something like having it print out "d2x config file not found" or "d2x game data not avaliable")....or if it's programmed right now to terminate immediately if one of those 2 isn't avaliable.

also another interesting thing to note: when d2x-gl is executed (failed or not), a empty .d2 folder is created in $HOME$

Posted: **Wed Nov 23, 2005 1:33 pm**

You want help, right? You being the only one posting feedback here doesn't help me a bit if I do not understand you.

Your problem hints to d2x-xl not finding its data. It not finding the config file is none of a problem - it will simply use default settings then.

You can edit src/main/inferno.c and replace '//printf (fErr' with 'printf (fErr' and run './configure --enable-debug=yes'. d2x-xl will then print some messages to $HOME/d2x.log. You can look into that file or post it here; maybe I can see something from it.

On my machine, I can start it from where I want and it will run (I have the data in /usr/local/share/d2x-xl).

Posted: **Wed Nov 23, 2005 7:36 pm**

I got it working ^^ but not in the way I was hoping to:

1) building the releases did not create a working executable for me....only building using --enable-debug=yes did...but building the debug version produced some errors I was able to get around (by commenting out the line):

2) Linux is a picky ★■◆● when it comes to case sensetive filenames....all my data filenames were in uppercase, so I found a little script that converted everything to lowercase....sure enough, that probably contributed to my sucess.

You can download http://www.descent2.de/resources/d2x-xl-src.zip. It contains the latest source codes minus the make files, config files etc. for unix, so you should be able to safely extract them to your D2X-XL source folder w/o ruining the make files (because under windows, somehow the lf linebreaks get replaced with cr/lf, which Linux doesn't like).

Problem is that the Linux and Windows sources still aren't completely sync'd, and I don't have access to a Linux machine over the weekend (yet). But the cure is easy. Will post here again in a minute.

Edit:

typedef struct FILEFINDSTRUCT {
char name [256];
char szDir [256];
char type;
DIR *dirP;
regex_t filter;
} FILEFINDSTRUCT;

Add the bold line to the FILEFINDSTRUCT declaration in the non-WIN32 part of include/filefind.h.

what if I told you I have connections with a very generous webmaster and a owner of a webhosting company who will probably give you a huge discount on space???

The key word is "please", I guess, but then I depend on the mercy of your generous webmaster and will never know how long that web space is available to me.

I'd have to pay 25 EUR/month for an account with my current ISP that would give me everything I need. I might do that if there's a lot of stuff going on with D2X-XL and DLE-XP in the future.

For the time being, I will however look and see whether there is actually a need for this (and all the extra work I'd have to put in).

But honestly, thanks for the offer.

As far as version systems go, I've set up a Subversion repository for the unified W32, Linux, and my OS X updates. I have anonymous read access turned on for the svn protocol and can pretty quickly get the http-webdav access setup.

The repository has the latest version as of right now ( >1.5.27.... I've tentatively called the OS X build 1.5.28, but I think that Diedel should decide the actual version numbers).

The repository is at: svn://myxo.css.msu.edu/d2x-xl/trunk

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2005 9:50 am**

Hmm, just in case anyone has trouble with the svn:// protocol, I've set up the WebDAV component as well. Its on a non-standard http port to avoid clashing with the local web server.
