Anyone try Warzone2100
 

Anyone ever try Warzone2100??

http://www.strategyplanet.com/warzon...overview.shtml

looks great but I cant seem to get it to compile. Keeps saying that I dont have OpenAL installed. I tried looking for a few rpms, and the few that I tried installing didnt help the situation.

Looks like a really good game though.

Did you install openal, or openal-dev? If you're compiling, you need the -dev version. (Or -devel.)

Thank you...you were right. I didnt have the devel package installed.
Now new problem though...doesnt compile and gives this error

cdaudio.c:10:17: error: mad.h: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [cdaudio.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tomfedora/.sourceinstall/build/warzone2100-0.2.1/lib/sound'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tomfedora/.sourceinstall/build/warzone2100-0.2.1/lib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tomfedora/.sourceinstall/build/warzone2100-0.2.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Now time for me to track this down. I really wanna play this game!

cdaudio.c:10:17: error: mad.h: No such file or directory

gets solved by installing libmad and libmad devel

Great...now when trying to run the game I get this:

ErrorBox: Couldn't open palette.bin
ErrorBox: Couldn't load palette data

Time to go hunting for a solution

woo
I got it to work.
What you have to do is, after you extract everything, and ./configure and then make. You dont do makeinstall, but what you have to do is copy or link the binary file from /src/ to /data/ in the directory that you extracted. Then you launch the game via the binary in the data folder.

Its a great looking game. Really happy that such a nice RTS is avaiable for linux.
I highly recommend it.

sounds like the 'make install' script is broken

I'll have to check out this game soon

Hi there I have done everything you wrote but now i get this error:
[root@iceland data]# ./warzone
Warning: Using colour depth of 16 instead of 24.
Error: SDL_SetVideoMode failed (Couldn't find matching GLX visual).

any help?

Do you have glx libs installed?
WHat video card do you have?

Yeah, rpms are AWFUL about that. I don't think they actually test them. Even Fedora had this problem when I used it. Ideally Every SRPM(or whatever) would be built from scratch on a clean system with only the base system and it's dependencies

try looking at the permissions for those files. set them to chmod a+rwx palette.bin and trying running it. Then start removing priveleges incrementally.

hehe, thanks captainpinko but the message I wrote following the one you replied to says I fixed the problem and got the game working :D I appreciate you trying to help though :)


SuuperFly....sounds like some sort of vid card issue or maybe like je_fro said, you may not have glx installed.
