Unable to compile BFW anymore

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I updated my source code from CVS saturday evening, and I'm unable to compile it anymore. I did a "make clean", then "configure --enable-tools --enable-debug", but I've this error:

[gui@localhost wesnoth]$ make

Regarding the make_translation tool, I have this error:


[gui@localhost tools]$ make make_translation

then mv -f ".deps/make_translation.Tpo" ".deps/make_translation.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/make_translation.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

Any help would be appreciate (to be able to run configure, I also installed the last version of autoconf-2.59)

Thanks.

Don't use --enable-tools and see if you can compile just the game.

[Guillaume]

I tried without --enable-tools, but I have the same error (I use gcc 2.96)

[Dave]

The error you reported should now be fixed now. (Although there may be more. Those kind of conversions work fine on my compiler.)

Hi Dave,

Indeed, the compilation problem is now solved (even for make_translation tool), but now I have this error when I try to launch the game:

[gui@localhost src]$ ./wesnoth
Initialized true type fonts
BEGIN: reading file
END: reading file (took 1ms)

END: reading file (took 0ms)

BEGIN: config::write

Any idea?

You did not run 'make install' (by default it installs under /usr/local... I usually change it to install under /opt/wesnoth-VERSION...)

You can not run Wesnoth from src/ unless you --prefix it there (meaning it will install the game there when you run 'make install').

You might also want to check './configure --help'

[Guillaume]

I tried to run make install, with a prefix specified, but after having copied some files, it stop with an error. I don't have it here, but I will retry.

[miyo]

Steps:

./configure --prefix=PATH
make
make install

If you are not running 'make install' as root you might want to add --disable-icons to configure (otherwise it tries to add icons and menu entries for GNOME and KDE, which will fail as normal user).

[Guillaume]

Thanks, now I remember, it's axectly the error I had

[ziberpunk]

You can run wesnoth even without installing it if you pass the data directory as a comand line option, so the commands would be:

Code: Select all

./configure
make
cd src
./wesnoth ../

I'll change default behaviour of icons too so that there's no need of becoming root to install wesnoth.

Just updated Wesnoth from CVS. When I try to 'make clean' or make', make returns the error
'Makefile:1: *** missing separator. Stop.' once it enters the src/ dir. Anyone else gets this message? I've never had it before when compiling Wesnoth.

rm Makefile then update your CVS checkout and try again. Ziberpunk will most likely sooner or later tell you to run ./autogen.sh

After I deleted all configuration and make files, updated from CVS, ran autogen.sh and then configure, it compiled. That is, after I merged some changes by hand. CVS seems pretty dumb when it comes to merging. Is there an option for downloading the whole file instead of messing around with the source when CVS can't handle the merge? This would take much less time (for me at least). I looked around (man CVS, cvshome.org), but didn't find anything helpful. Anybody knows?

[miyo]

man cvs and search for -C or overwrite

- Miyo

[ziberpunk]

CVS seems to handle badly merges to configure and Makefiles, so maybe they should be added to the respository as binnary files. I'll look into it.
