automake- 1.9 & compile issues.....

November 21, 2005

hiya... downloaded your engine and thought i'd give 'er a whirl. problem that i'm having is that it seems to want to use automake 1.8 ... i use 1.9... i found some linked files that refer to " usr/share/automake-1.8' in the admin file... i changed the links for 1.9 ... but it still isn't compiling. i'm guessing (i've had something like this happen once before...) that somewhere in the program it has 'automake-1.8' actaully written in there somewhere. i'm not a programmerbut i was wondering if you did the old * thing if you could make gem more agreeable with various automake versions (in otherwords...)

" usr/share/automake* "

instead of....

"usr/share/automake-1.8"

(for the stuff inside the program... i understand that this may not work for links...)

..would this work? does the different versions of automake matter?

well... just a suggestion. thought i'd throw the idea out here.

anyway- thanks for the program! hope to get it working soon (it could just be me... lol. but i found a couple of 1.8 files so i'm guess that's it...)

best wishes & happy programming (lol)

Actually it should work with automake 1.9, i use 1.9 myself.

It will use automake if it's in your PATH. e.g. what you get by running "which automake" ?

In worst case, you can use your own automake by running autogen.sh as

export AUTOMAKE=/usr/local/bin/automake
./autogen.sh

hiya...

thanks for the reply. like i said it could be me... lol. (it probably is....) i should clarify. . basically i tried this program out before and couldn't get it to work on my box (got an error about automake...) the last time i got that error (with a different program) i found out that they had written in an older version of automake and i finally got it to compile by editing everything... never got around to trying to get gem to run... just recently tried a newer version (cvs...) got same error... found the links for 1.8 in admin and thought ahh!!! ...but i've had a chance to look at it a bit more and am not finding anymore references to 1.8... so my bad...lol....

the errors i'm getting (from cofig.log) are........

..this second one keeps popping up in various forms... and i don't understand what it means...lol. i'm running slackware 10.2 (current) linux 2.6.13, pentium3 1gig, 256 ram. (probably more than you need to know but...lol)

anywho.. thanks for the help & for the reply

Those 'errors' are not real errors. They are part of the compiling environment detection.

you should do this:

autogen.sh

configure

make

make install

configure might get parameters like --prefix=$HOME/gemrb

to get gemrb installed in your home dir. (if i recall correctly).

If you cannot manage to compile gemrb, there will be a binary installer available soon.

hiya! & happy belated thanksgiving...lol.

well... i did everything on the list ...except 'autogen.sh' (usually i just.. config.. make.. make install....) never did an 'autogen' on anything before (and they usually run...) anyway- i did it this time with autogen and it built! the only problem i'm getting now is when i try to run it i get. the following errors....

[KEYImporter]: Searching for gemrb.INI...[ERROR]

[ERROR]

Cannot Load INI

Termination in Progress...

[KEYImporter]: Searching for defsound.2DA...[ERROR]

Press enter to continue...

i've done slocate on the files & know where they're at... but can't figure out how to get gem to reda them (i'm trying to play planescape BTW)

i've found the 2 files and try sticking them everywhere ... and they aren't reading.

any ideas? hope i'm not being a pest or anything. thanks for your time.....

Avenger · November 28, 2005

you have to configure

gametype=bg2

(or similar) in gemrb.cfg

November 28, 2005

# pst Planescape Torment #

# (More will come) #
