Can't load savegame in ubuntu gutsy

[DevUrandom]

I forget to ask what version of WZ people are running.

They use some unsupported and heavily outdated svn snapshot which apparently comes with Ubuntu, it seems...

They use some unsupported and heavily outdated svn snapshot which apparently comes with Ubuntu, it seems...

It is not as heavily outdated as it may seem though.... As this snapshot is from before the merge of Berlios & Gna history, see: https://mail.gna.org/public/warzone-dev ... 00013.html

So r1436 really is r1794 (which is still old, though not as old as r1436...)

PS This package really comes from Debian, Ubuntu just copied it over into their repositories. The Debian package is maintained by Linas Žvirblis.

Does that mean he isn't updating WZ anymore?  Or do they just take a long time to get a newer version into the repositories?

AFAIk it is in this case the latter.

We had the Debian package maintainer for Warzone on IRC a week or so ago, so he is around.

Note, you might get some errors with either autogen.sh or configure.  Just means you have to download the headers & libs of all the libraries that this project uses.  Things like physfs, quesoGLC, and other ones.
...

I was confused by the physfs.h error, but got that resolved.  Now my problem is with quesoGLC...

For anyone else who is interested, install these via synaptic (or aptitude or apt-get) before you start Buginator's instructions:
bison
flex
libphysfs-dev
libsdl-netx.y-dev (where x.y is some number, probably 1.2)

[juicymixx]

Then once that is done, just follow what I wrote above, and it should be simple enough to do.

okay, this is going OT, but I can't seem to get warzone2100 to start after following the directions you posted.  I did get QuesoGLC installed, and warzone2100 made it through the ./configure, make, and sudo make install with no errors (finally).  Now when I run warzone2100 I get:
$ warzone2100
warzone2100: error while loading shared libraries: libGLC.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

running it from gdb I get:

I forgot to mention the libs.  I think you also need libpopt (http://directory.fsf.org/project/popt/)

Anyway, your issue is that it didn't install QuesoGLC.  [error while loading shared libraries: libGLC.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
Try getting the source, then once that is compiled, do a make install on that one (maybe sudo make install), and hopefully it will work.
If not, post again.

libphysfs-dev
libsdl-netx.y-dev (where x.y is some number, probably 1.2)

Actually you need to install all build dependencies mentioned in "debian/control". To do that automatically use this:

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install $(grep ^Build-Depends debian/control | sed s/^Build-Depends[^:]*:\ //g | sed s/,\ /\ /g | sed s/\ \([^\)]*\)//g)

It'll grab the build dependencies list from debian/control and pass it to aptitude for installation.

(gdb) run --window --debug all 2>err.txt

You could try this instead:

Code: Select all

run --window --debug all --debugfile err.txt

okay, thanks to Giel and Buginator for getting me up and running!  Oddly the error I was experiencing went away by itself.  I just realized that someone else posted almost the exact same error here:
index.php?topic=1152.msg10272

I checked, and I don't have an /etc/ld.conf ..?  (I do have an /etc/ld.so.conf )

However, everything is working now.  Saved games load and run as expected, and sounds are all there.  The only issue I'm having is an odd font problem during the game:
error  : glcFontFace(GLC_Font_Bold (2), "Bold") failed
which doesn't stop the program from running, but just makes the gaming experience a little less pretty.

Thanks again!

[Giel]

error  : glcFontFace(GLC_Font_Bold (2), "Bold") failed

All that means is that the bold font face cannot be found (and thus not be used).

Which, for some reason, happens everywhere everytime, so we might want to have a look at that.

Well, for some reason it never happens to me, whatever system I try to run warzone on (which is just three...).

It happened to me also but only with the daily snapshot. With svn didn;t

I am getting this same error when trying to launch... gdb gives me this same error as well with the 0177 exit code.

I tried the restart "fix" but still getting this same error.  Do I maybe have to create a link to libGLC somewhere?

Anyone else seeing this or have any suggestions?  Thanks
