[SOLVED]Cannot compile warzone 2100 on slackware 13

[xovan]

Hello, I'm trying to install warzone 2100 2.2.4 on my computer and its giving me the following troubling messages when I run make. I have all the dependencies including openal installed and the OPENAL_CFLAGS and OPENAL_LIBS environment variables set properly. Is there a config file I forgot to adjust or is there a bug? If it makes any difference I recently upgraded to the latest libtool 2.2.6 http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ to compile something else.

Code: Select all

/home/xovan/Downloads/warzone2100-2.2.4/lib/sequence/sequence.c:228: undefined reference to `alGenSources'                                                                  
/home/xovan/Downloads/warzone2100-2.2.4/lib/sequence/sequence.c:232: undefined reference to `alGenBuffers'                                                                  
/home/xovan/Downloads/warzone2100-2.2.4/lib/sequence/sequence.c:234: undefined reference to `alGenBuffers'

and it keeps talking about undefined references for a lenghty time and then ends with this

Code: Select all

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Is there a config file I forgot to adjust

The compiler is not seeing your openal libs. Did you run configure?

Note that all your libs will need to be 64 or 32 bit depending on how you are compiling.

Yeah.

Note that all your libs will need to be 64 or 32 bit depending on how you are compiling.

I did a

export ARCH="x86_64"

to guarantee that it is properly compiling the binaries and stuff for 64 bit but openal still installed to /usr/local/lib/ instead of /usr/local/lib64/ do you think I need to recompile openal with some custom options?

SOLVED!

Here's the problem, openal needs to be explicitly compiled for x86_64 it doesn't automagically detect your ARCH so by modifying the openal Slackbuild to make the ARCH set to x86_64 and adjusting my OPENAL_CFLAGS and OPENAL_LIBS to reflect the new installation of openal I got warzone 2100 to play.

I really should've payed more attention to the Slackware way of manually doing things instead of being so lazy or I wouldn't have been in this mess to begin with.
