Glest, Warzone... SDL dependencies?

mazka0 · Post by **mazka0** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 21:20

Hi!
I have installed Warzone 2100 and Glest with respective Loki Installers... no problem with instalation. However, when I try to run Warzone I recieve this:

Code: Select all

Error: Could not initialise SDL (SDL not built with cdrom support).

and this message with Glest:

Code: Select all

Couldn't initialize SDL: SDL not built with audio support

I use kubuntu 64 in an amd64 system

I think this is a dependencies problem with some SDL libraries... but I have installed it all! Any other package to install?

Please help me!
Thanks

Do you have you 32bit libs installed?

Warzone and Glest are 32bit only.

I have the next packages that I think are needed for run 32 bit apps in 64 bit system:

ia32-libs
ia32-libs-dev
ia32-libs-gtk
ia32-libs-more
lib32gcc1
lib32stdc++6
lib32stdc++6-0
linux32

And this packages relationed with SDL:
libsdl1.2debian
libsdl1.2debian-all
libsdl1.2-dev
libsdl-console libsdl-console-dev
libsdl-erlang
libsdl-gfx1.2 libsdl-gfx1.2-dev
libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev
libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-net1.2-dev
libsdl-ocaml libsdl-ocaml-dev
libsdl-sge
libsdl-sound1.2 libsdl-sound1.2-dev
libsdl-ttf1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0

I run both installers with

Code: Select all

$ linux32 sh installer.run

Installation seems correct... but I can't execute the game.

it's up to us

the library which comes with the installer is missing those features

2 solutions

1. compile your own 32bit libSDL
2. wait till we fixed this problem

sorry

http://liflg.org/files/libSDL-1.2.so.0
replace this one with the file in the lib subdir in the game install directory

let us know if it works

Yes, it works better, but there some weirdness (tested on latest Warzone's liflg installer) :
- the game start (no more "cdrom blabla" message"
- it shows this : http://multani.info/images/warzone-64.jpg
- in-game, it looks ok
- when exiting Warzone, the window turns white for a few seconds, then it kills my X session

Infos :
- Debian amd64 sid
- Latest Nvidia drivers

Edit: after doing some test, it appears that the "white thing" is due to my installation (same weird things in others games).

whats about the warning about the screen depth?

multani · Post by **multani** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 19:29

Sorry for late reply ...

i don't know for the screen depth

?: But it seemes I've got the same issue with OpenGl games ... (strange colors in Enemy Territory)

Hi,

finally, I solved my problem using stock Nvidia drivers (instead of Debian one), and I don't get those messy colors anymore in games like ET ... but still in Warzone ...

Code: Select all

jon@deb64:~$ warzone 
Warning: Using colour depth of 32 instead of 24.
NETinitAudioCapture
Now playing music/neos_symphonie_du_vide.ogg
seq_SetSequence sequences\CAM1\c001.rpl

Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
/usr/local/bin/warzone: line 61:  6064 Segmentation fault      ./$GAME_BINARY "$CMD_ARGS" "$@"
jon@deb64:~$

The menu screen is blank (like the screenshot above), but the game looks Ok. The pasted log above is a single campagn game. The game didn't crash X anymore when exiting. I still don't know for the colour deph

Tell me if you want more informations.

you can change the default depth in your xorg.conf or XFree.conf

X didn't want to start with a color depth of 32bits :/

I remember when I used my old Debian-32 bits installation, that I had a 24bits color depth already ...

kratz00 · Post by **kratz00** » Sun Sep 18, 2005 14:49

change it to 24 or try 16

multani · Post by **multani** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 18:26

It's already at 24. I will try 16bits next time.
