Best way to make it build like most other unices is to find these few lines in configure.ac (excerpt from 2.0.10, it's slightly different in trunk): case $host_os in linux*|kfreebsd*|freebsd*|netbsd*|dragonfly*) linux=true;; *) linux=false;; esac and add aix to the first case: case $host_os in linux...

Sounds like your libcurl is either very old or not multithreaded. What is the output of "curl-config --version"?

Non-ascii input was broken on non-windows platforms. Should be fixed now. Keybinding to non-ascii keys doesn't work, and lots of stuff still needs to be tested.

GDI Generic means that you don't have an OpenGL ICD installed, so it's falling back to Microsoft's software renderer. You need to install correct drivers.

To elaborate a bit: BZWB needs more than just a bit of interface work. I'd estimate it's maybe 2/3 done. Still a fairly remarkable achievement given the time involved and complexity of the project. BZRobots will be shipped with 3.0, expect to see more about it then. BZWGen is in SVN and will probabl...

The best bet is to look at the existing sounds and see how they're done (though there are a few that aren't really right). Any more details on the "few that aren't really right"? I guess it mostly makes sense to use stereo only for the sounds that are primarily played without any position...

A modified version of BZAdmin may be configured to request a "normal set" of messages instead of a "bzadmin set." We just clamp it by default in 3.0 to save server bandwidth. That said, logging and recording are both far better done on the server end. And cheat detection needs to...

BZFlag uses custom 3d positioning, doppler effect and mixing code. Almost all of our sounds are mono only; asymmetric stereo sounds frequently do not sound the way you intended once they're positioned and mixed. The best bet is to look at the existing sounds and see how they're done (though there ar...

The Dev-C++ project exists and is technically supported in 2.0.10. If you have everything set up correctly, it should work. But, you're not likely to get too much help, because none of the active developers have it set up.

Look at your traceroute a bit more carefully, TS. Grace is very much right about Australian lag. PAIX (Palo Alto, CA) to SYD (Sydney, NSW) is close to 160ms constant lag. Australia is not a small place itself (Sydney to Perth is 4000km or so), so there's no reason another hundred ms or so couldn't b...

2.0.10 helps out the XFire client so future BZFlag upgrades won't break XFire's BZFlag support.

Trunk has additional stats and server info optionally relayed to your XFire friends (like many other games do).

It shouldn't be building that at all, it's only supposed to be compiled without HAVE_SDL defined. When we have SDL, we use SDL to load wave files without using our own code. Try running configure again.

You may specify an alternate directory to load data from with the -directory command-line option. Anything it doesn't find there it will load from the installed data. It is persistent once set (written to the config file), so you don't need to specify it every time. And yes, we would like some form ...

It looks like it's not configured correctly. Macs should not be using GLX calls, they should be using Apple's GL Framework. Try re-running configure and/or editing config.h as applicable.

ld is the linker, not the compiler. It finds the headers fine, but can't find the symbols in the library. Make sure you did a "make install" when building libcurl (or otherwise copied the .lib file to the appropriate place).

We typically overuse vectors. Look at a bunch of instances of vectors and see if one makes sense to switch to a different container.
