Same issue with me, lubuntu 32 bit 12.04. I get this output after I type the command "make install" collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [curl] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/puma/Desktop/bzflag-2.4.0/src/other/curl/src' make[4]: *** [all] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving di...

works well now. it was a compiling error, i was missing some libs I forgot to install. works great now, and it looks better then ever with my new crossfire cards.
I still don't see an icon, but I suppose I could make one and install a command.

I had that file installed all along, libcurl4-openssl-dev - through sypnatic. what else could be the problem. but would synaptic automatically give me the amd64 version? so to review, installed all of these from sypnactic libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev python-dev ...

i looked in that site jeff, and the sub directories I didnt see any file called "libcurl3-dev" there have not been as many players as there were before 2.4, there must be some issues with the upgrade for them too. Though Ill definitely try to get it work with my ubuntu 64, instead of using...

the libcurl was not available in sypnatic or official ubuntu 11.04 sites. I found it sourgeforge or some similar site - dont recall. but i've followed the installation instructions in many different ways and many times. maybe there is a bug with 64bit ubuntu. i just downloaded wine - and the 32 and ...

also, after installing libsdl-sound1.2-dev, not I cant play any mp3s - the built in sound card on my mobo longer works. lol.

forgot to mention, I also had installed c-ares before I rebuilt the whole thing. at first, I had installed 2.4 without those other required dev files( i assumed the computer would just find what it needs automatically or Ubuntu already had them) I could start the game but not see message of day or s...

I removed all of 2.0.16, including its configuration files - through synaptic Then installed libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libsdl1.2-dev libcurl3-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev (may have to add this yourself as well) python-dev swig all through sypnatic, except for libcurl3-dev. I found it online somewh...

I used Download bzflag-2.4.0.tar.bz2 (15.0 MB) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bzflag/files/. It was the the one at the top of the page, not organized within the tabs. - I didn't see any version for ubuntu 64 bit. So I used this. As for errors, I guess I would need to reinstall 2.4 and save the...

so how would I fix that on ubuntu 11.04 64 bit, not only can I not see the server, I cant see the bzflag short cut under the games section. I have to use the terminal to log in. But I cant visit any maps, the message board states the servers are using an incompatible version. Should I downgrade now?...

yes i did, the right device is selected automaticly when i plug it. I can see it in the settings.

the pad has the same malfunction on all the games i have.

after I upgraded to 7.10 ubuntu, the d-pad on my rumble pad was not programmable, so I could not move left, right, forward, back. the left joy stick also stopped being programmable. after successfully calibrating the pad, i was still unable to use the d pad/left joy stick. for those of you that use ...

why is the 2.10 not available for download using synaptic package manager (ubuntu 7.10)?
the latest version i can download in synaptic is 2.08

i have nvidia, if it helps to know

after installing the latest ubuntu, 7.10 i think, and a wide screen (1440-900) dvi when start bzflag from the terminal, this happens lance@lance-desktop:~$ bzflag Could not set Video Mode: Could not create GL context. Error creating window - Exiting lance@lance-desktop:~$ any ideas, on what to do? t...

Aslo, i am sick and tired of seing polls pass becuase two players voted yes, and one player voted no, when there are a total of 10+ registered players!. This automatic "no" system will make sure that, for a poll to pass, more than half of the registed players voted yes.

hmm. In this new way of voting, EVERYONE who is registered will vote no matter what. good idea

How about creating wings that allow you to carry one, or two other teamates! If the two tanks could some how interlock with the botton of the tank with wings, the tank with wings could take them to hard to reach places. And maybe adding two extra keys for the winged tank. One for dropping the tank o...
