Issues Installing 2.4.0 on Ubuntu 10.04

[cepris]

Hi,
I have Ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to install BZFlag 2.4.0. I am following instructions that Macskeeball gave me earlier: http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f ... 77#p157799.

Once I get up to the ./configure step, I get the following result in my Terminal (once it has finished it's business):

Code: Select all

BZFlag-2.4.0.20110710 configured with the following:

             Prefix: /usr/local
           Binaries: /usr/local/bin
            Plugins: /usr/local/lib/bzflag
       Manual pages: /usr/local/share/man

CC       = gcc
CXX      = g++
CFLAGS   = -g -O2
CXXFLAGS = -g -O2
CPPFLAGS = 
LDFLAGS  =  
LIBS     = -lm  -lpthread

Build ares ........: yes
Build curl ........: yes
Build glew ........: no (clients disabled)
Build regex .......: no (using system)
Build zlib ........: yes

BZFlag client .....: no bzflag client binary! (need OpenGL)
BZFlag server .....: yes (with plugins)
BZAdmin client ....: yes

Can you post your config.log file? You may have to rename/compress the file to get it up here. May also want to glance over the file and make sure nothing "confidential" is in there. (Can't recall all that goes in there)

Just from a cursory glance of your .configure output, it seems you're having an issue compiling the player client? That's the only thing I'm seeing not being made, and it appears to be because the script isn't detecting OpenGL support...?

[blast]

There are many reasons why our configure script could think that OpenGL support is not there. It won't be clear why until we see the config.log file as that will show what tests are failing.

I'm having exactly the same issues as wildrune11 (same distro) and have posted the .configure output here with the config.log file.

Hope someone can help.

ChCh, you do not have the g++ compiler installed. It looks like the name of the package in Ubuntu is simply g++, so install that, do a make distclean command, and run configure again.

[cepris]

I'll try what Bullet Catcher has said and if I still fail to install then I will post my config file What will the make distclean command do?

[homebrewer]

I had the same trouble you are describing at first. I had to install lots of packages through synaptic; all I can suggest is you look through the config.log and try to knock down all its complaints.

Now, I get the client to compile but it has no sound support. config.log claims I have no SDL files, but the headers are right there (in /usr/include/SDL) where they should be and so is sdl-config (in the path). So I'm stuck.

[blast]

Note that you can't satisfy ALL of the tests that fail in config.log, since some of them are testing platform specific code. For instance, Mac OSX has the OpenGL header in a different spot compared to Linux.

As per README.Linux, ensure that you have the following installed:
libgl1-mesa-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev
libsdl1.2-dev
libcurl3-dev
libsdl-sound1.2-dev

[ChCh]

As per Bullet Catcher's advice above, I installed the g++ compiler and everything worked fine.

you do not have the g++ compiler installed.

All the libraries I required I installed (including g++ once I knew it was missing) using apt and had no other problems or download required.

Thanks all.
