I suppose the lack of SDL showing brings me back to my ./configure. When I grep for SDL my config.log file, it shows the following:

configure:18020: checking for SDL/SDL.h
configure:19634: checking for SDL framework
configure:19650: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -framework SDL conftest.c -lGLU -lGL -lm -lpthread >&5
gcc: SDL: No such file or directory
| #include <SDL/SDL_version.h>
configure:19746: checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.10
configure:19920: WARNING: could not find an appropriate SDL version. BZflag will build without SDL
ac_cv_header_SDL_SDL_h=no
ac_cv_path_SDL_CONFIG=no
HAVE_SDL_FALSE=''
HAVE_SDL_TRUE='#'
SDL_CFLAGS=''
SDL_CONFIG='no'
SDL_LIBS=''

That warning message 19920 seems to indicate SDL won't be used for the build. And, a few lines before that message, it looks like the call to the c++ compiler looking for an appropriate SDL framework is failing. I commented on this same observation back in my 2nd post in this thread. all (user-ID) recommended the need to install the libsdl1.2-dev package which has since then been confirmed as installed.

at this point you should try

Code: Select all

sdl-config --cflags --libs

your output should look something like this:
-I/usr/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT
-L/usr/lib -lSDL

If it does then you might do a make distclean and then ./autogen.sh
I can't remember if bzflags autogen will also run configure or not. You may need to run it again manually.
Then try make again. If this doesn't work you may have gotten some corrupted source or something.

Well, I finally got the SDL to hook-in on my ./configure using the "shotgun" method of installing most all program libraries which seemed remotely related -- about 28 programs total including dependencies. Which one actually fixed it, I don't know. Now, I will hop over to my fedora13 system to see if I can determine why I get an error during make install calling out the airspawn.so .
Thanks.

I had the same issue under Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 and I was able to solve it by using sigonasr2's post.

First, make sure your deb-src sources are enabled. Issue this in the terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep bzflag

Then, we need to grab the source code. Anomaly's comment about corruption may be true because when I downloaded it, I couldn't get it to work either. But when I use subversion, it worked. So, install subversion and do this:

Code: Select all

svn co https://bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bzflag/trunk/bzflag

Change into the directory and run:

Code: Select all

./autogen.sh

It'll ask you about some missing utilities. Install them as necessary and run it again until the errors go away.

After that's done, then issue:

Code: Select all

./configure

Make sure that it builds the client with SDL. If it doesn't have that SDL, then you won't get audio.

After that, run:

Code: Select all

make
sudo make install

Now you should have sound.
