Bzflag failed when building on Linux Fuduntu 2013.2

[Carioca]

Hi folks,

When I build Bzflag using the new svn repor URL: https://svn.code.sf.net/p/bzflag/code/trunk/bzflag, after compilation I get the following message that was not generated the bzflag cliente binary and other issues.
Following the result and thanks for any assistance.

That's the output you get when './configure' is run. I don't see any errors. Did you do the './autogen.sh; ./configure; make' as stated in the README.Linux file? And it looks like you don't have OpenGL installed, hence the no bz client being configured to be built if that's your concern.

[blast]

Additionally, one common reason for the "need OpenGL" message is when there is no C++ compiler installed. Ensure you actualy have g++ installed. If that doesn't help, then you'll probably need to provide your config.log file here.

Hi allejo and blast,

Yes, I did all the procedures described in the README.Linux allejo and i guess that I have the OpenGL installed, plus C++ compiler too.
blast, following the config.log's result, after the four steps: "./autogen.sh", "./configure", "make" and "make install".
the file is attached and I hope that this can help you guys! Because i liked this Linux Distro Fuduntu, but if I can not help you guys, about my trouble (I'm sure the problem is between the keyboard and the chair), I will install another distro where bzflag works well.
Thank you for the quick response and valuable assistance.

From the config.log, I noticed this for an OpenGL test I think is supposed to work on Linux.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.2/../../../libGL.so when searching for -lGL
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libGL.so when searching for -lGL
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

Do you have an nVidia card by chance? If so, did you install the drivers using their "Hardware Drivers" control panel, or did you install them manually?

[Carioca]

blast, I have an AMD Radeon HD 7900 series card and I installed the newer ATI Catalyst drivers manually.
I put my hardware's information for help you if necessary.

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libGL.so when searching for -lGL

/usr/lib64/libGL.so is what you need to link with on your 64-bit computer. I don't know the best way to make that happen.

[blast]

My guess is that manually installing the Catalyst drivers screwed something up with your system. I tried with a fresh install of Fuduntu 2013.2 here, and configure properly detected the OpenGL library (though I did not yet try with the binary drivers installed). Installing the binary drivers from AMD.com or nvidia.com is generally discouraged by Linux distributions. The 13.1 Catalyst drivers are already provided in the Fuduntu repositories, and it is likely that only those are supported, not the ones from AMD.com. You should talk with the Fuduntu support to see if they can work through the problem with you.

Hi, blast and Bullet Catcher!

You are correct blast, I made a clean installation of this Linux distro Fuduntu and I used the drivers provided by them. It's all working perfect! Finally I got it compile a client of Bzflag.
Thanks a lot for your assistance blast, allejo and Bullet Catcher.

Best regards,

Carioca
