Issues on Kubuntu feisty amd64

[Saint_Mike]

Ok, I was so looking foward to play Spring and it's mod, but I ran into multiple problems :S. I'm running Kubuntu 7.04 amd64.
First I tried compiling from source, version 0.75b2.

- When I do "scons configure" I get this:

Code: Select all

scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Now configuring.  If something fails, consult `config.log' for details.

Not all tests finished succesfully.  You are probably missing one of the
build dependencies.  See config.log for details.

Funny thing I installed all the dependencies from the setup guide, so I don't know the one I'm missing.

Then I tried installing a deb file I found in the forum, it was a i386 version though. I had to force the installation with:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture spring_0.75~b2-1_i386.deb

when I run the game I get this error:

Code: Select all

spring: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I even tried:

Code: Select all

linux32 spring

Well.. I had similar issues with another game and I just copied the "libSDL-1.2.so.0" file to game directory, but this time it doesn't seem to work.

I'm just newbie in the linux front but I'm willing to learn, so if someone has any suggestions so I can solve this problem so I can finally play Spring.
Thx in advance.

PS. I also tried playing the windows version with Wine, but I ran into another problem, I saw a post pointing there is a regretion in Wine, so I didn't paste that error here.

Build problem:
You need to install the java sdk or named jdk
If you have installed java sdk/jdk you should modified the config.py file:
http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtop ... 835#205835

wrong, jdk is needed to build unitsync with java bindings for aflobby, but spring and unitsync can be succesfully builded without it

he misses some the developement libs of boost or either they are not found by the scons script

No what you wrote is wrong. You need Java to complete scons configure. But one is right you only need java for aflobby and unitsync java bindings.

Everything seems OK.  Run `scons' now to build.
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
scons: Nothing to be done for `configure'.
scons: done building targets.

Ok, I'm installing the java sdk right know, I'll post my results in a moment, thx for the reply.

[Saint_Mike]

Wow :D, I just needed the JDK to be able to compile. I'm testing some maps and mods, It looks pretty amazing, I'm looking foward the updates on the engine,

Thx for the tips man, I'm off to play a little .
