Spring RTS Engine

Since I am not allowed to say how much I like your ideas and work, I will only blame you for not having opened this thread months ago.

Either your Spring archive was missing some files or something went wrong during compilation: check makeÔÇÖs log (or ÔÇ£pastebinÔÇØ it here). Also you can run ÔÇ£ccmake .ÔÇØ before cmake to have the full list of build options. If nothing else works, maybe try to run ÔÇ£makeÔÇØ instead of ÔÇ£make spr...

no, the bug is in the SDL library, which I reckon is used by 99% of the games in linux, therefore all games in linux share the same flaw; SDL needs be fixed instead or an alternative be used ( highly unlikely since it'd require some major rewriting ) Yes indeed, my question should have been ÔÇ£Is i...

What is the difference between this script and using your window manager to put the window in full screen mode like aegis said? By the way, is there a chance Spring get rid of this ÔÇ£featureÔÇØ (the full screen lock thing)? I bet every Linux user get stuck by it at least once. @oksnoop2: In theory ...

Except if it uses OTF fonts as a fallback when it cant find TTF ones (which I guess is not true anyway) Actually I was thinking that since Ive checked (by the way thats what I personally use to call common sense) that there was no OTF fonts on my system nor in the Spring sources. I...

You need the ÔÇ£freefontÔÇØ fonts (e.g. ttf-freefont Ubuntu package). Spring seems to run fine with the TTF fonts, so donÔÇÖt worry if you canÔÇÖt get the OTF ones.

No it doesnÔÇÖt, you can run a lobby server yourself: see at the bottom of the download page.

Actually I fully agree with what you wrote. My point was not to solve a problem of mine but rather to point out potential problems. So, if the cmake issue canÔÇÖt be solve for all configurations, I think it is very important to clearly document it in the installation instructions. Anyway, thank for ...

With the current version in the git repository (I supposed this is the Spring master).

Now is the right time to write it: Now the AI directory is compiled at install time, but at least the installation is completed without errors. Thanks for this. However I urge you to consider that compiling code at install time means doing it as root, which may lead to serious troubles for the user ...

or not. CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY actually doesnt change anything, my bad, I guess I used make instead of make spring.

OK, I see. I tried ÔÇ£cmake CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY="2.8" .ÔÇØ (default is 2.4) since I use cmake 2.8.1. Now the AI directory is compiled at install time, but at least the installation is completed without errors.

Some notes about compiling 0.82.3 which may be related to this thread (installation logs attached): Running ÔÇ£make install-springÔÇØ makes files in rts/lib/headlessStubs/ and tools/unitsync/ to be compiled. This should obviously happens while running ÔÇ£make springÔÇØ, not at installation time. Sou...
