0.79.02 - unitsync big errors.

[bjv]

Im having big problems with latest spring, and they all revolve around unitsync

I installed spring & springlobby from the 9.04 ubuntu repo, but when launching the lobby client it dies with:

Code: Select all

06:02:06 PM: LoadUnitSyncLib (  )
06:02:06 PM: Loading from: /usr/lib/spring/unitsync.so
Illegal instruction

running spring directly gets an even less helpful:

Code: Select all

$ spring
Illegal instruction

so i grabbed the MS windows installer & threw it into Wine, to my amazement it died with: Failed to load shared library 'E:\bin\Spring\unitsync.dll' (error 1: invalid function)
and the wine console printing:

Code: Select all

06:15:07 PM: LoadUnitSyncLib (  )
06:15:07 PM: Loading from: E:\bin\Spring\unitsync.dll
06:16:32 PM: runtime assertion ( ../src/springunitsynclib.cpp:102 ): Couldn't load the unitsync library

is everything just totally broken?
I even fetched spring_0.79.0.2_src.tar.gz and built it with cmake, That copy dies too with a similar:

Code: Select all

for now ive got spring_0.74b3.exe running in Wine, now if only i could figure out how to launch a botmatch directly from spring.exe.

For srs? Its pretty easy.

[bjv]

wow, ok yeah good call,

cmake for whatever reason decided to build with ' -mfpmath=sse -msse'


i can try and rebuild my source version,
Is this what broke the windows & ubuntu 9.04 repo copies too though?
seems a little.. odd to have a repo version that breaks without intel.

@Pressure Line
ah, in 0.74 those are called "Global AI test", which sounded a little.. chaotic.
i'd just loaded 'Test Script', then moved on.

[imbaczek]

it builds with sse because that's what you need to play online - you'll get sync errors if you don't. using x86 fpu math will allow you to play locally with bots, but that's it.
