How to compile for 64bit ubuntu 7.10

[rcdraco]

Simple question, how do I compile spring for my 64bit Operating system? I am pretty confident with using Terminal and going to root and such, I know it's going to require me to compile myself and I don't want to end up screwing it up by taking a wild guess and just screwing myself over later.

why building? the ubuntu repo has 64 bit debs too

[LordMatt]

scons configure
install missing packages
scons
sudo scons install

[rcdraco]

LordMatt, that seems not to work at all, there's a line error. :O

scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 1128, in _main

[BrainDamage]

you're running scons from the wrong directory, make sure you run it from the root folder of the tarball

[rcdraco]

And what directory am I looking for? I didn't download spring yet...

[Auswaschbar]

scons configure
install missing packages
scons configure
scons
sudo scons install

fixed it

You can download the tarball here: http://spring.clan-sy.com/dl/spring_0.76b1_src.tar.bz2
extract and run the commands in this folder

[rcdraco]

Ok, I'm getting packages, but they keep locking up and then saying it will take 4 hours to get them. :O

I partially blame verizon's throttling on my previously un-throttled line...

as long as you know you can get spring easily from the PPA, it's ok.

[rcdraco]

I can't get it to load from the version I downloaded that had springlobby, nor with the files I just made, it won't list mods or maps, and AF lobby can't change settings.

[Vadi]

Afaik you need to download mods & maps yourself, see this:

[rcdraco]

I have Kernel Panic in mods, and Delta Siege in maps, how do I make it compile for 64 bit now, it says I compiled for 32bit...

[Vadi]

So when you in SpringLobby go to Single Player, select kernel panic as mod, choose a map, you aren't able to play?

[rcdraco]

No, I was unable to select a map/mod.

I resolved the problem by using the linux installer on this page. Oddly enough a 32bit program, and I get 30fps max settings, no water. But still get the water bug on maps with water.

[Vadi]

It doesn't matter for spring atm if the binary is 32 or 64bit.

About water, what do you mean? It looks streaky or fails to appear?

[rcdraco]

It's a pentium D 3ghz with 1gb ram, and an MSI 8600gt 512mb ddr2 vram. It's the 8 series bug of course, but unlike on windows, only strikes are from islands out, water over land works fine for some odd reason.

[Vadi]

Yeah, launch springsettings and set the water to reflective+refractive. That's what I did on my 8600gt too.
