Autohost - how to set one up with debian (amd64)?

[microflea]

Hello all,

with my first post I ask you for some help for setting up a dedicated sever to host spring games.

The server runs debian etch with an amd64 kernel.

As far as I know, there are two possibilities:
Setting up SPADS by bibim or setting up Springie by licho.

With Planetspring down the options are limited to Springie.

What I have done so far:
sudo apt-get install mono
sudo apt-get install mono-common
sudo apt-get install libmono-winforms2.0-cil
sudo dpkg -i spring-0.79.1.2_20090802-1_amd64.deb
(from http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... lit=debian)

I also downloaded springie.zip from http://springie.licho.eu/ and put it in a separate directory in my home dir.

The springie.zip file contains teh folloing files:
465408 05-23-09 00:00 Springie.exe
11264 03-13-09 16:27 ModInfoBuilder.exe
19747 05-19-09 02:30 readme.txt
867555 05-09-09 11:29 modinfo.dat
55985 05-09-09 11:29 mapinfo.dat

I changed to the separate directory, unziped the zip-file and tried "mono Springie.exe" and "mono Springie.exe -nogui" but to no avail.

The only result of these commands are a bunch of exceptions:

Code: Select all

** (Springie.exe:11716): WARNING **: Missing method System.Windows.Forms.Application::SetUnhandledExceptionMode(UnhandledExceptionMode) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/gac/System.Windows.Forms/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Windows.Forms.dll, referenced in assembly /home/marmor/spring/Springie.exe

Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Windows.Forms.Application.SetUnhandledExceptionMode'.

So: How do I continue?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Of course you need a linux binary for the dedicated server. I don't know if there are any packets for debian, maybe you could try the ones from ubuntu? If you have compiled apps before, it shouldn't be that hard to compile the dedicated server yourself, see http://springrts.com/wiki/Building_Spring_on_Linux

See http://springrts.com/wiki/Ubuntu_install for ubuntu install.

This is springie exceptions, just install windows.forms mono package as well and it should work.

If you have any problems just PM me in the lobby or here.

Thank you for your help!

I just set up a new xen guest running ubuntu 9.04 and springie seems to run without problems. Hence, I didn't continue to try to get springie working on debian etch.

I will now try to configure springie without a GUI :).
