Forums - Problems compiling Vdrif on Slackware

hi everyone!
first of all, sorry about my English, I'm writing from Argentina.

I'm trying to compile vdrift-2012-07-22 in Slackware linux, but I have one problem, this is my output :

bash-4.2# scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Your GLEW library is out of date.

I have installed Glew 1.9.0

some idea?
thx guys!

Hi skilltik,

check you glew 1.9.0 installation. Has the shared lib been installed properly?

usr/lib/libGLEW.so should symlink to usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.9.0 or something like that.

thanks for ask!

I solved that, but now I have this output:

I have no idea what the problem..

Oh, yeah the SDL2/1 compatibility issue.

You will need to apply: vdrift-2012-07-22c_patch.diff
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdrift/f...012-07-22/

I should repack the source tarball eventually, or just do a new release.

Btw if you can afford the bandwidth/hdd space I recommend to build from source:
http://wiki.vdrift.net/index.php?title=G...nt_version

Done!! its compiled, but.. when I try to run the game, fails

I guess I do not meet the hardware requirements, my bad xD

thanks for the help!

No wait, you are almost there. If you read the output closely, you will see that it is complaining about a missing config file. Check the data path. Was it installed where it should: /usr/local/share/games/vdrift/data/shaders/render.conf.noshaders ?

You right! Big Grin

After execute "scons install" the game works.. BUT, closes when I try to play..

Weird... can you try a few other cars tracks?

I try different cars and tracks but doesn't works Confused

As a last thing you could try a release build: scons release=1

I think the default is debug. Would be interesting to see what happens to the car.

Oh btw, what bullet version are you compiling against and what is your compiler version?

works worse, closes as soon as the game loads

I think I give up, thanks anyway!

Is working!! I updated the bullet version to 2.81 and works fine.

here a pic:

thanks NaN Big Grin

The Intel Linux graphics driver, duh. There was a time, like one year ago, where it didn't have this graphical artifacts.

I'll see if I find some time to poke on this, still have got an older intel laptop for testing here.
