Trying to build from source on opensuse

[JensenHealey]

I am attempting to build vdrift on OpenSuSE

I have satisfied all of the dependancies and I have the various NVidia drivers and libraries installed but when the build gets to fbobject.o it spits out a LOT of errors about undefined GL constants and functions. Those constants and functions are defined in /usr/include/nvidia/GL/glext.h on my system but it seems the vdrift sources are not pulling that stuff in properly.

In looking through the various source files (.cpp and .h files) I do not see anywhere that glext.h would be listed as an include.

I tried adding an #include line in src/glstatemanager.h but still when I tried to build it I got the same undefined errors.

Since the stable sources did not buil;d I then tried pulling the latest stuff from git and building from that but I got the exact same build errors with that source tree as well.

I can supply a complete record of the build messages with all of the error output if that would help

Hi JensenHealey

You need glew >= 1.5.7 with the OpenGL 3 bits. We need add it to the readme.

[JensenHealey]

Ah Ha! I found a download for The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library and built that. Now my build of vdrift is progressing beyond the fbobject.o part.

A better pointer towards this vital piece of software does need to be in the README. The description in the README does not say "The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library" It just says "OpenGL extension utilities" which is not a good pointer or description to lead me to the right library.

BTW, I used GLEW 1.5.2 from http://glew.sourceforge.net/

[NaN]

The game is using glew not glext.h to deal with opengl stuff.

[JensenHealey]

CRUD! Now the build is stopping somewhere else:

CPP build/gl3v/glenums.o
In file included from src/gl3v/glenums.cpp:28:
src/gl3v/glenums.def: In constructor ‘GLEnums::GLEnums()’:
src/gl3v/glenums.def:34: error: ‘GL_RGB10_A2UI’ was not declared in this scope

src/gl3v/glenums.def:173: error: ‘GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC1_ALPHA’ was not declared in this scope
scons: *** [build/gl3v/glenums.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Do I need a different version of the GLEW library now or what?

[NaN]

The latest version is 1.7.0. 1.5.7 should be enough I guess.

[JensenHealey]

I downloaded 1.7.0 and tried that . This seems to have fixed my latest issue.

Shouldn't the readme for vdrift include minimum library versions needed?

[NaN]

Yeah, why not.

The development happens against the latest stable release of a lib and usually the distros are keeping up quite well. No idea why they are making so much trouble with glew.

[JensenHealey]

Thanks for all the help. It runs now but seems to not find the car data.

[JensenHealey]

So when I try to start any race I get a progress bar for a while where I assume it is loading files. Then it goes back to the start a race screen without ever getting to the race.

I looked down in the car data directory and things seem to be there. It is finding the track data but refusing to find the car files which are located in the same data directory structure as the tracks.

[NaN]

Is this latest code and latest data?

[JensenHealey]

Yeah, I think so. See my post under the Help forum for additional views of the files I have.

I can do md5 sums on car data if necessary.

[JensenHealey]

I have just removed the current data directory and checking out a fresh copy from svn just to make sure.
