Problem building - javilon - 09-09-2007

I am on Gentoo amd64. I have installed the dependencies and scons. Then I have checked out the development code from svn.

When I try to build it, I get a scons error.

Code:
jsantos@desktop ~/Apps $ cd vdrift/

jsantos@desktop ~/Apps/vdrift $ scons

scons: Reading SConscript files ...

NameError: name 'Entry' is not defined:

  File "SConstruct", line 262:

    target_factory = Entry,

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, but it looks like a problem with the script if you go by the scons error report.

Interesting, I don't have this issue, but I'm not sure what that exact line of SConstruct does. What version of SCons are you using?

Could you try upgrading to 0.97? There's an ebuild for it in portage.

version 0.97 of scons fixes the problem - javilon - 09-16-2007

I upgraded to 0.97 (it is masked right now) and this fixed the problem.

While building I have found a number of dependencies that are not listed on the "build" instruccions:

sdl-net
ode
libvorbis

data dir - javilon - 09-16-2007

Ok, I got it to build.

Then when I run it, it complained about the data directory missing. I downloaded vdrift-2007-03-23-data-full.tar.bz2 and copied the data directory inside the vdrift directory.

It now complains about a skin:

I guess there is a development version of the data that fixes this problem... how can I get it?

- FFuser - 09-16-2007

Our wiki on wiki.vdrift.net Wrote:Checking out the data

The data set is currently only available from the SourceForge SVN. Get it with "svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift vdrift-data" and link vdrift-data to the vdrift/data from svn.vdrift.net
[edit]

What I do is (in the dir where you have the source)
"svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift data"

No linkng required.

But be carefull: it downloads hundreds of MB

- cotharyus - 09-16-2007

Actually, it downloads about 1.2G of data.

- javilon - 09-16-2007

I have got the latest data from svn and linked it inside the vdrift directory as indicated, but still vdrift doesn't start.

It claims that "Skin name not found in config file..." but looking at my .vdrift/VDrift.config file it sets the skin to "simple":

Code:
[ display ]

FOV = 45.000000

anisotropic = 0

antialiasing = 0

car_shadows = on

depth = 16

fullscreen = off

height = 600

input_graph = off

lighting = 0

mph = on

reflections = 0

show_fps = off

show_hud = on

skin = simple

texture_size = medium

trackmap = off

view_distance = 2500.000000

width = 800

If you've upgraded from a previous version of vdrift, try deleting (or moving) your VDrift.config file. It *should* get re-created with all of the correct settings, but if not let me know.

- thelusiv - 09-19-2007

Joe's suggestion is a good idea but the skin name not found error is benign. Your problem with errors creating a surface are bigger than that. Can you report the version of SDL and SDL-image? Also have you been able to successfully run other OpenGL games without problems?

- joevenzon - 09-19-2007

Oops, good catch thelusiv! That's definitely the problem.

About 3d apps, I have got glgears working, enemy-territory, second life, etc... I have a nvidia card with the propietary drivers.

- xTs - 09-20-2007

Could you try running vdrift with strace or gdb? A debug output might help us finding the problem.

- joevenzon - 09-20-2007

What are the display width, display height, and display depth set at in your ~/.vdrift/VDrift.config file?
