problem with compiling in Debian

[pironman]

Good morning, I try to compile VDrift in debian stretch, but i get this error:

Code:

These are only the last lines, but there is a lot of similar error.
Whats the problem?

Thanks

Did you modify the source files?

That line does not make any sense:

Code:

error_output << "Error opening file for writing: " << error_output << endl;

It should be:

Code:

error_output << "Error opening file for writing: " << strFileName << endl;

No, I simply copy and paste

Your compiler is complaining about an error in a specific line of code. But this line of code does not match vdrift code. It is different. That is why I asked whether you did something with vdrift source code.

Good morning.

After 5 months, I'll try again.
Now I have a fresh debian installation on my pc, and some other differences.
I have just installed all the dependecies required.
Then, I try to compile, using the command as in the readme file:

Code:

scons arch=a64 release=1 extbullet=1 prefix=/usr/local

and that's the output:

Code:

root@mattia:/home/mattia/vdrift# scons arch=a64 release=1 extbullet=1 prefix=/usr/local
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Package bullet was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `bullet.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'bullet' found
OSError: 'pkg-config bullet --libs --cflags' exited 1:
 File "/home/mattia/vdrift/SConstruct", line 361:
   env.ParseConfig('pkg-config bullet --libs --cflags')
 File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Environment.py", line 1557:
   return function(self, self.backtick(command))
 File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Environment.py", line 594:
   raise OSError("'%s' exited %d" % (command, status))
root@mattia:/home/mattia/vdrift#

why package bullet not found?
in debian, that's package is "libbullet2.87", could be the different name the problem? How can I fix it?

Thanks

You need the dev package, which should be caled something like libbullet-dev. It should install pkgconfig/bullet.pc.

From my experience VDrift builds fine on Fedora, Arch Linux and Ubuntu. Not sure why it won't on your system.
