scons install fails

[thelusiv]

ok, I bet since you're running x86_64 the name of your libs are different and therefore it's not finding the right openal lib. Could you do something like this for me:

Code:

thelusiv@superfun:~/games/vdrift$ ls /usr/lib |grep openal
libopenal.a
libopenal.la
libopenal.so
libopenal.so.0
libopenal.so.0.0.0

If things are as I expect we will need to build some x86-64 specific packages. Who wants to work on this? It's not hard to make the packages, just run something like this:

Code:

scons minimal=1 use_binreloc=1 use_apbuild=1 autopackage

and after a while, if it works right (it should damnit!) it will produce a file for you "vdrift-2006-07-08.x86-64.package" (i'm guessing on the -64 part, mine just come out as "x86". If it doesn't do this automatically you can add it ).

To test this file, just run it. It is a good idea to uninstall VDrift first if you haven't already, so you can be sure it installs properly. Try running the game, etc. If everything works great, then rename the file to something like "vdrift-2006-07-08-minimal.x86-64.package".

Now make another package with minimal=0. This will take a while (there's a lot of files!)

Code:

scons minimal=0 autopackage

notice you don't have to repeat the other options, scons remembers them for you in vdrift.conf. Once this is done, you'll have another "vdrift-2006-07-08.x86-64.package" to test and rename.

If anyone successfully builds an x86-64 package I'll give them file release access on the VDrift project page and you can upload your packages, and also post a story on the front page announcing the packages.
