ok i checked out the wiki and said use scons so now i am getting this prob.

Code:

bash@bash-desktop:~/Desktop/Download/vdrift-2009-02-15$ scons arch=a64
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

You do not have the SDL/SDL_net.h headers installed. Exiting.

i installed the prerequisites...

have you installed also the corresponding "dev" package?
In Fedora it is like this (but the package name should be something different in others distros):

SDL_net.i386 : SDL portable network library
SDL_net-devel.i386 : Development files for SDL_net

[n00b]

i installed the ones in wiki

Code:

g++ scons libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libvorbis-dev libglew-dev libasio-dev

fixed it by installing libsdl-net1.2-dev

[n00b]

i got it compiled and installed

Code:

Install file: "build/vdrift" as "/usr/share/games/vdrift/bin/vdrift"
scons: done building targets.

how do i run it?

edit, i figured it out.... its
/usr/share/games/vdrift/bin/vdrift

i installed the ones in wiki

Code:

g++ scons libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libvorbis-dev libglew-dev libasio-dev

fixed it by installing libsdl-net1.2-dev

Wiki updated: http://wiki.vdrift.net/Compiling#Prerequisites

For the latest errors you posted is better if we wait for someone who have more knowledge than me but it seems like there is some missing/not found data/shader

[n00b]

the weird thing about this is that it worked once but after that first time i ran it. I have been getting this error. :/

[joevenzon]

There is a problem with the install script, so you have to manually copy your files over. Something like this:

Code:

cd ~/Desktop/Download/vdrift-2009-02-15
cp -r data/* /usr/share/games/vdrift/data

Also, in the future SDL_net will no longer be required (replaced with boost).

the weird thing about this is that it worked once but after that first time i ran it. I have been getting this error. :/

Since n00b is saying it did work then first time I think that n00b already has the missing data files copied over, as such the error is likely caused by the path problem that I have been getting as well.

Basically if this is the case you should be able to run it by first doing
cd /usr/share/games/vdrift/bin
then do ./vdrift

[joevenzon]

My guess is that when it worked the first time he was running it from the directory where he had compiled it, so it found ./data, which wasn't missing any files.
