[NoBug] - Installing on Ubuntu (download the WHOLE source)

[Toe Knee]

Hi,
I've recenlty became re-addicted to OTTD (mmm network play ) and have also recently moved from Gentoo to Ubuntu. Unfortunatley Gentoo has spoiled me by having all development stuffs already available. Ubuntu has very little. I've installed all that I can think of (and there dev versions), but still have the same problem...

Code: Select all

toeknee@toeknee:~/tmp/openttd-0.3.6 $ make
make: *** No rule to make target `endian_check.c', needed by `endian_check'.  Stop.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you didn't extract/download the complete openttd source... endian_check.c is suppposed to be in there...

[Toe Knee]

That'll be it. My bad.

Thanks.

I installed Openttd on my laptop running Ubuntu.. didnt have any troubles!

[Toe Knee]

Yeah, it was just me not unpacking it properly.

Although it does run jerkey (and about 60% cpu) without music and unplayable with music (100%cpu). It runs fine on Gentoo though, any ideas?

Code: Select all

file-roller -f package.tar.gz

Will work for almost any compresing format. The drawback is that you must be in X, as it is a gnome, program, althroght the -f flag will make the program extract the files without futher input, and then quit the program.

(Ubuntu users can skip this:)
As file-roller is a part of Gnome you would need to install it if it is not installed as default with your distrubution.

Or just use unrar, it extracts all known formats

ubuntu comes with Gnome, I *think* that program is on it, perhaps not..

Yes, file-roller is (or will be) a part of GNOME.
but it is merely a front-end for the console-based tools.
(I learned that the hard way, when trying to UNRAR a .rar archive on my slackware box without having unrar installed:))
