The Transport Empire Linux effort
The main goal for this topic is to get Transport Empire run on as many Linux distributions as possible.
UPDATE 25-01-2009:
As of revision 141 the renewed linux effort is in the Transport Empire trunk.
Transport Empire is now built using CMake. Due to recent engine changes a part of the port had to be redone.
Currently I have not been able to get more then a black screen. If you manage to get an image, please reply to this topic along with the version of Ogre you are using.
Building:
To build TE on linux please read README.linux.
Get yourself a copy from svn, "check out" [url]svn://80.247.163.104/trunk/te2[/url]
Edit: 25 Feb 2008
As of revision r86 you can now use "./configure" followed by "make" to compile the game on any distribution. Please report if you have any problems with running the game on the distribution your using.
Confirmed to build:
- CentOS 5.0
Confirmed to run:
Confirmed to actually show something:

Naturally...
Code: Select all
[root@localhost charles]# yum search freeimage
Loading "priorities" plugin

You could compile FreeImage from source....

Code: Select all
1. FreeImage
Get the latest source package from: http://freeimage.sourceforge.net
make
make install (Make sure you are logged in as root for this step)

Could you please use
cmake instead of autoconf/automake?

I will look into your suggestion, as I'm struggling with autoconf. It's not really the easiest thing to set up.
Re: The TE Linux effort - configure script testing in progress

A version which has a configure script is being tested at the moment. As soon as it is tested and working as expected, I will commit it to the trunk. As soon as this is done it should compile on other distributions.

Please read the first post for more details.

Hello,
I am not able to do "svn co svn://svn.tempire.zernebok.net/" - I get "unknown host svn.tempire.zernebok.net"
I even tried "svn co
http://tempire.zernebok.net/svn/", but it doesn't work, too
Do you have any other svn mirror?

Same here; svn.tempire.zernebok.net and tempire.zernebok.net are both NXDOMAIN. zernebok.net and
http://www.zernebok.net are not.
You might just need to wait for a dns refresh or use the IP; dnsstuff.com can find them.

Just use Sourceforge's SVN
It's not hard

orudge changed the svn domain details in anticipation of the transportempire.com domain being moved over. Fact is, that isn't going to happen until my brain starts working again.
For now, you can use:
svn://81.171.98.104/trunk

I've totally f*** up my Linux partition, so I won't be able to test this for quite some time I'm afraid.
