FreeOrion

Right. It works when run inside build directory, not as installed.

Try going into options from the main menu, and on the directories tab, make sure the resouce directories is pointing where it should for the version you're running. Checked. Seems to be correct. Make sure you're actually running the latest version you thought you were, which might not be the case i...

I did 'rm -Rf ~/.freeorion' before second test, but same errors happened.

Running on 64bit Ubuntu Jaunty After some time of universe creation (I suppose it's already created and game proceeds to next step) number of error messages is written to console where game was launched and nothing more happens. It seems to me that latter errors are just consequence of the first one...

I'm developing a (nightly) build tool called FullMoon ( http://www.cazfi.net/fullmoon/ ) I'm now using FreeOrion build as one of the test cases for this system.

FullMoon is currently Linux only tool.

At the same time I wonder why bindir and datadir defaults are not relative to prefix (according to "scons -h")? Now I have to set all three separately to install freeorion to separate directory hierarchy. Further testing proved that they actually are correctly relative to prefix, 'scons -...

Another thing to try, which I'd like to hear back about, is to find the function OgreGUI::Enter2DMode in GG/src/Ogre/OgreGUI.cpp and replace if (glUseProgramARB) glUseProgramARB(0); with glUseProgram(0); This seems to be (one of the?) issue with ATI cards, and is discussed here as well: http://www....

The datadir and bindir *defaults* are necessarily determined in C++ code, and have to function even if there are no files available to provide them. The only way (I think?) to have these defaults change depending on the scons parameters would be to have the scons script modify the source code befor...

If you change the working directory out of FreeOrion, you will NOT be able to run the game, because it will try to find ./freeoriond and ./freeorionca as soon as you start a game. Actually those processes are launched ok according to process list just before the crash. This is what I did (dependenc...

Code: Select all

Thanks, that (or rather; correct value) fixed the workdir problem

Yeah, I'll try another machine with nvidia.

I also encountered this same error main() caught exception(std::runtime_error): Failed to find an Ogre GL render system. I looked from the source code where it printed error message like that and debugged error to missing ogre_plugins.cfg file. This problem was solved when I copied ogre_plugins.cfg ...
