I was just wondering who else out there had issues while compiling FreeOrion under linux...

Well, I'm using FreeBSD, which is not really supported yet it seems, and GG completely fails (compiles, but does not run). Frustrating.

Maybe it's just me being too lazy, but some library that FO uses wanted openGL support (or something) and altough I have openGL set up in my system, it doesn't work (certain library doesn't get compiled against oGL) ... For now, I'm testing FO at work with windows

@ Pasi:

I had problems linking against -GLU libs on my system. They are installed but are not detected. This messes up several programs that need GLU support but i found a way around it. Make a symlink to the actual lib file one directory down from it's actual location. It gets scanned and picks up perfectly.

I've rewritten the FO build-system for linux. Do a CVS update to get it

If you haven't installed automake 1.8, autoconf 2.59 you will have to use update-configure.sh after the cvs update to get the new files. Otherwise do a autogen.sh after the update.

I cannot upload the file to freeorion.sf.net ATM, so I've uploaded it here:

http://dennis.uni-hd.de/FO-autotools.tar.bz2

download it, copy it to the FreeOrion directory and call update-configure with the "-n" parameter

Did compiling FreeOrion v0.1 complete sucessfully for you under Linux?
