There is a permanent error in the svn trunk, every time I try to check out and compile it (I use FruitieX script for ubuntu, I don't know if it could be a problem), it returns me that error:

Code: Select all

Failed to build Nexuiz


What could it be?

EDIT: no one can answer me? I think this is a big deal, because I've always updated Nexuiz without efforts. Could it be a problem in the SVN trunk? Someone, please says something!!

What version of fteqcc are you using? If you download the 'latest' build of it, Nexuiz will not build. Instead you need to pull the latest fteqcc code from SVN and build it. There is a thread somewhere on this issue.

thx Ed!But I'm still confused!

I didn't understand. Which has to be the 'latest' one?Fteqcc or Nexuiz?I commit svn check out of Nexuiz SVN at this address

http://svn.icculus.org/nexuiz/
Could you please post the link of the thread?

Your fteqcc is clearly outdated, you can get the one used in the official build there :
http://rm.endoftheinternet.org/~nexuiz/builds/

nexuizsource****.zip is the smaller archive (3.2 MB), it includes the file Nexuiz/sources/fteqcc-binaries-and-source-rev***.zip with binaries for all platform (windows, mac, and linux).

The official svn repo is :

Code: Select all

svn checkout https://fteqw.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fteqw/trunk/engine/qclib fteqcc

a huge thanks Ronan! It was fteqcc that was outdated! The only thing I don't understand is why devs used inside the SVN trunk an outdated version of fteqcc, instead of use the updated version!
thx again!

It's not outdated???

Fteqcc had some bugs that need to be fixed to work on nexuiz.

The best source to use for nexuiz is the nexuiz branch of http://github.com/Blub/qclib (if you know how to use git).
If you don't, just use the binary Ronan linked to

Thanks Mr. Bougo!

Well, I'll learn to use it!

Well actually, the latest FTEQCC from spikes checkout is perfectly stable now thanks to Blub.. The link is here: svn://fteqw.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot ... nk/engine/ --- And uses SVN, which is much easier to set up.
But anyway, do whichever you want. I personally prefer the SVN one because i'm on Windows and don't have easy access to use Git.

Sure, but for future developments the Git repo is certain to compile Nexuiz without errors.

Thanks Samual for that SVN link!I think I'll use it unless I learn GIT!

Something is broken in the SVN build system. It was working not long ago, but something got changed in whatever gets dl'd. Getting that sbar.qc error. The build system downloads the latest fteqcc from https://fteqw.svn.sourceforge.net/svnro ... gine/qclib fteqcc.

yeah, in fact. I use fruitieX script that's very useful, but it downloads fteqcc from this address, then the script recompiles fteqcc and errors start. I resolved using address that Ronan kindly posted. I want to learn git, and it would be great if fruitieX tells me how to change script to overwrite SVN with GIT. There's a line in the script that said:

echo "--- Checking out fteqcc from svn ---";error_reason="Failed to checkout fteqcc"
# -r 3177 is a temporary fix here because of a fteqcc compiler bug
svn co -r 3177 https://fteqw.svn.sourceforge.net/svnro ... ine/qclib/

So , If I understood right, it uses the 3177 version, and not the updated one. But It continues to sound strange to me, because today after compiling, it returns me that error:

Code: Select all

Error in constants.qh on line 178

And now I'm using the update fteqcc one!

well, solved! If someone were interested to compile again with fruitieX script just modify the script to the line 46 and replace 3177 with 3400 (current SVN release)
And it will search current release instead of 3177 and it will compile!
Now, if you want to compile with ode support (compile ode libs -most uptodate version of course- first!! )
just go to line 76
and replace make with:

Code: Select all

make DP_MAKE_TARGET=linux DP_ODE_STATIC_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib cl-nexuiz

cheers!
