Yesterday, a solaris user, "sartek" thanks to our beloved develoers (developers developers developers) found a way how to compile and play Nexuiz on Solaris:

http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/nexuiz-o ... laris.html

So, we need to get nexuiz from here: http://alientrap.org/nexuiz

unzip it:
# unzip nexuiz-24.zip

change the working directory:
# cd Nexuiz/sources/

unzip the engine's source:
# unzip enginesource20080229.zip

# cd darkplaces

now, we need to change some files:
1. open `makefile` with your favorite text editor
add `SHELL=/usr/bin/bash` at the beginning, and if you have installed OSS (opensound system) add `DP_SOUND_API=OSS` I added it after `ifndef DP_MAKE_TARGET`
save & close

2. run this command:
# perl -pi -e 's/\bmodel_t\b/lh_dp_model_t/g' *.c *.h
it will replace the `model_t` function with `lh_dp_model_t`, we need this because `model_t` it's an internal solaris function

3. open `vid_glx.c` comment out line 292:
// vid_usingdgamouse = !!vid_dgamouse.integer;
save & close

4. open `snd_bsd.c`
a) comment out line 95
// break;
b) comment out line 197 and add `SndSys_Shutdown ();`
// SNDDMA_Shutdown ();
SndSys_Shutdown ();

5. now we can compile it:
# gmake cl-nexuiz
it should compile OK.

6. move the data files from Nexuiz to our folder:
# mv ../../data .

7. we can now play!

Here's something that might help Vista users.
Right click nexuiz-sdl.exe (or nexuiz.exe if you use that) and in the Properties window check the box labeled Disable desktop composition. This helps a lot in my experience.

How does vista come here anyway?

That's pretty obvious, you don't see it?

All of these changes have been applied to svn and will be in the next version, except for the makefile change (which I disagree with).

Can you tell me which part requires /usr/bin/bash and does not work with /bin/sh? I'd rather fix that one to work with /bin/sh too.

The other change you do to the makefile is not necessary either - you can change make variables on the command line, as in:

gmake DP_SOUND_API=OSS SHELL=/usr/bin/bash cl-nexuiz

What does it help with? fps, or crashes? Does it even do anything in fullscreen mode?

divVerent wrote:What does it help with? fps, or crashes? Does it even do anything in fullscreen mode?

Yes to all three. With it enabled the game is stuttery, and the driver (not the game) will crash. This behavior has been identical in windowed and fullscreen mode for me. (In full screen desktop composition will not automatically be disabled)

bash-3.2$ make cl-nexuiz

Damn, this does not help much.

Can you try the following commands on the OpenSolaris /bin/sh shell (run /bin/sh from the ocmmand prompt to make sure it is used):

echo "1"
echo ">> `echo 2` <<"
echo ">> `echo "3 4"` <<"
echo ">> `echo \"3 4\"` <<"
echo ">> $(echo "3 4") <<"

$ echo "1"
1
$ echo ">> `echo 2` <<"
>> 2 <<
$ echo ">> `echo "3 4"` <<"
>> 3 4
$ echo ">> `echo "3 4"` <<"
>> 3 4 <<
$ echo ">> $(echo "3 4") <<"
>> $(echo 3 4) <<
$

edit:
what do you think about set "SHELL=/usr/bin/env bash" ?

Now try:

make bin-release \
DP_MAKE_TARGET=sunos DP_SOUND_API=OSS \
EXE="nexuiz-glx" LDFLAGS_COMMON="-lm -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -R/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXpm -lXext -lXxf86vm `if [ -n "" ]; then echo " /libmodplug.a -lstdc++"; fi`"

And no, you can't reliably use "env" in SHELL.

works

Then you aren't in /bin/sh, or you wouldn't have gotten the make error above.

Seriously, your login shell apparently isn't /bin/sh, but some better shell. Please repeat this test using /bin/sh.

sorry i got lost in terminals

Finally, the syntax error.

Try the following command in /bin/sh:

echo bin-release \
DP_MAKE_TARGET=sunos DP_SOUND_API=OSS \

(this should be a syntax error)



echo bin-release \
DP_MAKE_TARGET=sunos DP_SOUND_API=OSS \
EXE="nexuiz-glx" LDFLAGS_COMMON="-lm -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -R/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXpm -lXext -lXxf86vm"

(this should work)



echo bin-release \

does this still work?

This must be a weird shell... please try too:

If this fails:

[ -z nothing ]

test -z nothing

If the [ one failed and the test one succeeded, try putting test -z nothing instead of [ -z nothing ], and test -n nothing instead of [ -n nothing ] in the following tests.



If it succeeded. or if you replace [ by test and remove ]:

Hi! sartek said you need some SunOS shell-foo.

divVerent wrote:This must be a weird shell...

Yes, it is. :)
POSIX requires the presense of a POSIX conformant shell impementation, but it does not state it should be /bin/sh.
And on SunOS its not a POSIX shell (/usr/xpg4/bin/sh is the POSIX).

Nesting quotes is something should be avoided at all times.
You can't know if a shell will parse it lazy or greedy.

You have made a false assumption, that it will eval from outside
to inside, but SunOS's /bin/sh parsed it left-to-right, so you got something like this:

"... if [ some test ]; then echo "

...which is of course wrong.

Also don't use subshell executions, because they take additional
resources and make the script slower (and ugly as SunOS /bin/sh doesnt know the $() syntax).


if [ -n "" ]; then
MODPLUG_FLAGS="/libmodplug.a -lstdc++"
else
MODPLUG_FLAGS=""
fi

PS.: See http://wiki.netbsd.se/The_pkgsrc_portab ... de#Solaris for more shell strangeness.

Sorry, we can't avoid the subshell there, as "portable" makefiles don't allow any other way to do the modplug check at runtime. Same with sdl-config... however, the subshell is no performance problem, as it is only done twice (by the outer "make" for the LDFLAGS, and by the gcc call for the CFLAGS for snd_modplug.c).

I know GNU make has a way for it, but makefile.inc is also used by BSDmakefile. So this may mean that we won't EVER support Solaris, as there simply is no alternative way to do what this check is doing.

Can you still do the checks I mentioned? We MAY get away by using single quotes there instead. Please try that.

i hope i followed correctly

i think you did not understand (i mean the shell spawned from the main scripts shell), but anyway single quote should work...
