Oolite Bulletins

[...] I'm not sure about the segfault with the old SDL1.2 version - could be that there have been bug fixes to the SDL since then or maybe some sort of clash if different SDL versions are somehow pulled into the build. Glad it worked with sdl12-compat. Thanks for testing! The same old "SDL1.2&...

[...] Please try my latest changes on the branch. I have implemented making splash window same size as main and it seems to work reliably without the SDL2/SDL3 code (which didn't seem to work with SDL12compat->SDL2compat->SDL3 setup). For example this appimage works fine for me: https://github.com/...

Oh, well!

Well indeed -- didn't even need to install sdl12-compat, just LD_LIBRARY_PATHed it!

[...] which just moves the bottom right corner [...] That's what I observe too, the splash and game window are started in the bottom right, not entering the setPos branch at all. On the other hand I just noticed the SDL2compat and SDL12compat (which I'd have to install) references in the github mes...

Please can someone with Arch or Fedora (or other distro in which SDL3 is called via sdl2compat and sdl12compat) build and test Oolite from this branch: https://github.com/mcarans/oolite/tree/refs/heads/1.92-maintenance Relates to: https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/issues/555#issuecomment-3988...

Condolences from me, too.

[...] Now proceeding with Oolite compilation. Whew, quite the ride! After couple of ins/outs with wingdi.h (in order to bring in the previous environment's DISPLAYCONFIG stuff), finally managed to get oolite.exe, of course, by using again "messages=yes" for linking :-D And, of (the same) ...

[...] make messages=yes [...] This was what I was looking for (each build system, lately, has an obscure way of enable/disable verbosity of its works).

I tried a local mingw64 build using mcarans mingw64_environment. Couple of things: - I used an (older, but not that old -- 4.4.23(2) msys2 bash, 10.1.0 gcc) local mingw64 environment I'm using for other windows Linux-like tools I like to build. - Being a Linux Slackware user, I didn't pacman anythin...

My 0.02 Cr -- although I mentioned the "unreliable" relative @"AddOns" in Linux, it is something I'm using, again, as someone not making use of the ManagedAddOns. It is useful for multiple Oolite instances where the common ~/.Oolite/AddOns could become a drawback, or an unwanted ...
