Re: Oolite + Chromebook

[...] Just to confirm - the GPU Support is still not enabled and the DEBIOO window has not popped up again. I have also shut down/rebooted a couple of times - and all remains stable as above. Weird about the GPU, as without that I'd expect things to be terrible. Maybe there's a context issue here, ...

Re: Oolite + Chromebook

In case the plethora of reference above is a bit much, here's what I guess is the least you need to do to enable hardware accelerated graphics for the linux container on your Chromebook. Open Chrome and enter this address: chrome://flags/#crostini-gpu-support Enable GPU support Click restart After ...

Re: Attempting to get 1.91 built on Mac

Didn't deal with Mac builds in some time, but in the "deps" folder you should have both libogg and vorbis folders, with a bonus of "Ogg Vorbis" folder in "Cocoa-deps". Each of these host some ".xcodeproj" folders (in libogg and vorbis under their "macosx&...

Re: Science Fiction Trivia

[...] Hate to say it, but according to Wikipedia that's a series about interstellar bounty hunters - cargo isn't even mentioned. Or is there something else? Hate to admit it, but now that you mentioned it, I think I remember the wording on the title screen starting with "I'm a bounty hunter, t...

Re: Included libraries preen. Forward compatibility.

Worked on Slackware 15.0

Just needed to switch the libespeak.so.1 (based on portaudio, which I don't have) to the libespeak.so.1.pulseaudio (provided in the deps archive).

Re: It's Only Wafer-Thin...

I switched ubuntu-latest to ubuntu-22.04 in the github autobuild script. The release should be out shortly. Please test if you get a chance and let me know if it's now OK. That still would be too "high" here. Slackware's stable (a.k.a version 15.0) is glibc-2.33. I think ubuntu-22.04 has ...

Re: It's Only Wafer-Thin...

Just self compiled 1.91.0.7648-250114-3e14af8 on my Slackware 15.0 -- nothing out of the ordinary.
Out of src/Core/Scripting/OOJavaScriptEngine.m the runtime JS size is 256.

NB: I was having the libc issue here since a while with the official builds.

Re: Recommended tool for extensive editing of planetinfo.plist ?

If the comprehensibility of the regex is a challenge, then this awk code might be easier to grasp: { if ($1=="economy") { if ($3=="0;") here=1; else here=0; } if (($1=="sun_distance") && here) { split($3, val,";"); print sprintf("\t\tsun_distance ...

Re: Recommended tool for extensive editing of planetinfo.plist ?

Taking regex out of the equation, awk could also be a good tool (mainly for the type of operation mentioned, i.e. involving just doing math on a value). It would also easily allow getting messy with regex.
