what s the annoying part is that .GNUstepDefaults keeps changing the width and height and cause it to crash =/ i think anyway. no way to tell i guess

Since 1.73.4 is what you need why don't you install
the .package (32bit or 64bit) or the .deb 32bit setup?

World of Warcraft? Why would you run Oolite and WoW at the same time?

I thought KEE was imply that since he'd installed Oolite, WoW is running slowly (or vice versa - not really sure) - I don't think he meant he was running both simultaneously

I can confirm that building plain old 1.73-maintenance works as expected on my Lucid laptop:

Code: Select all

$ svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/oolite-linux/branches/1.73-maintenance
$ cd 1.73-maintenance
$ make -f Makefile release
$ oolite.app/oolite

No segfault or other crashes.

On a brand-new install of lucid, of course one would first have to install all the relevant development packages, as outlined in the first post of this thread.

As others have said, unless you want to make some personal tweaks to the game, why don't you just try the precompiled binaries?

Hopefully I'm not confusing the issue... but 64 bit Lucid is having some problems with Nvidia drivers and the xserver. I had to disable them on my wife's desktop for now because they would crash the xserver whenever the display settings would be changed, like during login. I would imagine this would also hold true when changing window sizes too as both games use 3d graphics. Have had three Nvidia driver updates so far this month but I don't know if they've got it fixed yet. Not yet ready to listen to her if her computer crashes again so she's still on 2d graphics.

I had that on Gutsy when it first came out - I could log on - but it would crash out of xserver if we switched user (my wife preferred a different screen res to me) - shame if this kind of problem has come back.

That means you haven't sourced your "GNUstep.sh" before trying to compile.

On Debian/Ubuntu, this file is, by default, in /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles.

See step 1.2 of the first post.
