Linux doesnt like square's q2kicker script

[VaeVictis]

Linux is user friendly. Yeah right.

Now you are past the script problems and into the aprq2 sources and ports.
You probably won't be able to build ref_gl without Open_GL support for that distro.

well crunchbang is basically just a modified debian... its closer to debian than something like ubuntu

ill see what i can do about open_gl...

[quadz]

ref_gl/qgl.h:29: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘GLchar’
ref_gl/qgl.h:29: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘*’ token

The type defaults to int warning makes it sound like a GL header file might be missing.  (Or the #include for it is missing.)

Beyond that, you'd need to paste some of the source for ref_gl/qgl.h leading up to line 29, so we can see the code that failed to compile.

EDIT: really dont know much about installing programs by building from a script Sad but this is really a pain in the ass... should just use a main stream distro, would probably be easier

Sounds like you're planning to embark on an IT career anyway, so, on the plus side, it won't hurt to become familiar with the compiler toolchain...

gimme the money to buy a book on it and maybe i would lol

You don't need to buy a book on it. Most of the documentation for GCC is online. In any case, the documentation for the Linux distro you are using is your primary source for information on how to use and configure it, along with all the tools it uses.

Computer books are obsolete months before they are even printed and published.

books tend to cover exam objectives well, thats all i care about atm

i just wish quake would work on it... would probably run #! much more than a couple hours at a time.... amsn works, xchat works, browser works, i can do a good deal of stuff in linux... just miss my games

So what do I do with my three and a half inch thick MS-Dos 3.0 book?

ok well im using the script in the second post... crunchbang linux... think ive satisfied dependencies...

just pastebinning the whole shell session, took out my host name and user name


http://pastebin.com/GnY07RDR

if i missed anything security wise let me know... i really dont know much about compiling software :/ maybe ill try it in fedora as well, see if it fairs any better...

as for the questions it asks running about patching for shit... openal support wouldnt break it, its just adding support for it, thats what i think anyway xD and the two things it asks if i need to patch for, just searched my packages and didnt have the first but had the second so thats why i answered no then yes

crunchbang is sweet for a little ultra light distro but omfg its startin to piss me off

[VaeVictis]

well this obviously is going NOWHERE... :/ anyone have alternate methods for getting q2 to run good on linux? with a client like aprq2 or r1q2 ofc...

[Arm0r]

yeah, you suck it up and move to an OS you actually know how to use.

You're missing the OpenGL dev package, apparently.

Might be: sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

i know how to use linux actually... i know quite a lot about linux

everything but games kicks ass on linux no problem... but even native games are working me over

package managers are the biggest joy in the world... xD all this kinda stuff just kills me 

[soh]

This is how I felt when I was on Ubuntu. Lack of Linux people out here

Although, I use Linux for just about everything else other than games

But Quake II is a bitch on linux for me

psh... ubuntu is bloated garbage... granted it is crazy easy if you cant get something working on ubuntu, you dont want to even try more advanced distros...

i wanted something really minimalistic and snappy instant fast crunchbang is built off of debian the same as ubuntu but the way its built is meant to be as small as possible...

i got most of my games running just fine in ubuntu back when i used it... was playing cpma pickups from ubuntu too, and i played through the entire doom3 game in ubuntu

HOWEVER for some reason doom3 didnt compile right so it crashes on start up... and quake2 wont even compile... and so i havent even wanted to touch any other game :/
