| fixIt | I just did a full recompile and still no luck. I was thinking about it and the only difference from what I am doing now and what I did in the past is that I am trying to do it in a new file that I added HotKeyManager. Is there something else I would need to do possibly visual studio related to get the db options to recognize my class besides include dboptions? | 00:01 |

| y2E0 | g'd evening | 00:15 |
| y2E0 | FreeOrion numbered releases are available for download for Windows and OSX 10.6: | 00:17 |
| y2E0 | so no Linux support anymore? I really can't figure out how to run this thingy on Linux | 00:17 |

| fixIt | I can't speak about there being or not being newer releases for linux. But if you go to the forums and post, you can definetly get help setting up Free Orion on Linux. | 01:03 |
| y2E0 | does it sound lazy to admit I don't feel like register? | 01:25 |
| y2E0 | it just seems a little bit dead especially now with the stop of linux releases :C | 01:26 |
| fixIt | No judgement here. There are a good number of linux users on the forums though that could help, I personally use windows but eventually will be setting it up on linux once I get a new HD. | 01:36 |
| fixIt | I wouldn't say that linux builds are stopped, possibly the person who makes them has been busy...there always could be more in the future. | 01:37 |
| fixIt | Again I'm not 100% positive you should consult Geoff once he returns, but from the effort that I've seen put into the code to keep it platform independent. I doubt linux builds are done forever. | 01:38 |
| y2E0 | hmm cool. well if it comes down to plain compiling I wouldn't mind get my hands on some source and read my way through it. I don't mind to ask later. | 01:39 |
| fixIt | Cool. If you do decide to join the forum theres a whole section dedicated to helping troubleshoot compiling problems | 01:41 |
| GeofftheMedio | the guy who used to make the statically linked linux builds isn't doing so anymore, but the cmake build setup stuff is all usable on linux | 01:50 |
| y2E0 | i totally have to get started with it. but sounds like i could learn something | 01:52 |
| GeofftheMedio | what do you mean by "gets added to config.xml" ? | 01:52 |
| *** y2E0 is now known as yoshigreen | 01:55 | |
| *** yoshigreen is now known as y2E0 | 01:56 | |
| fixIt | adding a new entry in config.xml for storing the keys. so i want to store <hotkey><chatwindow>GG::GGK_KP_PLUS GG::MOD_KEY_CTRL</chatwindow></hotkey> | 01:56 |
| fixIt | Since I made a new class in the UI filter, HotKeyManager.h HotKeyManager.cpp idk if that may be a reason why dboptions doesnt see it or something? | 01:57 |
| GeofftheMedio | what you posted should be fine, I think... | 01:58 |
| GeofftheMedio | what do you mean by dboptions doesn't see it? | 01:58 |
| fixIt | Well for whatever reason my config.xml is not being modified, getting the added value. I've done a full clean and compile too. How does dboptions know what files to look through? Since the file I created is new and in a VS filter maybe that is messing something up? | 01:59 |
| GeofftheMedio | did you regenerate config.xml? | 02:00 |
| GeofftheMedio | vs filters do nothing | 02:00 |
| GeofftheMedio | they just organize the code in the gui | 02:00 |
| fixIt | How do i regenerate config.xml? I thought compiling made that happen automatically | 02:00 |
| GeofftheMedio | -g or open and close the options menu | 02:00 |
| GeofftheMedio | compiling doesn't know about config.xml | 02:01 |
| GeofftheMedio | freeorion generates it every time options are changed | 02:01 |
| fixIt | ahhh okay thanks I will try that, then I guess the times I got it to work I probably just opened up the options menu without knowing it. Thanks you | 02:01 |
| fixIt | Also is the guy who makes the statically linked linux builds active at all anymore? | 02:02 |
| GeofftheMedio | nop | 02:02 |
| GeofftheMedio | no | 02:02 |
| fixIt | Hmm okay I am planning on setting up linux for myself in a week or two once I get another hd. I am willing to try and give making the statically linked linux build myself at some point, but am not exactly linux competent so was hoping I could get some directions | 02:04 |
| GeofftheMedio | reportedly it was quite complicated | 02:04 |
| GeofftheMedio | I don't think you'll have much luck contacting kdroddn (the guy who was doing the static builds) | 02:05 |
| fixIt | I guess I'll have a challenge to look forward to then. Okay well I'll send him a message then with no expectations...and start reading my general linux and linux programming book lol | 02:07 |

| metulburr | im trying to run freeorion/freeorion and nothing happens | 10:30 |
| GeofftheMedio | describe "trying to run" ? | 10:31 |
| GeofftheMedio | what os, what version, run how? | 10:31 |
| metulburr | Xubuntu | 10:31 |
| metulburr | downloaded / attempted to install | 10:31 |
| GeofftheMedio | downloaded what? | 10:31 |
| metulburr | the source from sourceforge | 10:32 |
| GeofftheMedio | did you then compile the source? | 10:32 |
| metulburr | oh wait a minute its not the source code | 10:33 |
| metulburr | http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeorion/files/FreeOrion/FreeOrion%20Version%200.3.15/ | 10:33 |
| tpb | <http://ln-s.net/7l9:> (at sourceforge.net) | 10:33 |
| metulburr | i donwloaded the tarball | 10:33 |
| GeofftheMedio | what filename? | 10:33 |
| metulburr | FreeOrion-0.3.15-Linux-i386.tar.gz | 10:34 |
| metulburr | its the newest for linux on sourceforge | 10:35 |
| metulburr | is this the correct one? | 10:35 |
| GeofftheMedio | yes | 10:35 |
| GeofftheMedio | it's somewhat old though | 10:35 |
| GeofftheMedio | there might be problems running on up-to-date linux | 10:35 |
| metulburr | hmm | 10:36 |
| GeofftheMedio | http://freeorion.psitronic.de/README.txt | 10:37 |
| GeofftheMedio | have a look at that | 10:37 |
| GeofftheMedio | if it doesn't work, I probably can't help | 10:38 |
| metulburr | yeah i read that over and over when trying to install | 10:38 |
| GeofftheMedio | what happens when you attempt to follow those insructions? | 10:38 |
| metulburr | it installs but /usr/local/games/freeorion/freeorion does not run at all | 10:40 |
| GeofftheMedio | elaborate? | 10:40 |
| metulburr | ran setup script, and said it installed properly, but when I tried to run the executable it does nothing | 10:41 |
| GeofftheMedio | define "does nothing" ? | 10:41 |
| metulburr | click on it, sit wait, sit wait,sit wait, wait wait wait sit wait | 10:42 |
| metulburr | nothing | 10:42 |
| GeofftheMedio | try running from the command line | 10:42 |
| GeofftheMedio | see if there's some output | 10:42 |
| GeofftheMedio | might be helpful | 10:42 |
| metulburr | still nothing already tried that | 10:42 |
| GeofftheMedio | "nothing" isn't specific. does it return you to the command line, or leave the console window nonresponsive? | 10:44 |
| metulburr | metulburr@xubuntu:~/application$ ./freeorion | 10:46 |
| metulburr | ./freeorion: error while loading shared libraries: libCg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 10:46 |
| GeofftheMedio | see, that was the kind of output I was asking about... | 10:46 |
| GeofftheMedio | looks like you need to install the nvidia cg library to run that version | 10:47 |
| GeofftheMedio | unfortunate, as it's not actually needed to run the game, but apparently it's marked as a dependency in that build | 10:47 |
| metulburr | i ahve an ati card | 10:47 |
| GeofftheMedio | should still be possible to install it | 10:47 |
| GeofftheMedio | as I believe various people have used ATI cards to run that version | 10:47 |
| metulburr | i just installed nvidia-cg-toolkit, which is the only nvidia cg found in repo, and after that i got the error: ./freeorion: error while loading shared libraries: libCg.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 | 10:51 |
| GeofftheMedio | no idea... try googling it? | 10:51 |
| GeofftheMedio | might be a 64/32 bit issue | 10:54 |
| GeofftheMedio | my guess is you're on a 64 bit system and installed 64 bit cg toolkit? | 10:54 |
| GeofftheMedio | maybe the binary is expecting 32 bit? | 10:54 |
| metulburr | yeah i came across the same idea | 10:54 |
| metulburr | is there a way to get the 32 bit binaries for a 64? | 10:55 |
| GeofftheMedio | dunno... don't do any linux administration myself | 10:55 |
| GeofftheMedio | If you're able, it might be a better idea to try building the latest FreeOrion instead | 10:59 |
| GeofftheMedio | there is a cmake build system set up to facilitate this | 10:59 |
