Thanks quantumstate, I'd read some post about this kind of problem, thanks aga. in for your answer. I'll try to install the game under Windows 7. crissc

Hello everyone, Last year ! I discovered by chance/by accident the game 0ad. I've had several problems to install it, but with your help I managed it ! I've built this game onto two different laptops, and with both I have the same symptoms, I have a jerked game play, the mouse is moving slowly, it's really difficult to be precise while clicking, because the mouse "jumps" from place to place rather than a fluid moving. I first thought it was a problem due to my material, the first install was done on a two years old eepc. So I tried the game on a newest laptop, a HP DV6-6165sf, Processor : 4x AMD A6-3410MX APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics, Memory : 7661MB (1254MB used), Operating System : Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.3. Hopefully we'll find any issue to solve this kind of problem 'cause the game isn't playable in this "state". Regards. crissc

Thanks Ykkrosh, About root I know, I didn't take care about it... Some feedback about my tryings ! IT WORKS ! Now I will try to understand all the procedures, either with svn, or by compiling all the soft (with 0ad-unix-build.tar.gz and 0ad-unix-data.tar.gz). Maybe I'm not good enough with my english to understand all the procedure(s) described. Now I'm also going to learn how to play 0ad. Oh, I've forgotten ! Mary Christmas !!!

hello, Ykkrosh, I changed libjpeg8-dev with libjpeg62-dev, everything seemed to be ok. As run this command: christophe/0ad/build/workspaces# svn co http://svn.wildfiregames.com/public/ps/trunk/ 0ad after a "long" time (several minutes), everything seemed also to be correct. But, when I run the next command, please see what happens: christophe-debian:/home/christophe/0ad/build/workspaces# ./update-workspaces.sh -j3 Updating bundled third-party dependencies... cd: 47: can't cd to ../../libraries/fcollada/src ERROR: FCollada build failed I've had a look at update-workspaces.sh, at line 47 : (cd ../../libraries/fcollada/src && make ${JOBS}) || die "FCollada build failed" then, a look here : /0ad/libraries# ls -la total 32 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 23 déc. 21:23 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 23 déc. 21:23 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 23 déc. 21:23 boost drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 23 déc. 21:23 cryptopp drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 23 déc. 21:23 opengl drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 23 déc. 21:23 sdl drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 23 déc. 21:28 .svn drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 23 déc. 21:23 wxwidgets there is no directory named fcollada Once again I don't know what to do ! And yet, no more evolution with Windows ! Anyway, Windows in bad...

He he, No problem, I'm used to have this kind of problems... Some feed back about 0ad. First of all, one of my computers works again without any problem. As for the second, I have no more wifi, so I first have to repair this and many other things... I tried again to install the dependencies, without libmozjs185-dev. There appears a conflict between libjpeg8-dev and libjpeg62-dev. libjpeg62-dev is a dependence needed by libsdl1.2-dev. libjpeg8-dev is a dependence also needed. Please note the message appearing as I try to install all dependencies (with a translation proposed beneath) : root@christophe-debian:/home/christophe# apt-get install subversion build-essential cmake libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libgamin-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libboost-dev libboost-signals-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libopenal-dev libalut-dev libvorbis-dev libogg-dev libxml2-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev zip libenet-dev Lecture des listes de paquets...

By the way, I also tried to install 0ad on a Windows 7 partition, but this message appeared (twice, because I tried two times at least !) : in a window named : NSIS Error Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download an damaged media. Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy. More information at: http://nsis.sf.net/NSIS-Error I'll have a look at the designed site... I've downloaded several times the soft to install, but without any good result ! By the way, I'm talking about this version of the soft 0ad-r10288-alpha-win32 (right now, I'm downloading this one : 0ad-r09530-alpha-win32, I'll see if it's better...). Hopefully I'm not darned with 0ad...

Ok, As I made a lot of stupid things on my computers, I have to rebuild my OS properly and try again to build this game. See you soon

I started a brand new install on an other computer, also with Debian Squeeze. The same problem appeared, it's not possible to install the packaging libmozjs185-dev ! So I found this : Linux packages search, I have downloaded this packages libmozjs185-dev_1.8.5-1.0.0-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb and tried to install it, but there were dependencies... So I have downloaded all dependencies, and dependencies of dependencies, and so on : multiarch-support_2.13-21_amd64.deb libnspr4_4.8.7-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb libmozjs185-1.0_1.8.5-1.0.0-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb some packages had to be uninstalled : libnspr4-0d (and there with, many other that I didn't notice like iceweasel !) and, and, and... and I had to install libnspr4-dev... and... libnspr4-dev depends on ... suspense ... libnspr4-0d I had to uninstall earlier... and... I get this kind of messages : libnspr4 : is in conflict with: libnspr4-0d (< 4.8.7) but 4.8.6-1 has to be installed and... THE SNAKE BEATS ITS OWN TAIL because, this is not to be forgotten : libmozjs185-dev depends on all these other packages. I really don't understand how to do, and I become afraid n the risk to "disturb" a lot my system !

Thanks for this issue quantumstate. I still have a problem with the packaging libmozjs185-dev ! I'll try to find it and download from any place I can find. It seems that this packaging is especially developed for Ubuntu but not for Debian. I think it's possible to find it, download and install it !

Hi, Let's keep on replying in english, so I can improve my knowledge ! I'll follow all steps to re-build everything ! I'll post all output appearing during the process The first problem to report is that libmozjs185-dev is not found while installing the dependencies, so I replace it by libmozjs-dev. But after this, many conflicts appear, I will need some time to make all the procedure. Is there a procedure to undo all what I done before to restart all from the beginning (as if nothing was done before) ? I'll come back...

Hello historic_bruno, I'm afraid I do not know how to post report and error logs ! I don't know how to get them ! During the building procedure I had to copy the directory libraries from the uncompressing dir used to uncompress 0ad-r10288-alpha-unix-build.tar.gz and 0ad-r10288-alpha-unix-data.tar.gz to the final 0ad dir (libraries wasn't created while the soft was built). Something else seems really strange, there are some files with extention .exe (like in MS Windows) ! pyrogenesis.exe is one of them. Thanks for your help crissc By the way, I'm french, and not really sure with my english !

Hi Glow, I'm in the same state, needing to build the game. I had some same problems with some dependencies unsatisfied ! In fact, I just installed manually all of them, and it worked well. But now, as I followed this at first, then these instructions (for Debian/Ubuntu) everything seemed to be good until I noticed that I was unable to test what I did because there is no test file in the directory /home/usr-name/0ad/binaries/system and moreover, I'm not abble at all to launch the game as shown in the instructions, because there is no such a file /home/christophe/0ad/binaries/system/pyrogenesis. I have no idea how to do now ! If some of you could help ! Thanks a lot. crissc
