Cannot create output file "../../../source/test_root.cpp"

[M0rF3uS]

As in the subject, i'm trying to compile 0ad on a linux box, debian squeeze, when i launch make after some minutes it blocks saying message:

Cannot create output file "../../../source/test_root.cpp"

here the final log when the error comes up

Hmm, not quite sure what causes that.

Could you try changing build/bin/cxxtestgen.pl line 302 from

	open OUTPUT_FILE,">$output" or die("Cannot create output file \"$output\"\n");

to

	open OUTPUT_FILE,">$output" or die("Cannot create output file \"$output\": $!\n");

and then run it again and see what the error message is?

[M0rF3uS]

now the error is:

Cannot create output file "../../../source/test_root.cpp": Permission denied

i think that's better if you send the error message into the compilation process, like now, it's more debuggable

now i changed the permissions to that file i'll update you for further details later.

thank you a lot.

Ok, now i'm able to compile and to launch the game, i cannot test the gameplay because in this moment i'm at work later i'll do some tests. When i launch pyrogenesys_dbg i receive this backtrack, the game starts but i don't know if this can give some troubles.

Glad it's working . I've updated cxxtestgen.pl in SVN to include the extra error detail.

You get that warning because you don't have S3TC (texture compression) support enabled - the easiest solution is to run 'driconf' and turn on the "Enable S3TC ..." option, which should fix it. (We do need to make this warning message a bit friendlier )

[M0rF3uS]

i've enabled that feature but i'm still getting that error, probably because the laptop i'm using is made for working not for playing lol

this evening i'll compile 0ad on my private ubuntu box that's more performance...
