Mono-related question... Displaying 1-20 of 27 total.

Having read that Verge can be compiled on GNU/Linux operating systems, I have to ask one important thing: Are there any complications running the .NET-reliant app(s) with Mono, or does it run just as well? If anyone has any experience (by which I mean 'has had problems') with this, it would help me A LOT to know (as I just learned the fixes to the problems I had back on Ubuntu, which has become my fave OS/distribution).
FAILING THAT, I can always stay on my XP install (being that Vista and my modem don't eye to eye on whether or not I should be allowed on the internet... lol).
Thanks ^_^

VERGE itself will run. I don't think MapEd will.

Thanks, that saved me the trouble of finding out myself, big time.

Actually I think Maped uses Mono now. I have yet to try this out though.
Anyway, if you wanna compile Verge on Ubuntu, just get all the build essentials (gcc, g++, make, etc.) and the SDL development package (which comes with sdl-config) using apt-get. Other than that, just type "make" in the "trunk/linux/" folder of the SVN to compile. Then use "./verge3" to run verge.

How exactly do you get the source from the SVN, though?
I need to try this myself :D

I was going to ask that, but you beat me to it. LOL
Yeah, I kinda need to know where to get this source...

The "where" is:
http://www.verge-rpg.com/svn/verge3/
Username: anonymous
Password: anonymous
My question is "how". I have a feeling that individually downloading everything by http probably isn't how this is supposed to work :)

On Linux, use apt-get (or whatever your package manager is -- I'm running under Ubuntu) to install svn. Then when you've used "cd" (possibly also "mkdir") to get to a folder you want to checkout the SVN, you type "svn checkout http://www.verge-rpg.com/svn/verge3/" and it'll prompt you for a username and password (you may need to hit enter once to clear the username field which I think it autofills with your Linux profile username).
I haven't found anything like TortoiseSVN for Linux, which is kind of a downer, since it'd be really convenient to have the ability to do SVN commands on the Desktop instead of through the terminal.
Yeah, this is sort of why I think Linux is still a pain in the butt. Everything is basically terminal work. That said, you only need to checkout once probably, so it's not a big fuss.
On Windows, you can install TortoiseSVN to checkout the repository and need Visual Studio 2005 Express or better + Windows SDK + DirectX SDK to compile. Then right click and go to "SVN Checkout" when in a folder you want to checkout to. The login stuff is pretty straightforward, and then it'll download everything from the server onto your drive.

I'm basically on Linux because I'm skint & my PC is broken. Trying to make the best of it, and a working VERGE will aid me considerably in that goal.
Just upgraded to an install of the lightly customised ubuntu distro EEEbuntu running off an 120GB USB HD, so your instructions _should_ work perfectly.

As for me, I'm on Linux because I love it, and if I can get VERGE running on it, all the better. ^_^
I was kind of afraid I was restricted to things like Sphere (not that that is entirely horrible), OHRRPGCE (THAT is, though, imho), and the like... well, I'm going to give this a try now. Thanks!

Resident/Green Dreams, how is everything going with the "get a linux version built" thing?
It should prove to be amazingly similar to the mac version, but for the network library. I'd suggest stubbing that out to get a beta out the door.

Well, as for me, some family issues have been keeping me busy, but I'll get to that as soon as everything finally balances out.
Actually, this would be the first thing I've ever compiled, so the process is a bit of a mystery to me right now... lol (I installed Subversion, because I think that was important... I'm such a newb to this... lol)

Didn't have an internet connection for a few days there...
I got fairly far into the build process, but it failed with a lot of PNG related errors that I _think_ are Zlib related, so I assume that's another lib I'll have to reinstall before I try another build.

Well, I'm stumped. This is from the second or so compile, so this may be missing important warnings. Maybe I'm building against the wrong version of zlib or something.

I'll look into it.

Okay, this is just weird. It's a problem with strcasecmp somehow triggering exceptions, but if I replace that with an inline call to strcmp it works (minus case sensitive compares though ;_;)
Argh.

Fixed. Update your SVN by typing "svn update", and it should compile in Linux now, if you're still interested.

You are awesome. I'll give it a bash as soon as I can and let you know how it goes.

If it works, the last line of the make command shouldn't say "Error". The last warning message I think I got was something like "tmpnam is dangerous" or similar. Then after that you should be able to run Verge! :D

That is indeed the last error I see, and a brand new verge3 file appears in the linux directory, marked as an executable. Huzzah
Of course, then I copy it into a verge game folder (demon lord adventure 1, fact fans), and attempt to run it from the console and get "bash: verge3: command not found". Bollocks.
Still, the major problem of actually compiling VERGE appears to be done and dusted, so well done to you, sir.

With the bash terminal, you can't omit "./" in that command for some stupid reason. If you want a program in the current folder to be run (rather than something in... I think your /usr/bin/ folder), you need to type "./verge3" not "verge3". Also, make sure I'm spelling in proper case, it might be capital V (UNIX filesystems are picky about caps).
Also, if you don't need the on-the-fly log output, and can read v3.log instead, you might as well just double click the executable in the nautilus. (Note that popup messages don't appear on Linux, that's because I don't know GTK+ or whatever lameness to open other windows -- And SDL only allows the main game window)
