Cant compile TuxKart CVS. Give out error, on make.
 

I got the CVS of TuxKart from here... http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=4647

Do this at command line

1. cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tuxkart login (press enter when asked for login password)
2. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tuxkart co tuxkart

I changed directory to "tuxkart" and I did a ./configure then make, but when I did make, I got this...

sh-2.05b$ make

Im guessing its a problem with my SDL? But its the newest version?! I also have SDL_ttf SDL_mixer SDL_devel and many more. Do I have to link something?

try getting one of the stable versions if you can. looks like theres a syntax error in the code somewhere.

try putting the SDL library PATH in your system $PATH


maybe it's having problems finding it........((shrug shoulders))

No, he doesn't have the headers for SDL_ttf installed. Get them from www.libsdl.org.

I tried rpm2tgz an rpm file for Slackware 10, but it didn't work. I thought I already had SDL_ttf, I got it from linuxpackages.(org, or com?). Anyways, I guess once I get access to my computer again, I'll just try compiling from source.

Second, I dont want the stable version, because I already have it. Its--sry to say it steve--gay. But I've seen screenshots of what they are doing in the CVS, and so I tried to get it. Maybe I'll send a mail to SteveBaker see if he replys.

Hey installing SDL_ttf, and the other one worked. Apparently the ones at linuxpackages didn't put the path in right like 320mb said? Well anyways it works, and it looks pretty awsome. Im not joking, just a lot of problems, but its actualy playable, unlike TuxAQFH.
