Having a problem building Nestopia 1.4.0 from source

swalker23 · 10-02-2008, 01:12 PM

I'm trying to get Nestopia to work with Kubuntu 8.04 x64 from source by following these directions http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=200 and come across several errors when running make. From looking at the errors in the terminal I think I am missing sdl 1.2.12 or later from the directions and I don't know what that is. I tried to look for it in adept manager but no luck. (For future references how do I make a forum post with gray scroll box so pasting terminal results won't make the page long.)

Terminal:
Compiling source/linux/main.cpp...
/bin/sh: sdl-config: not found
/bin/sh: pkg-config: not found

(There were several more errors but couldn't paste due to forum limitations but you guys can probably get the gist of it)

If you need SDL, then it should just be the command

Code:

sudo apt-get SDL

I recommend also installing ALL SDL libraries. After installing SDL, do the same but for SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_gfx and SDL_ttf. Those are the main ones that I can think of. And yes, all the name I have typed are correct. Just remove the commas. If you choose to not use apt-get, then you can build from source [HTML]http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php[/HTML] However, I've never done this on any *buntu so I'm not sure of any problems. Hope this Helps!!

Thanks I wasn't able to install (sudo apt-get SDL) but I went to my adept manager and dl the libsdl files I didn't have install. That got rid of the /bin/sh: sdl-config: not found problem but not the /bin/sh: pkg-config: not found problem.

from what I read so far my /bin/sh: pkg-config: not found problem is somehow to do with gtk file/s. But so far I don't know which gtk files I need.

Edit: Got it working now I had to install libgtkmm-2.4-dev

I had the regular gtk installed didn't realize the dev files were needed as well. Thanks Soppy for the help.

well, pkg-config is a COMPLETELY different program. It's used to simplify the compiling process by letting you not hard-code libraries. Please make sure that the Universe Repository is enabled for your *buntu. Then a simple

Code:

sudo apt-get pkg-config

should be efficient. I'm not exactly familiar with the Ubuntu repository as I don't use that distro. If it's not there, then try the source. http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/rel...ig-0.23.tar.gz

If any problems, please ask.

I have it all working now Soppy, just trying to get the sound sorted out now. In sdl mode the sound is choppy but in alsa and oss I get no sound.

soppy · 10-02-2008, 06:22 PM

hmm...now i really don't know a lot about alsa or anything like that. sorry. all i can say is try using alsamixer to edit volumes or make sure you're even using alsa in the system config. other than that, maybe you just need to edit Nestopia config files. are you sure that you have SDL_mixer installed? that could be a problem too.

swalker23 · 10-02-2008, 06:31 PM

I just got it to work, I just enabled full duplex in sound hardware configurations.

Edit: Its some conflict between the system sounds and nestopia.
