Hi Chrisp,
 
That is a very good news indeed, however I am quite troubled&nb= sp;about hearing that you have to tweak OGRE code to make it work in=  Linux. That is because there are several persons working/devel= oping with OGRE in linux. If you have to tweak too much, then y= ou should ask in the OGRE forums arround there (www.ogre3d.org), cause I dont think that tweaking anything w= ould be necesary.
 
On the other side, I would like to know what part of the Xenocide so= urce has been changed so I can crosscheck it and commit the source to the= CVS. Send me a patch, and be careful that some libraries had change a lo= t in the latest 10 days (mostly Network Library). You can do that from yo= ur CVS client and post it in the Xenocide Sourceforge patch area (I will = be informed by Sourceforge in like 10 minutes after you do that).
 
About Linux support, well we already have a nice Rendering engine wo= rking in Linux (OGRE), so crossplatform is not that much away, cause Xeno= cide source was developed with portability in mind. About supported = compiler, the actual GCC stable version (3.3.2??) sounds like a good trad= eoff, any other desition that you need that I take about platform sp= ecific stuff, just drop it as always.

I sent this message last week, but it didn't seem to get through due= to my
email problems (I was wondering why there was no response :P ). = ; Let me
know your thougths..  -chrisp
 
 
Some good news for those of us interested in developing
and compiling Xenocide in Linux.
 
After a fair amount of effort, I was able to successfully build and<= /DIV>
install Ogre on my Linux machine using GCC 3.3.2.  There w= ere several
required libraries that need to be installed, and some of them requi= red a
little tweaking of the source code to compile in Linux.  T= he Ogre source
also involved some source tweaking.  I have also made some= (relatively
minor) changes to the utility libraries.
 
With this done, I was able to compile the xenoengine framework and s= ome
of intermediate code (haven't tried it all) in Linux without any pro= blems.
(WOOHOO!)
 
If there is interest, I can upload the altered Ogre and required lib= raries
source to the ftp site.  If we decide to develop in parall= el (which I
think we should), there are a number of decisions that would need to= be made
regarding standard tools we use to build in Linux.  I thin= k allowing
people to develop in Linux would bring in a great deal of help, sinc= e
Linux is obviously the open source platform of choice.  Al= so, developing
in Linux would make a Mac port that much easier.  Of cours= e this shouldn't
come at the sacrifice of Windows.  At this point, it seems= like code
developed in Linux should have no problem compiling in Windows. = ; It
shouldn't slow down development.  In fact, I think it woul= d greatly
increase it.
