[Plib-users] PLIB games

[Steve W. <st...@sh...>]

Apologies if this is not the proper place for this, but I'm not aware of a better one.
I finally got around to trying the updated versions of TuxKart and Tux_AQFH.

Tux_AQFH was missing install.sh and mkinstalldirs, which I copied from TuxKart.
I had to modify all of the makefiles, to change $(top_srcdir)/../mkinstalldirs to 
$(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs (just like it is in TuxKart).  Three files that were in a 
previous version (level14.ac, tree.rgb, and tux.mod) are not in the latest one.  Are 
they no longer used, or was this a mistake?

For TuxKart, I had to add #include <sys/socket.h> to guNet.cxx.  The file 
mfarmer.mod that was in a previous version is no longer included - obsolete, or 
mistakenly omitted?

I also had to add -lglut to the makefiles for both games; I guess this is some error 
in the configure script?

Anyway, I got both games built.  However, I couldn't get either one to work 
correctly.  In TuxKart, when I press the Start button, it just sits there on the same 
screen, until I kill it.  In Tux_AQFH, when I press the Space bar, the menu comes 
up, and then it is similarly hung.  I compiled both of these with Mesa 3.5, perhaps 
that is the problem?  I've been meaning to revert to Mesa 3.4.2, since 3.5 doesn't 
seem quite "polished" yet.
