I checked the controls.txt and everything seems to be in order.

Well it is a somewhat exotic keyboard "Sun Type 7 Unix" keyboard. But it works fine in every other game, I don't know why Egoboo would be different.
As for the file I'll try to look into it some time.

Nope, they are still messed up even when I unplug.

rev1215
When I use the up or left key the character moves in the opposite direction. It works fine on my gamepad though.
I checked the control options and they seem to be all mapped correctly (up = up_key, left = left_key, etc....).

Some signal trapping on POSIX systems would be nice, it currently will only respond to kill. This would be really useful to use ^C (Control+C) to close it from a shell. And should allow the use SIGTERM to close it when it hangs.

Yay! I got it working now! But now I have that same problem with modules.

Any useful debug flags I can turn on to investigate?

I was told it is broken on Linux right now. I have the same problem, and it seems many people are having this problem.

Ah welcome to the club! It seems most (all?) Linux users are having that problem at the moment. SDL is somehow not setting a video mode Linux likes. We still haven't figured out what this is! Well the whole reason I compiled it was because the version in the repos has this studdering. It's like pla...

Ok, when I try to run it I get: Initializing filesystem services...

both, usually. But apparently you have the right header since egoboo_vfs.c compiled correctly, but not the library... I'm pretty sure it only looks in /usr/lib but you should be able to add more places to look by adding -L(location) to LD_FLAGS before it says -lphysfs I had to compile and install P...

Does it need the library or the header or both? And where does it look for them?

Ok I've made a little progress. When I do mkdir lib under enet it satisfies it and lets me make libenet.a. So then I went back to 2.6.x and try make I get: egoboo_vfs.o: In function `vfs_add_mount_point': egoboo_vfs.c:(.text+0x2335): undefined reference to `PHYSFS_mount' collect2: ld returned 1 exit...

for some odd reason you have to cd to enet and then make there for it to work, dunno why And then we get this: gcc -Os -Iinclude -c -o host.o host.c gcc -Os -Iinclude -c -o list.o list.c gcc -Os -Iinclude -c -o memory.o memory.c gcc -Os -Iinclude -c -o packet.o packet.c gcc -Os -Iinclude -c -o peer...

Of course now I get: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.4/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lenet collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [egoboo-2.x] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `~/src/egoboo/branches/2.6.x/game' make: *** [egoboo] Error 2 When I try make all from /...
