Can't compile under opensuse 11.2 64-bit

[ns89]

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 playing with a 1hz strobe light making it unplayable. I think it reports itself as 1.7.4svn. So I figured maybe the latest version would fix it.

Maybe... but the latest version also seems to have other issues. Working on improving it at the moment... but there is so much to do!

Ah now that's conforting, I thought we were only few to get this . Btw it seems most of people having that problem use 64bit linux (me included)

Memory issues... Egoboo has a lot of them.

i so much want to play egoboo now

Any useful debug flags I can turn on to investigate?

[Zefz]

I'm not sure how useful that is. Most debug flags are for debugging ingame issues while it seems on linux the problem is the initialization of SDL which is done at program start.

Here are the debug flags for Egoboo (#undef means simply they are disabled):

Code: Select all

// Some macro switches
#undef  OLD_CAMERA_MODE       ///< Use the old camera style
