Title: Compiled CS from CVS, but no sound!
Post by: Spyder22 on January 15, 2005, 01:54:01 am

I\'m trying to build PlaneShift from CVS for Gentoo LInux.  I have built the cal3d library with no problems, but when I tried to build CS the compile froze on: \"C++ ./out/linuxx86/debug/plugins/cscript/cspython/cs_pyth.o\" so I took python support out of the jamconfig file and everything compiled fine.  I tested CS and the graphics worked great, but there was no sound, I got:

Code: [Select]

linux CS # ./walktest -relight
crystalspace.maploader: Could not get sound driver
Total level load time: 3.581 seconds
could it be because I took out support for python?

Building the python stuff needs just a lot of time, it doesn\'t freeze. But since it is not used anyway you can safely remove it.
And about the sound driver, do the files ossdrv.so/alsadrv.so exist? Seems like they weren\'t built.

yep i have both alsadrv.csplugin/alsadrv.so and ossdrv.csplugin/ossdrv.so.  Both alsa and oss work in other programs.  can I test them in any other way?
When you say python takes longer to build, how much longer do you mean? Most files compiled in <1m, but when it was on the python file I got CONSTANT harddrive thrashing for about an HOUR. (i just killed it eventually)

Well, the compilation depends on your computer. But generally it takes up to 10x longer than other files on my computer. And as I mentioned before, the python stuff is not used in PS, so you can leave it out. And about the sound issues... hmmm... I\'m not really sure how to test it... other than running PS ;) But you could try to run walktest with -verbose, maybe it will give some hints what\'s wrong.
