Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / if you're missing libXxf86vm.so.1
« on: October 05, 2003, 05:36:16 am »
If libXxf86vm.so.1 does not exist on your system (but if a libXxf86vm.a does exist) there is an easy way to create a .so from the .a library. This should work for a debian distro, not so sure if others will need to tweak. This is a pretty common thing too, since I think libXxf86vm.so.1 is on redhat systems but not on most others.
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ar x libXxf86vm.a
g++ -shared -o libXxf86vm.so.1 XF86VMode.o
ln -s libXxf86vm.so.1 /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1
Hope this helps, it fixed my problem.
