I don\'t know that much C++. But I\'m pretty good at debugging things.

I did pull the latest CVS code, following the instruction on the web page you gave. But I could not compile the src. I ran jam and got the following error message:

...found 59 target(s)...
...updating 17 target(s)...
LinkApplication psserver
g++: ./out/linuxx86/debug/src/common/net/libpsnet.a: No such file or directory
g++: ./out/linuxx86/debug/src/common/engine/libpsengine.a: No such file or directory
( more files not found errors )

Funny thing is, I didn\'t see jam trying to compile libpsnet.a, so of course it wouldn\'t be able to link them...

Has anyone been able to do this?  I pull the cvs source, set env variables,

./configure --disable-jamtest --enable-debug
jam

got error messages, no luck so far.

I have been able to compile to molecular blue release though...

Hi,

    First I want to say the Planeshift project looks great. I was very
impressed by the quality of artwork in Planeshift. The network code
and a gui client/server have been finished. A lot have already been
done for this really cool open source project.

     Forgive me if I\'m posting in the wrong place, I am looking for
help setting up my local machine for Planeshift.

    I want to contribute to the Planeshift project, however, from
reading the main site, I know there\'s no chance I\'d qualify to be a
developer. But, since I am a working programmer, I know I can at least
find and debug simple bugs in the code

   I downloaded the source and followed acraig\'s instruction (this
site http://www16.brinkster.com/acraig/planeshift/buildmb.html) from
this thread
http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=3933&boardid=17&styleid=3&sid=071d226fae29783c4c3127f979063791
. I did run into some issues.

1. I had a issue with the configure script, seems the mysql
installation was hardcoded instead of using the
$mysqlclient_prefix. Worked around

2. My version of mysql was different from the one used by the dev
team. I had to change the mysqlclient test code to get the configure
script to pass

3. I could not log into the local Planeshift server (probably) because
my map was out of date.

   I believe many of the issues I had was more or less something wrong
on my end. So what I like to find out is how I can setup my local
environment correctly. Also, if I find what I believe is a bug, how do
I verify it\'s not just something wrong on my end before submitting the
bug to the bug tracker. And if I was able to fix a bug, what\'s the
best way of submitting the patch.

   And happy new years everybody! Hope I can help contribute to Planeshift.
