Getting Crystal Space up and running.

[Rowanas]

I'm working on a project using crystal space, and after many problems, got it to work. Now it says that the C compiler can't be found in the CS folder, fair enough. Do I have to move the C compiler over to the CS folder, or is there a command I could use (in Terminal) that would allow me to be sure that it would look in the correct place every time I try to compile CS?

P.S. Using html, is there anything that will tell the computer to go up to the top, rather than just one level (../users/etc)?

I've searched everywhere, can't find these things. maybe I missed them.

It's probably best to ask about crystalspace issues on their IRC channel on freenode #crystalspace.

Some folks on #planeshift-build have limited experience with it also.

To see how PS compiles and uses it - check the compiling guide.

I'm guessing you are using a linux distribution, and the "./configure" step output something like "don't know how to create c++ executables"?

If the error is similar, you need to install development tools on your system; for example with ubuntu the command is something like "apt-get build-essential". As Mord said, following the compile guide up to and including the crystalspace part should work (select your distro in the dropdown box at the top if possible); if that fails, I idle in the irc channels mentioned.
