Linux compilation problem with missing libpaws.a library

[ennservogt]

Hi,
I have used the following guide (http://platyna.xpam.de/planeshift/slack-built-howto.txt) to compile PS from CVS. I have done everything step by step, but I think I have made something wrong in step 5. I checked out the \"planeshift\" directory from CVS and then copied it\'s  content to the directory in which I  wanted to install the game. CEL and CS were allready present in my /usr/local/games/planeshift directory.

Well, the problem is, that the compilation process skips some important modules like the client executables with the notice \"...skipped psclient for lack of libpaws.a...\".

So is there anything I have forgotten or misunderstood, because actually there is a directory in the CVS tree above the \"planeshift\" directory called \"PAWS\". But I have no clue what to do with it.


thanks in advance

PAWS (PlaneShift Window System) is in /cvsroot/planeshift/src/paws, NOT the module named PAWS (That\'s for external use in other projects)

The lack of libpaws.a is because it failed to compile it, check your messages of compilation errors

I have examinded my logfiles and found the following problems:

...skipped libpaws.a for lack of libpaws.a(pawsobjectview.o)...
C++ ./out/linuxx86/debug/src/common/effects/pseffectobjsound.o

So pawsobjective.o can\'t be built and therefore libpaws also can\'t be compiled. The question is why...

Here is a detailed log of the error message dealing with the build process of pawsobjectview.o

Hi,

I had the same problem....

Solution found here ...

In your file ../planeshift/src/common/paws/pawsobjectview.cpp file uncomment the following code line:

light->SetAttenuation( CS_ATTN_NONE );

You have to delete or uncomment this line two times. Then rebuild planeshift and report if you were successfull.

This solves the compile error, but it still gives out some warnings....

When I had such error upgrading CS and CEL helped.

Regards.
