Here's the project page:

http://web2.168180.vserver.de/index.php

Compilation readme says that SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image are necessary, so I installed those via Fink.

The next step is "make distclean", but running that in the Linux directory gives me

make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop.

Am I missing some libraries?

make distclean

If that is how the macro is actually named has nothing to do with libraries. Take a look at the Makefile in the directory you unpacked the source into. grep for "clean" and/or "dist".

OK just downloaded it...

When you run 'make distclean' it will fail because there is no Makefile, only a Makefile.in. You need to run './configure' to create a Makefile. Once the Makefile is created you can then run 'make distclean' again. However... this will also delete the Makefile so you have to run ./configure again!

Note: When I unpacked the daimonin_client_src-BETA3-0965a.tgz file the ~/daimoni/client/make/linux/configure file was not executeable. I had to 'chmod +x configure' before I could run the configure script by typing './configure'.

'make distclean' is just a way of clearing out the cruft from previous builds or attempts at builds. It puts the source tree into a known basic state. Of course you will have to run './configure' again. Basically just ignore the error from 'make distclean' and proceed to the other steps.

Hope that helps.

the package you are trying to build may not be seeing the libraries also. You may have to do something to the effect of

./configure --prefix="path to where fink installed those libraries"

this may or may not be applicable to your situation.

Ok I managed to get it to compile by using "./configure --build=powerpc-apple-bsd". NOW the problem is that I can't get the client to run. It starts up and gives me a "Daimonin SDL Client" window for about 3 seconds, then it crashes. This is the terminal error msg

utidjian, pwolfe1, did either of you get it to run?

Yes I got it to run in Linux... only difference in console messages from mine and yours was:

VideoInfo: windows manager? yes

So my guess is that you need a 'windows manager'.

Pretty dull game IMO.

Ah now I think I see you problem. Try:

make install
cd ../../../client-BETA3-0.965a
./daimonin

It needs to be run from the folder it installs to otherwise it doesn't know where to find the other files.

Everything up and running, thanks!
