Open Feedback / Re: Linux compilation report

Interesting indeed.

I am an old Linux user (something you should have guessed because I am playing Xcom ).
I am always using the 3 magic steps : configure, make, make install
But I really need to take a look at the cmake way, thank you to pointing it.

Open Feedback / Linux compilation report

« on: April 29, 2015, 09:58:39 am »

Hi there,

First of all, thank you for your hard work !
I spent hours/days on this game when I was younger, it is nice to see it still alive

I compiled the git sources (git clone made yesterday 28/04/2015) and have the following remarks :

configure :
configure script is not checking for the existence of : libboost development files.
(libboost-dev in Debian)

I got problems with :
manpage : it requires xmlto. But when trying to install it from my Debian Jessie, aptitude ask me if I really want to download 734Mo of packages leading to 1.2Go space on disk.
Don't you think it is a little too much for just the openxcom manpages ? (I prefered the --without-man configure's paramater)
doxygen : same as manpage, too much data to download and install for just "docs" (--without-docs option has been preferred)

At last, I got one warning during the compilation time :
  CXX      src/Geoscape/openxcom-MissionDetectedState.o
src/Engine/Options.cpp: In function ‘void OpenXcom::Options::create()’:
src/Engine/Options.cpp:57:6: note: variable tracking size limit exceeded with -fvar-tracking-assignments, retrying without
 void create()
      ^

Nothing too annoying then but reporting anyway to bring my little part to the project

Thank you again and keep up the good work !
