Troubleshooting / Re: Problems launching openxcom after compiling on Ubuntu

When you are right, you are right

Great work figuring out my problem with the debugging info!

Once the "const" was in place the game output the "failed to load palette" error - funny thing how Linux is often quite picky with what it will work with

I had mistakenly assumed that the shell script you made for me would automagically go through sub-directories - lesson learnt I guess... anyways, I cleaned up the lower-case mess and openxcom immediately launched.

It works like a charm

Great work - and thanks for the help figuring out my problem!

Shell script worked like a charm, but the change didn't seem to make much of a difference...

I get the exact same message as before when attempting to launch the game

I was wondering whether it makes a difference that i run Ubuntu x86_64?

Is it possible to activate a debug-mode that prints more usable info to the terminal?

Thanks for the input SupSuper

There does not seem to be and .txt files in my openxcom folder other than the README.txt i got from svn.

I have made sure several times over that I created the correct directory for the original game files. I've made a list - please point out if I have misunderstood directory placement.

I think my copy has use UFO v1.4 patch installed - will openxcom use any version of the game? I assume that few if any of the changes in the UFO patches were content related, so the version should not make too much of a difference?

Troubleshooting / [SOLVED] Problems launching openxcom after compiling on Ubuntu

« on: August 06, 2010, 02:16:26 pm »

Hey guys - been following progress on the sideline for a while and finally decided to have a shot at running openxcom on my ubuntu box

I'm having problems launching openxcom after installing dependencies, grabbing from svn and running make.

I get the following in my terminal:

Code: [Select]

~/openxcom/trunk$ ./openxcom
Loading resources...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'char const*'
Aborted

I am by no means experienced with using svn or compiling stuff on my own, so I hope you can help me figure out if this is a trivial problem or something system related and more difficult to troubleshoot...
