Hmm... this thread is getting cluttered with people trying to build the source for windows, linux, mac, ... I propose using a section in the AGS wiki to coördinate this stuff, rather than lots of people setting up their own project site.

This is only coordination attempt I have seen so far. But is there more project site than svn.adventuregamestudio.co.uk and https://gitorious.org/ags ? I think two is not yet fatal at all. And I hope official ('blessed') codebase will move to gitorious as well.

RedDwarf, what is your target and plans? I can see you have removed almp3 and added some gstreamer -stuff on your branches. Bero, you started cmake-clone for easy building (under Linux), and you have wrote about 64bit systems. Everybody else can also answer: "What is your goal? Short term all long term". I haven't see new commits on https://svn.adventuregamestudio.co.uk:7743/svn/ags/trunk/ nor any sings that 'community effort will be merged to it'. I think they should be merged and I think there should be some plan (or hope) that they will be merged.

  if (gfxDriver->UsesMemoryBackBuffer())  // make sure all borders are cleared
    gfxDriver->ClearRectangle(0, 0, final_scrn_wid - 1, final_scrn_hit - 1, NULL);

With this modification game (Kq3Redux) is not segfaultting on ARM, but it just ends. Debugger says: Program exited with code 0133.

You could also look at the backtrace of all the threads (that one isn't the main one) and search for the quit call (which will contain the message explaining why it was called).

Maybe that ARM 'port' should wait till all big know issues are solved e.g. 64bit Linux works flawlessly. Maybe some old fancy dependencies should also be thrown away (like libcda).

JJS, thanks for PSP-patch. It doesn't change user experience, but now it does not silently die, but it is Segmentation Fault always.

I'm not sure about optimization flags, I'm currently trying with Debug release.

I got first backtrace, which seems almost useless to me:

(None of those three Engine/ files were touched by psp-patch)

Allegro is not widely used on Maemo, but at least very simple test is working: http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=ExampleExHello

I tested AGS on Linux-ARM. I got it compiled and it can be started, but it is not really working yet.

I collected every build warnings to: https://gitorious.org/ags/pages/StateOfArmSupport

Currently I know only one game, which is working with AGS-3.21: Kings Quest III Redux. Can you suggest some more test cases?

This is what I get in terminal:
./ags Kq3Redux.exe

Code: ags

Adventure Creator v3.21 Interpreter
Copyright (c) 1999-2001 Chris Jones

[Problem: ALSA: snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(pcm_handle, hwparams, format) : Invalid argument]

On the screen I get Game's logo, but after half a second it will be messed (see: http://imageshack.us/f/801/screenshot2011051815332.png ). Then nothing happens until I press key or mouse and then it dies silently.

So there are issues with (at least) audio and graphics, but are some of them fatal (why it shutdowns)?

I tried compile Editor under Ubuntu (10.10) using mono.
There were some trivial issues* I fixed and pushed my git clone.

Compiling stops on error "Compiler crashed with code: 1"
I do not know how to proceed with it.

*Fixed:
- error CS1587: XML (error about comments)
- "value never used"-warnings are treated as error
- used small d, but filename has capital D.

-
Steps to reproduce
sudo apt-get install mono-xbuild mono-2.0-devel libmono-winforms*

git clone git://gitorious.org/~aaporantalainen/ags/aaporantalainens-ags.git ags
cd ags/Editor
xbuild AGS.Editor.NoNative.sln

I tested under Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick).

cmake gives "package allegro not found"? But it doesn't brake and make will also pass.

I have also problems with Ubuntu. I first tried under 64 bit, but now I'm trying with 32 bit.

I copied instructions from forum to the wiki:
https://gitorious.org/ags/pages/HowToBuild#Building+under+Ubuntu
I fixed one non-printing character and ln -s libalfont.so.2.0.9. (Are these correct now?)


My problem is cmake is not founding alfont and libcda. Is there still some details missing in instructions?

Hi I'm interested in to get AGS compiled and working under (64-bit) Ubuntu.

I got Bero's ags-20110501-linux.tar.xz compiled (with add_definitions(-m32) ) but not linked yet. Problem is with libcda and libalfont, thanks Bero for links, I got them both compiled but not installed (they do not use 'make install' and I do not know what to do.

Bero, are you familiar with git and gitorious? Your patches are good, but it would be difficult to handle and use them when they scatter around forum. I haven't yet see any plans for merging them to the svn, so maybe they should be collected one place just now.
