VCMI for oneiric?

Damma · March 28, 2014, 7:31am

Hello!

In advance I want to thank you for this wonderful project!

Now for my question: I have ubuntu oneiric and wonder whether I can install vcmi on it? I checked the list of VCMI ubuntu packages, but oneiric is missing there.
Is it possible to install in anyway, or does VCMI not support older versions of ubuntu?

Thank you in advance!

Ivan · March 28, 2014, 8:46am

Sorry but no - current version (0.95) requires at least Ubuntu precise (12.04). You may try compiling from sources older release - 0.94 should work if you can install gcc-4.6.

Since we’d like to use (relatively) new libraries and compiler supporting old releases is not really possible - right now I prefer to keep latest Ubuntu LTS supported but this can be done only by disabling some new features like Launcher (requires at least Raring, 13.04).

And since there will be release of new LTS soon we won’t support current one (precise) for long either.

Damma · March 28, 2014, 9:18am

Thank you for a fast answer!
How unfortunare, since my netbook is optimized for oneiric and may not work well under the newer versions… I guess I’ll try to run wog in wine.

Macron1 · March 28, 2014, 2:36pm

WOG in wine is buggy, you better run windows-version of VCMI under Wine

Damma · March 28, 2014, 2:48pm

Hey, that’s a great idea! I’ll definitely try that out, do you happen to know any guides how to do that? Or maybe google will help

Damma · March 29, 2014, 7:47am

Ok so I upgraded to ubuntu precise and now I get similar errors!

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:saven-ivan/vcmi
sudo apt-get update

These work, I don’t get any errors.

But after sudo apt-get install vcmi, it gives me “unable to locate package vcmi”

Ivan · March 29, 2014, 12:44pm

That’s strange because ppa does contains vcmi packages for precise. So this should work assuming that you have precise & typical 32bit or 64bit system (aka i686 or amd64).

Can you run all 3 commands once more ant copy all output here?

Ivan · March 29, 2014, 3:18pm

Unfortunately Launchpad does not supports your architecture (ARM) so you’ll need to compile vcmi package from source yourself. If you wish I can write short guide on how to do this.

Damma · March 29, 2014, 3:32pm

How nice of you, please do! I really want to be able to play vcmi!

Ivan · March 30, 2014, 8:26pm

Ok, try this:
Create some temporary directory for some files, you can delete it after install
mkdir vcmibuild
cd vcmibuild

Install required packages. This may result in quite a big list:
sudo apt-get build-dep vcmi

Download vcmi source code:
sudo apt-get source vcmi

This will create directory named something like vcmi_0.95~precise3
cd

Run compilation. This may take quite a while (15-30 min, depending on hardware) and will need ~2 Gb of free space
dpkg-buildpackage -b

If everything is OK this should create .deb package which can be installed. Exact name may be different but should be similar to this:
sudo dpkg -i vcmi_0.95~precise3_armel.deb

if everything went OK vcmi should be installed now.

Damma · April 1, 2014, 8:13pm

Hi again,

Thank you for the detalied guide!
Everything worked just fine until compilation step:

user@user-laptop:~/vcmibuild$ dpkg-buildpackage -b
dpkg-buildpackage: export CFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin: vendor): -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security

dpkg-buildpackage: error: tail of debian/changelog gave error exit status 1

Ivan · April 2, 2014, 9:11am

You’ve missed this:

dpkg-buildpackage command must be executed from this directory while you’re executing it from vcmibuild directory

Damma · April 2, 2014, 5:02pm

Thanks for the advice, however when

user@user-laptop:~$ cd vcmi-0.95~precise3
bash: cd: vcmi-0.95~precise3: No such file or directory

EDIT: nevermind, I found out I needed to go into vcmibuild directory first.
Compiling right now, so excited

It started out good, but I got this error several times now:

How bad is it?

Ivan · April 3, 2014, 10:07am

That may be bad. Can you post more than that? I need around 50-100 lines to figure out what’s going on.

Why it can’t be that simple? That’s compiler bug that was fixed some time ago: gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48173

Try this workaround, although I’m not completely sure if it will work.

Open file debian/rules, check line #8 and replace
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
with this:
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
Instead of running “dpkg-buildpackage -b” run this command:
DEB_CXXFLAGS_SET="-O0" dpkg-buildpackage -b
Note: two symbols in quotes are letter “O” and zero, in this order. (they are just too similar in some fonts).

Manuel · April 4, 2014, 8:15pm

Ivan, would it be possible to keep compatibility with Debian Stable?

Ivan · April 5, 2014, 10:40am

Mostly - yes. Right now there is one problem with Debian - currently it does not have Qt5 in repositories so our launcher must be disabled for proper compilation. But main game is fully-functional.

After release of next Ubuntu LTS I’d like to remove support for gcc-4.6 but this won’t have any effect on Debian since current stable provides gcc-4.7 as default.

In fact when determining compilers and libraries that we should support I usually check available packages for both Debian and Ubuntu (other distros like Fedora, Arch or Gentoo are much faster with updates).
