On older systems, there are many other game makers... go for gold. When the time comes, compile for 128-bit.
Before you tag and go to 3, can you take a tiny look at Linux? My latest succesful build was Nov 29. And

Code: [Select]
obj/msphere/main.o: In function `main':
main.c:(.text+0x3ce): undefined reference to `al_set_new_window_title'
obj/msphere/main.o: In function `on_duk_fatal':
main.c:(.text+0x1e32): undefined reference to `al_set_clipboard_text'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [obj/msphere/msphere] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

You need Allegro 5.1.12 for the current builds.  If you're using Ubuntu there are PPA packages available, otherwise you'll have to compile it yourself.

Basically whenever you get undefined references to a function starting with al_, you need to update Allegro.

Is there a way to make the build system spew out that bit of information?

Also, I don't mind you dropping the 32-bit Windows version too much. Poor Windows XP users though... :P

Actually does minisphere even run on WinXP?  Defiant had issues a while back, I think I fixed it but I don't have an XP machine to test on.

I'm going to work on improving the documentation for minisphere 3.0.  Developer documentation is still pretty scant right now because I've been lazy.  I need to get off my duff for 3.0. :P

git tag just shows 5.1.11 (from git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/alleg/allegro) will wait for 5.1.12 because my HEAD is not compiling at the moment.

Try cloning from https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5 instead.  They switched to GitHub recently so I don't think the SourceForge repo is maintained anymore.

Wow, quick, yes git clone https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5.git
has a 5.1.12.0 tag...

Sorry for asking, in another thread I stated:

Allegro "make" only plays nice if I disable FFMPEG and CG

.... but I can not remember how I did that (and it is not in my howto.txt I always write what I do...)

Did you try Allegro's cmake?

When running for the second time I get

Code: [Select]
-- Allowing GCC/Clang to use SSE instructions
S3TC locking disabled. You will not be able to load/save pre-compressed textures with OpenGL.
-- Could NOT find OPENSL (missing:  OPENSL_INCLUDE_DIR OPENSL_LIBRARY) 
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/fbnil/MiniSphere/allegro5/Build

But I do not remember requiring that last time. Do you mean editing AllegroFindFFMPEG.cmake there remove FFMPEG... and... yes... now it compiles, and I can make install. hmm... did not recall this. Same error in minisphere though. Will check tomorrow, last time, I had to purge the previous Allegro version before it started working (too late now, need Zzzz)

If Allegro cmake can't find FFMPEG it should just disable the video component (or at least that's how it's supposed to work).  This is fine since minisphere doesn't use that part.  You should be in the clear.

To everyone else: I'm in the process of writing a full install guide for minisphere.  This should hopefully alleviate some of the issues seen in the past for people building minisphere on non-Windows platforms.

Well, I could probably test this soon... Just need to shrink my Linux partition on this old PC and install XP on it. Depending on the last version that works, you could still offer that as the last 32-bit version download for those who really are stuck on 32-bit Windows. :)

I haven't got it to work yet on my XP machine. Doesn't crash, just loads up a dialog and then exits, can't see the error before it disappears.

Huh, that's weird.  Perhaps I'll try setting up a VM with XP to try to diagnose it.
