HELP! My showeq fell down and can;t get up

[SEQnoob]

Ok I am a SHowEQ and Linux Noob.. <Start your jokes> . I am running a vanilla RH7.2 and with the Showeq setup for dummies was able to get it working. Now after this patch my Showeq is freaking out. Can some nice leet Linux guru type up a step-by-step for us idiots on how to fix our showeq puters so the gods will smile on us again. Thanks very much..

P.S I have read the announcments section.

Updating ShowEQ from cvs

[]# cd /seq/showeq
[]# make distclean
[]# cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq login
[]# cvs -z3 update
[]# cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq logout
[]# export CC=gcc3
[]# export CXX=g++3
[]# export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.2
[]# make -f Makefile.dist
[]# ./configure
[]# make
[]# make install

You should be good to go after this.

[SEQnoob]

Excellant! That worked perfect. Thanks for your time.

Err I misspoke. Its working but mobs seem to be warping and not moving smooth? Network maybe or program? any ideas?

[rencro]

Try this and see if warping stops

Right click on an open area of map display

Highlight SHOW

Make sure you have a check mark next to Animate Spawns

I went about correcting this another way but this seems to be the intended method..

Good luck..

# export CC=gcc3
# export CXX=g++3
# export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.2
# make -f Makefile.dist
# ./configure


you could simplify that to

# make -f Makefile.dist
# CC=gcc3 CXX=g++3 QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.2 ./configure
# make
# make install

[SEQnoob]

You guys are awesome! that worked...

[Mr. Suspicious]

NT, appologies

Any chance this thread could be sticky'd? Always nice to have something like this easy to find when you go to update and haven't done so for awhile. :)

i seem to have had less luck with this

[]# cd /seq/showeq
i finally found the directory that showeq was in so far so good
actually it is in usr/local/share/showeq/ if that makes any sense


[]# make distclean
i type in make distclean and i get the following, where did i allready go wrong on the first command lol... !


make: *** NO rule to make target `distclean'. Stop.


[]# cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq login

I continue on with it anyway and type in the above. I get asked for a password which I dont have... I tried anon .. it was refused


[]# cvs -z3 update
says directory invalid, well I quess I am toast by now anyway, can someone show me where my errrors are.. I am using RH 7.2 thanks..!



The rest below i will just type i assume..


[]# cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq logout
[]# export CC=gcc3
[]# export CXX=g++3
[]# export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.2
[]# make -f Makefile.dist
[]# ./configure
[]# make
[]# make install

I continue on with it anyway and type in the above. I get asked for a password which I dont have... I tried anon .. it was refused

There is no password...just press <enter>.


[]# cvs -z3 update
says directory invalid

This is because you can't update code you didn't get in the above step.

/usr/local/share/showeq/ is the directory that the source will make and compile the program into. So not the directory with the source of ShowEQ, unless you placed the sourcefiles in that directory (not smart imo). This to me is a sign, you are not working in the right directory.



[]# make distclean
make: *** NO rule to make target `distclean'. Stop

Second sign you are NOT in the right directory.

You should know what directory you placed the showEQ source into. It's one of the first things you do when installing ShowEQ, specify what directory it gets into.

If you *godforgive* forgot what directory you placed it into, do a



[]# find / -name map.cpp -print


to search your entire harddisk for one of the sourcefiles (map.cpp) The result should be (amongst all other instances of the file map.cpp it'll find, which shouldn't be much):

<showeq build directory>/src/map.cpp

<showeq build directory> is the directory you should run the commands I posted from.
