Rh 8.0

[semgin]

Has anyone tested SEQ with RH 8.0 that was released today? I was just curious if it would work or not?

[Cryonic]

Don't see why it wouldn't. Everything on the system is compiled with gcc 3.2 (even QT).

just made it, all ok, no problem found yet but the libpcap that u need to install manualy since it is not in the default install. easy.

I had a little trouble #make -ing the qt-2.3.2 file in RH 8.0. I followed all the directions in doing the pico -w changes of gcc and g++ to gcc3 and g++3 but it wouldnt work. I even tried the actual version name located on the disk, both 3.2-7 and plain ole 3.2. I then followed the instructions in typing in gcc then hitting TAB twice to find out the version name installed under RH 8.0 and that finally worked. In changing the name of the qt.2.3.2-g++-shared file i changed gcc and g++ to gcc296 and g++296 and that worked just fine. I'm a newbie on linux, so maybe this will help out some of you newbies installing RH 8.0:D

I then followed the instructions

Gosh, following instructions does help, who would have thought of that?

[Cryonic]

One small problem. SEQ needs QT compiled with gcc3 or greater, so with RH8 you shouldn't need to edit any file since gcc and g++ should be version 3.2 and are pointed to by default in the QT files.

Yeah, I finally finished compiling and then tried to do the make install...and guess what...YOU NEED 3.0 or LATER...SO...Being a total Linux moron (douses himself with gasoline and hands out Bic lighters, with the child-proofing removed ((i like to call em "castrated lighters"))) I completely REINSTALLED 8.0 because I figured I screwed something up...this time I did just as you stated, although I did it before you replied, and did not adjust the -g++-shared file at all...I left it alone...and its recompiling on its own again with no errors...I guess I will find out once I try the /make install of SEQ.

Okay boys...flick yer Bic!

Thanks Cryonic...SEQ is compiling correctly...WOOT!!!

Just recently installed redhat 8.0. Just downloaded eqlib file and show eq from the cvs and compiled. No additional libraries where needed. GCC3, Libpcap, QT3.0.5 all come with redhat 8. Easiest install ever.

It does appear the SEQ installs on RH8.0 on a base install right out of the box. wheeee

DL'd RH 8.0 (the first three disks anyway)
Wiped my hard drive of RH 7.3 and did a clean install.
Let the OS partition the hard drive and checked "Everything" in the packages screen.
DL'd LibEQ.a and hit CVS for the source. Compiled Ok and ShowEQ was up and running.
Noticed it's severly slower than 7.2 or 7.3.
I can hardly run it at 5fps with all the extra boxes turned off (Spawn List 2, Spell list.. etc)
Top shows X taking up 87% processor and Seq taking up 2.8% as the top two users of CPU cycles.

Just something to think about before jumping to RH 8.0

Has nothing to do with running RH8. Try compiling QT 2.3.2 and then compile SEQ against that and see how much of a speed difference there is.
