Where Is "platform/unix/automagic"?

Post by pyndragon »

Hey, I'm using Mandriva 11.0, which doesn't have a built distribution. So I downloaded the 0.8.0 source, installed dependencies, and went looking for "platform/unix/automagic". Unable to find this :ehem: , I just ran the standard software configure, make, and install.

Code: Select all

[pydsigner@localhost love-0.8.0]$ ls platform/unix
config.guess*  config.sub*  depcomp*  install-sh*  ltmain.sh  missing*
[pydsigner@localhost love-0.8.0]$ love
Could not set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
Segmentation fault
But that doesn't work, as you can see. What am I not getting?
It's so hard going against the flow. Especially when you don't know they want you to obey.

The "platform/unix/automagic" script is not included in the source package from the front page of love2d.org. That source already has a genereted configure script. It only applies when you get it form the repository.

Uhm, I think someone else also had that problem. Don't remember if it was on the forum or on the tracker. Missing X dependency perhaps? Edit: Er, no, I was thinking of something else.

It typically means it can't create a window of that size, are you running on something that has a display smaller than 800x600?
In the likely case you're not, have you run any other OpenGL applications?

bartbes: No, I do not have that small a screen, and yes, I have successfully run other OpenGL programs; for instance, GL-117.
Bool: You may be right, because I had to get a patch to install Pyglet.
