Irrlicht Engine

I use Debian Linux with gcc. As graphical development tool, I use KDevelop an KDBG as Debugger. That works fine, except of creating the makefiles with autoconf and automake, which seems to be a little bit buggy.

Hi stampsm,

I'm very interested in your results. I want to create a space scene, this is very easy if you have sphere nodes with satellite fotos from earth or other planets as textures.
I would be happy if you could notify me when your code works

I can tell you what I had to do to get it work with debian linux. I hava a nvidia tnt2 card, and unfortunately, there comes no driver for it with debian. So I had to use the original driver from nvidia, recompile the kernel etc. After that, I had to add some things in the XF86Config-File. Then ...

"Warning: This driver is not available in Linux. Trying OpenGL."
I guess this only means that there is no DirectX available an that instead OpenGL is used. So it doesn't matter.
"Warning: Could not find texture in Q3 .bsp:textures/common/caulk"
If you look into the Quake-File (it is a zip file, you ...

I had the same problem with 0.4. With 0.41, the textures are ok. But now there is another problem: It is very dark in the rooms - not as bright as on the screenshots. And in example 7, I hava some strange light effects. It looks as if a red sun would shine through the wall, and sometime there are ...

I use a Debian installation based on Knoppix 3.2. Last year, I started my first Linux installation with Suse 7.1, after that 8.0 and 8.1. Installation was very easy, but I ran into Problems when I made internet updates an later tried to install new programs from the disks.
Then I tried Debian based ...

Hi Niko,

here is a possible solution:

//! returns if window is active. if not, nothing need to be drawn
bool CIrrDeviceLinux::isWindowActive()
{
Window focus_return;
int revert_to_return;
XGetInputFocus(display, &focus_return, &revert_to_return);
return (focus_return==window);
}

If I use ...

The link in my last posting doesn't work. Here ist the correct one:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2002-07/msg00186.html

Let's take the last message. The "__gxx_personality_v0" symbol ist part of the libstdc++.so (see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2002-07/msg00186.html). Seems that your Compiler does not find this library in the LIBPATH. Try
"gcc -print-file-name=libstdc++.so"
on the command line to find out if the ...

Would be interesting to see some concrete error messages. I had a problem with "undefined reference to" under Debian Linux. The solution was to add "-lpthread" in the "gcc..." line of the makefiles.

Hello,

I read the article in C't, which teased me very much. So I tested the examples with Linux and KDevelop.
When I start the examples, they have the complete control of the mouse movements, even if another program has the focus. This is extremely obstructive when I try to debug the examples ...
