Driver not for Linux?!?

Hey,

I am working with a friend on a new game project. He told me, he would have the sourcecode for windows and it would be portable for Linux.

Now I've compiled the program myself with Linux, irrLicht 0.8.1 and irrKlang 1.3. Everything works well, but if I try to start the program, I get this:

Code: Select all

philipp@kubuntu:~/descent4/Descent4 - Copy/debug$ ./Descent4
Irrlicht Engine version 1.3
Warning: The library version of the Irrlicht Engine (1.3) does not match the version the application was compiled with (1.2). This may cause problems.
Linux 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP Tue Mar 13 23:32:38 UTC 2007 i686
This driver is not available in Linux. Try OpenGL or Software renderer.
Segmentation fault
philipp@kubuntu:~/descent4/Descent4 - Copy/debug$

What's wrong here? Any solutions?

You must compile new lib from Irrlicht 1.3 source and compiling your app with new lib;) That's all:)

Ok, I found out, that my include-files were the wrong version. But I get still this:

Code: Select all

philipp@kubuntu:~/descent4/Descent4 - Copy/debug$ ./Descent4
Irrlicht Engine version 1.3
Linux 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP Tue Mar 13 23:32:38 UTC 2007 i686
This driver is not available in Linux. Try OpenGL or Software renderer.
Segmentation fault
philipp@kubuntu:~/descent4/Descent4 - Copy/debug$

If I start with GDB, it tells me, the error is in the function "Engine::getGUIEnv".
I get the same error, if I run the 2nd example:

Code: Select all

philipp@kubuntu:~/irrlicht/irrlicht-1.3/bin/Linux$ ./02.Quake3Map
Please select the driver you want for this example:
 (a) Direct3D 9.0c
 (b) Direct3D 8.1
 (c) OpenGL 1.5
 (d) Software Renderer
 (e) Burning's Software Renderer
 (f) NullDevice
 (otherKey) exit

a
Irrlicht Engine version 1.3
Linux 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP Tue Mar 13 23:32:38 UTC 2007 i686
This driver is not available in Linux. Try OpenGL or Software renderer.
philipp@kubuntu:~/irrlicht/irrlicht-1.3/bin/Linux$

But if I choose OpenGL, it does work...
Maybe I have to change something?!?

Ok, I could locate the error line:

Code: Select all

m_pDevice=createDevice(E_DRIVER_TYPE(driver), dimension2d<s32>(width, hieght), bits, full, buffer, vsync, this);

Don't know, what this is :-/

you cant use directx in linux, its supported in windows only. if you want to use engine in linux - openGL is your friend and you cant change him

I don't know how to edit this line, or how to change the driver! :-/

I couldn't find something like OpenGL or Direct3D or DirectX in my code...

Just E_DRIVER_TYPE.

Please help me!!

The value of the variable driver is important for this.
Add the following line before your line:

Code: Select all

    driver = EDT_OPENGL;
