How do I "run" a make file in linux? I have the Fedora Project...
Thanks! Thats all I needed to know... Irrlicht doesn't give much help for compiling in linux at all... Oh well... I just need to learn!

How do I "run" a make file in linux?

Type Make.

[disanti]

Ok, atleast I know what command to use but I keep getting a "Make *** No rule to make target 'makefile'. Stop."

Ok, now I get it! You just type "make"... lol! Very easy!

Hmmmm... thats strange! Sydney isn't appearing in the Hello World, the map isn't appearing in the Quake 3 Map tutorial... Can linux port of Irrlicht load meshes?

for me, the demos work perfectly if i run the example from the console, but they run wrong if i execute them from the file manager.

If I run the programs from the command-line they run perfectly, but if I run them from the file manager (in my case 'Konqueror') I get a correctly sized window, the correct text overlays and window titles, but absolutely no graphical content except for the background colour. Strange.

[disanti]

Hmmm... I can't run it from the "Konsole". It gives me the error:

[disanti@localhost 1.HelloWorld]$ ls
example HelloWorld.dsw HelloWorld.vcproj Makefile
example.dev HelloWorld.ncb main.cpp Makefile.win
HelloWorld.dsp HelloWorld.sln main.cpp~ tutorial.html
[disanti@localhost 1.HelloWorld]$ example
bash: example: command not found

This thread makes me feel Linux-savvy.

Why are BSP examples so slow under linux? I get about 4 fps on them. It lags like hell it is VERY hard to move around like this!

It sounds like you don't have the nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel drivers for your card.

On Gentoo, it's `emerge -v nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx` (add `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"` at the start of that command if you're using a 2.6 kernel).

If you're using another distro, there are usually RPMs available - check your package-management utility.

I think it's better to install following the instructions on nVidia's website.

Thanks! Its running alot faster now!

Another stupid linux question... lol!
Shouldn't Niko make the engine able to load meshes if run from the X-Server instead of the Konsole? That would make my life alot easier. I'm using GEdit to do the coding, then I have to run Konsole and make it/run it. Its a big pain to have to type:
./test1
From the Konsole EVERYTIME someone wants to run a game/test/app. This should be fixed!

One more question!

Why is there no caption bar with the engine under linux?

I can't see the title! This is also VERY annoying.
