setting up irrlicht 0.8 in linux

[the-wolf]

hey,
i'm new to irrlicht, but i already like it
there's just one thing that keeps me busy, i use gentoo and it doesn't have a package prepared for 0.8.
under windows everything works fine, but when i even compile the samples in linux, i get the following error:

Code: Select all

JPEG parameter struct mismatch: library thinks size is 464, caller expects 428

i have even recompiled the engine from scratch an copied the libs to /usr/lib, but i get this error, too.

Hi,
i had the same problem a few minutes ago

I had just to copy the irrlicht libjpeg.a to some folders (/usr/local/lib), and it worked. Its because of a wrong version of libjpeg.

i did that, but it doesnt work.
how long do you think does it take for the new gentoo-ebuilt to be updated?

[Sid]

I'm a debian user, no gentoo, but i dont think it will be updated, because it doesnt need to be updated, its not a bug in libjpeg, just different versions in the irrlicht-libjpeg header and the libjpeg installed on your system. Try to replace _all_ libjpegs on your system with the irrlicht libjpeg. I think this is what i did, but i'm not sure. Or try to search for "JPEG parameter struct mismatch:".

I use gentoo and I'm not having any problems. Just open a shell in your source folder and then "make" the engine; copy the generated libs in the linux folder into /usr/local/lib; finally follow this tut on how to set up anjuta for Irrlicht:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... juta#29339

oh yes, remember to emerge anjuta if you don't have it installed

Just switch the place of the library switch in example Makefile. So it takes Irrlicht jpg library first.

From

OPTS =  -I"../../include" -I"/usr/X11R6/include" -L"/usr/X11R6/lib" -L"../../lib/Linux" -lIrrlicht -lGL -lXxf86vm -lXext -lX11 -lz -ljpeg

Works on my Gentoo installation.

thanx!

ErMurazor's method worked!
