Porting Crossfire to IRIX -- help with error

[squeen]

I have tried porting Crossfire to the Silicon Graphics operating system, IRIX v6.5.21.
I was able to successful compile and install the server (1.5.0) , gtk client (1.6.0) andmaps.

When I run "crossfire" to start the server all seems well although I do see the following

BUG: process_events(): Object without map or inventory is on active list: mobility (0)
clean_friendly_list: Removed 1 bogus links
CS: connection from client of type < GTK Unix Client 1.6.0>

but it still says waiting for connection.

I start up the client via "gcfclient", which comes up and asks for me to select a server. I choose localhost.

Next, I client core dumps and the server displays:

clean_friendly_list: Removed 1 bogus links
CS: connection from client of type < GTK Unix Client 1.6.0>
Get SetupCmd:: map1acmd 1 sound 1 sexp 1 darkness 1 newmapcmd 1 faceset 0 facecache 0 exp64 1 itemcmd 2

enter_map: supplied coordinates are not within the map! (/HallOfSelection: -1, -1)
LOGOUT: Player named dwarf from ip 127.0.0.1

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

enter_map: supplied coordinates are not within the map! (/HallOfSelection: -1, -1)

That looks like the problem - you cannot enter a map at -1 -1 and I can't see how this would happen either. I am assuming you have the maps installed under /share/crossfire/maps or whatever it would be in your setup?

[Guest]

Yes I downloaded crossfire-1.5.0.maps-big.tar.gz and extracted them into /usr/local/share/crossfire.

Any other ideas as to what might cause this. I am new to crossfire...is there an additional installation and executing step other than starting the sever and then the client?

[Guest]

I also am getting the following error in the client just before it crashes:

Unable to find match for faceset (null) on the server

Perhaps there is a missing component in my installation.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Avion]

my bad - you said the client crashed not the server didn't you. Can you get a debugger on the client to capture what happens when it crashes?

[Guest]

I've tried dbx and gdb - it just tells me that it recieved a signal to terminate.

What does it say _exactly_? Did you try "bt full"?

I went back to the drawning board and discovered I was linking to an unstable version of libpng. I now have a working version of the crossfire server 1.5.0 and the crossfire client 1.6.0 on IRIX!

There were a couple of very minor changes to the Makefiles (missing link libs), and a code hack required to get gcc to compile the client:

Here is a diff of my hacked gtk/image.c and the original source:

Code: Select all

190,194c190,196
< 	    p = (uint32) (fog->pixels + i);
< 	    g = ( ((p >> 24) & 0xff)  + ((p >> 16) & 0xff) + ((p >> 8) & 0xff)) / 3;
< 	    p = (g << 24) | (g << 16) | (g << 8) | (p & 0xff);
< 	    l = (uint32*) fog->pixels + i;
< 	    *(uint32*) l = p;

> /*  ----------------------------------------------------------- */  

This change seems to be in a section of code that uses SDL and only applies to Big Endian machines, so might have been overlooked in all of the Intel/Linux builds. Hope it help someone else.

I plan to post the IRIX binaries (in tardist format) shortly. I'll provide a link at that time.
