Compiling Rcbot - Linux Options

[Venom]

Hello,
I am having problems setting up the g++ compiler under linux and the g++ compiler for Windows wasnt much help either. I understand fully how to compile under Visual Studio but having little experience of Linux in general, i am not sure how to setup the compiler in order to compile the code.

If someone would be so kind as to provide me with so guideance i would be very greatful.

under gentoo, and possibly others cause i dont use anything but gentoo...


cd /pathto/rcbot/dlls
make -f makefile_linux
or
make -f makefile_linux_mm

i just tried to compile rcbot on my linux system and i got several errors, youll have to diddle the code a bit.

Do you mind helping me with the linux compiling?

As i have a dedicated server with 100mbit connection now but the server runs Linux which is something i am not use too and as i enjoy developing areas of rcbot, i would like to understand how to develop and compile in both VS (which i know already) and Linux (which i know very little about).

If you could help me sort out the errors i would be be very greatful

I am downloading Gentoo now, i will then download the latest source and attempt to compile it using the the command you gave me, then i will have a look at the errors, but having never worked with linux, i dont think i will be able to fix them without your help.

gentoo may not be the one to start out with... i made that mistake, but it turned out somewhat good cause it does what i need without doing extra stupid crap. when you go to use it, its got no GUI and stuff, you have to download and compile KDE or gnome if you want those. you just get the shell, which is delicious for servers, cause you dont need the overhead of the GUI. but if you know enough linux to get it going, sure ill help out where i can. most of my coding on linux has been for hardware interaction though, not crazy bots with AI and such... but I've edited the code under windows, cause... i like windows and use it for my game/web servers.


and i want a damn 100mbit connection lol

The operating system which came with my server was: Fedora Core 4

Its very similar to gentoo it seems so i think i will stay with Fedora Core for the moment as i cannot see any special difference between the two other than the theme.

I have downloaded the source code onto the server, if you could guide me as to what programs i need install in order to compile them and what code to add i would be very greatful.

I work on RCbot from the multiple mode side of it, i have currently got (i havnt shared the source yet, bad off me ) Marine Vs Marine and Alien vs Alien working for Windows which it didnt support before. I have started to continue development on adding another extra feature which you will love if you have an NS server

But as mentioned before, Linux seems alot harder to compile stuff under compared with Visual Studio, with Visual Studio you just load the worksheet, edit some code, then compile the rcbot_mm.dll (i perfer mm ), linux on the other hand, doesnt seem to have an installer as such for applications, you just kinda put them into a directory or something is my understanding of it.

But if you could help me compile source under Linux, myself and others would be very greatful as i have made some changes to the RCbot.

Thanks
Venom

UPDATE: I managed to find the development tools needed to compile RCbot with, the annoying thing is that the server wont install those packages lol.
