Getting Qrack to compile in Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) Video included!

[Phenom]

I am having trouble setting up code::blocks correctly and other
headaches so lets just test what we have for now.
My quake dir is /username/quake/ and qrack from commandline works right for me, sometimes I may heve to do it a few times before pulse sets up sound though.
Here is what I built of it on Lucid

BETA

http://quakeone.dyndns.org/qrack-1.60.1_1.6-1_i386.deb
P.S.
NEVER RQ your rig....hehe

I installed the DEB, and I'm getting the same error I get before (using my own compile)

You got the shells
qrack-sdl: gl_rpart.c:1050: AddParticle: Assertion `size > 0 && time > 0' failed.
Received signal 6, exiting...
******@******-desktop:~/quake$

It almost instantly crashes when I do "timedemo demo2" (Right when the wizard shoots its green slime) and crashes almost sporadically when I play online.

I think I got that error in TF
Try increasing memory first like

blun[email protected]luntz-box:~$ qrack -fullscreen -width 1280 -height 1024 -bpp32 -mem 280 -zone 1024 -sndspeed 44100 -nocdaudio -nojoy

And as GB showed earlier for sound.

[email protected]:~$ SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse qrack -fullscreen -width 1280 -height 1024 -bpp32 -mem 280 -zone 1024 -sndspeed 44100 -nocdaudio -nojoy

running it at the defaults 48000 crashes me and sounds like tin cans.
I actually found an update for the slurred sound in the quakeforge project but the fix
required editing the raw code and we need to ask Rook about it may fixed upstream.

The only difference between my compile and yours is that patch you used that I can see.
I made one other minor change to makefile. removing /usr/local/ to /usr instead.
you should now be able to make a shiny button for your desktop now...
but mines running timedemo and timerefresh just fine, if you can see this screenshot
I think I Got Banned for Posting Those Guavaween 2010 pics of genitortures with grenades strapped to her garters and the freak hangin from hooks on a trapeze may have something to do with it ya think?

[bluntz]

Actually you didnt run it at all
You ran your your patched 64 bit from your quake dir.
The deb I made is 32 bit and should be run by just typing qrack if the deb will work at all for you since your not on Lucid. YMMV
I made it a deb so it would be easy to remove.

buildlog

ok I seem to have code::blocks working almost the same as console
while it builds with a warning from the prompt, the IDE errors on these 2 lines :

Well I dont know what i did but now it is failing me too

qrack-glx: gl_rpart.c:1050: AddParticle: Assertion `size > 0 && time > 0' failed.
Received signal 6, exiting...
[email protected]:~/quake$

Coincidence that gl_rpart.c 1050 is throwing more errors?
this was the TF error also and since your using the SDL build and me GLX I find it unlikely
we would get the same file pissing itself.

[R00k]

That assertion is just a break point if the condition is met, it's basically a debug error that points to invalid parameters passed to that function.

[bluntz]

If Particle Style is set to classic
Timedemo demo2 runs fine.
My sound has been giving me some issues .I have to do a
killall pulseaudio
and quickly start qrack to make it run.

We grew up and tried to get Qrack 2.x to run under Linux! *nudge nudge hint hint*

*Plz don't hit me*

[R00k]

I know, im hoping by june 22nd to have 2.0 on windows, linux, and osx.

Music to my ears!

I'll be one of your first testers!

Got a slightly new issue to post:

Currently using Fedora - dependencies are all installed, albeit under different names.

Qrack compile goes just fine, no errors.
All files, pak, id1 etc are all lowercase.

Problem happens after copying the glx and sdl over to the quake directory.
Issuing ./qrack-sdl or ./qrack-glx (with or without fullscreen) I get this particular issue. Qrack starts up, and I get the opening sound and a flash of the menu but immediately crashes with the following:

Received signal 11, exiting...
Couldn't write config.cfg

This all happens fairly instantaneously and every *once* in a while I am able to hit escape for the menu fast enough for qrack to stay open for a few seconds longer. Signal 11 is typically some type of memory allocation error.

Any ideas guys?

[R00k]

do you have a /qrack folder in the /quake folder?

it doesnt find your qrack specific media,

Couldn't load corona0 image
Couldn't load particlefont image
Couldn't load water_caustic image
Couldn't load solidskytexture image
Couldn't load alphaskytexture image
Couldn't load blood_splat01 image
Couldn't load blood_splat02 image
Couldn't load blood_splat03 image
Couldn't load explo_burn01 image
Couldn't load particle_burn01 image
Couldn't load glow2 image

. Could be the problem

[Spike]

run it through valgrind or gdb (warning: valgrind, ati, and direct rendering is spammy as heck, and not recommended)

[bluntz]

it might be permissions, it said it couldn't write.or maybe dir doesn't exist to write to.
Did you say Fedora? If I remember right your path is /usr/local while ubu is
just /usr maybe something there.
