WarCraft on the Zaurus (640x480)? "FreeCraft" or & Options

[bluedevils]

libz.so and libz.so.1 is part of a compression library (zlib). I usually need it to work with openssl and openssh. I see that it is on my tkcrom and I imagine it would be present for any ROM that has openssh.

[TonyOlsen]

You need the SDL and Lua libraries on your system.  

LUA library? Was this engine written in Lua? Do I only need to copy the LUA library file to my user lib directory?

[TonyOlsen]

libz.so and libz.so.1 is part of a compression library (zlib).  

So, should I be looking for zlib or libz.so.1? I'm searching for this file on google, etc...

[TonyOlsen]

Ah.... http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=386 (The ZLib installer ipk)

[TonyOlsen]

Ok... now it says:

CODE

./stratagus: error while loading shared libraries: liblua.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

I downloaded lua_5.0.2_arm, (from http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1916) but it appears to be an executable and not a library. Where do I get the needed LUA libraries?

[TonyOlsen]

I downloaded the Lua libraries ( lua_0.4_arm.ipk ) from http://zaurus.zefamily.org/files/. (I hope that's the correct file/version).

I reran stratagus by itself and it is improving...

CODE

bash-2.05$ ./stratagus

Display size = 480x640

could not open translation file /home/QtPalmtop//i18n/zh_TW/lib1.qmid

filename:/home/QtPalmtop/lib/fonts/arial_140_50_t10.qpf

fontName:lcfont , size:10

Display size = 480x640

Maybe those will clear up when I run stratagus with the actual Data.wc2 file and with the correct parameters mentioned above.

Ok... now it says:

CODE

./stratagus: error while loading shared libraries: liblua.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

I downloaded lua_5.0.2_arm, (from http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1916) but it appears to be an executable and not a library.  Where do I get the needed LUA libraries?

Unforuntately that appears to be a lua interpreter and not a shared library....

[tecknobabble]

Make no promises about this as I've not tried/tested it or ever used lua but I downloaded the source and cross compiled it.... and here's the shared library you appear to need. Unzip it and make sure it has 755 permissions.

Good Luck

[TonyOlsen]

Any ideas why WarGus doesn't create the needed .wc2 file I need?

[Ethereal]

OK, I've installed libSDL-1.2.so.0 and the liblua.so provided by tecknobabble, but now I get:

# ./stratagus -d ./data.wc2/ -v 6
QSocket::writeBlock: Socket is not open
QSocket::writeBlock: Socket is not open
QSocket::writeBlock: Socket is not open
QSocket::writeBlock: Socket is not open
No Qt/Embedded server appears to be running.
If you want to run this program as a server,
add the "-qws" command-line option.

It's not asking for the zlib's; but how do I get around this?

[zbones]

Ok, I get different errors to you, I already had zlib and the sdl stuff and installed the liblua.so provided by tecknobabble,
and I get

CODE

SLSharedManager: can't get proc entry

Display size = 480x640

./stratagus: error while loading sharedlibrariesL ./stratagus: undefined symbol: lua_open

Does liblua.so also require links like liblua.so.0 etc?

It is finding liblua.so as the error message changed when I copied it into /home/QtPalmtop/lib and it is 755 too.

I did say in another thread that warcraft2 would not run on the zaurus, but I woud love to be proved wrong

Peter.

I downloaded the Lua libraries ( lua_0.4_arm.ipk ) from http://zaurus.zefamily.org/files/.  (I hope that's the correct file/version).

I have now switched the liblua binary to this one, and get the following.

CODE

./stratagus -d ./data.wc2 -v 6

SLSharedManager: can't get proc entry

Display size = 480x640

SLSharedManager: can't get proc entry

Display size = 480x640

edit, just rebooted and now I don't get the errors anymore, just two lines saying "Display size = 480x640" a quick flash of the screen and then my prompt comes back.

echo $? returns error code 255.


Hmm

[TonyOlsen]

Do you have the needed Data.wc2 director/file? I can't figure out how to create mine. Has anyone else been able to use the WarGus to create a Data.wc2 directory/file?... on an Intel Windows machine? Please help...

[Ethereal]

zBones: I think you want to use -v 1, not -v 6 (which ced posted as the setting for a 240 x 320 screen).

[Ethereal]

Tony Olsen: I D/L'd (from http://wargus.sourceforge.net/download.html) the "Windows Binary and Source," whcih was wargus2.0-pre1.zip, unzipped it, and (With my WC2 CD in the drive) ran "build.bat," which said something about detecting an original US DOS CD, and then "Please be patient, extraction will take a while." When it exited, the data.wc2 directory had been created in the same directory as build.bat.
