I'm trying to get ROTT to run. It's a old favorite 3D shooter for those that may not have played it. It was supposed to have been a sequel to Wolfenstien 3-D. Linux port source code can be found here: http://www.icculus.org/rott/ (http://www.icculus.org/rott/)
It compiles natively fine on my Z but when the binary runs it crashes with a not so helpful
# ./rott
Rise of the Triad Startup Version 1.4
Shareware Version
Z_INIT: 8950000 bytes
IN_Startup; Mouse Present
OH NO OH NO ROTT CRASHED!
Here is where:
Stack dump:
{
}
I've looked through the source code, but I'm no coder so nothing jumped out at me. I've tried running the ROTT ipk that's in OZ when I've flashed to OZ/GPE and that binary doesn't crash, rather it hangs while loading the wad file.
To add insult to injury, I tried compiling ROTT on my Ubuntu/Dapper box and it fails on the SDL-mixer portion of the compile.
Anybody ever got this puppy to run on a Z? Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jerry

Are you using SWAP ?
This maybe because of signed char bug in GCC/ARM, too ....
You can try use CFLAGS=-fsigned_char or change all variable declarations on source from char to signed char ...

Yes, I've got 256 mg of swap. I'll try changing the CFLAGS to see if that helps.
Thanks!

Hmm, I added -fsigned_char to the CFLAGS line in the MakeFile and it errored out:
gcc -fsigned_char -g -I/opt/native/arm/3.4.6-xscale-softvfp/armv5tel-cacko-linux/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -DUSE_SDL=1 -DPLATFORM_UNIX=1 -W -Wall -Wno-unused -DUSE_EXECINFO=1 -c -o cin_actr.o cin_actr.c
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fsigned_char"
make: *** [cin_actr.o] Error 1

Try change all variable declarations on source from char to signed char ...

Crap, after all of the find & replacing, no joy: same error
I hope someone smarter than I takes a crack at this, it's a fun game. One of the things I like over doom is the anti-gravity pads that allow you to jump to areas of the map & collect items as you fly through the air

Still only trying to do blind shot but try use -fpack-struct (never helped me, but they advice to do it), or use __attribute__ ((packed)) at structures. These old dos fps games have problems with ARM porting. I've tried:
dukenukem3d - compiles runs OK but has problem with save/load (corrupted).
descent d1x rebirth - compiles OK but segfault on run.
descent d2x cvs or rebirth - compiles, runs OK till you get hit. Then some memory is overwriten and of course segfault.
I want to try also heretic and hexen, but i am frustrated right now from unsuccesfull attempts. Problem can be ARM signed/unsigned chars and structure alignment. But I am not rael c/c++ programmer to easy solve thous problems.
BTW: Don't you know how our version of gcc handles structure alignment in ARM by default?

Well, sorry I'm even less of a c/c++ coder than you. You're way ahead of me as I don't know what a structure alignment is
Also bummed to hear about Dukenukem, another of my old favorites, I'd love to have that on my Z too. Even though it doesn't Save/load, would you mind posting it somewhere? I'd love o see it run on my Z.
BTW, I did finally get ROTT to compile & run in Ubuntu.
Cheers,
Jerry

I did't know too what is structure alignment .... I searched ... but it didn't help me still to fix problem. I posted duke nukem binaris here [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18105&hl=duke+nukem]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...5&hl=duke+nukem[/url]
enjoy
Who will fix save/load problem?
