Linux problems

neo_granas · Post by **neo_granas** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 6:58 am

Well, to start off, I really want a SNES emulator to work and this one seem to have the best features/support/developement so I thought I'd try it. After a bit extensive work, due to the lack of Linux knowledge on my part, I finally got it compiled. All of the suggested libs are installed including libpng, and when i try to run zsnes from the command line, I get this error.

Now, being new to Linux and how to get this program running on it, I have no idea what to do. Anyone else run into the same thing that could help me?[/quote]

This is fixed in SVN. Read this to obtain ZSNES from SVN: http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7371

neo_granas · Post by **neo_granas** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 6:31 pm

Checked that out, they don't have my distro sadly, so I was going to try the Debian instructions but since i'm on Fedora Core 5, bash is saying i don't have an "apt-get" command. Anything else I could try?

spoon0042 · Post by **spoon0042** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 9:24 pm

Just make sure you have those or similary named packages installed, then do the rest:

Code: Select all

svn co https://svn.bountysource.com/zsnes/trunk/ zsnes 
cd zsnes/src 
./autogen.sh

At this point there should be a summary printed saying if SDL, GL, etc were found. If everything is ok, run make, then as root make install.

neo_granas · Post by **neo_granas** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 8:53 am

ran the make install and got this at the very end

/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file zsnes: Is a directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [main] Error 1

did i need to make a directory or do a symbolic link?
I'm running Fedora Core 5, can't remember if I mentioned that already.

spoon0042 · Post by **spoon0042** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 4:10 pm

um. That's weird.

Try starting over with a fresh directory I guess.

neo_granas · Post by **neo_granas** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 5:44 pm

so I just change "zsnes" to "Zsnes" or something? or how could i scrap the whole thing and get rid of everything i've done so far?

Echoecho · Post by **Echoecho** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 10:06 pm

cd
rm -rf zsnes

then start over.

neo_granas · Post by **neo_granas** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 6:17 pm

So I scrapped it, started it again, did the sh ./autogen.sh && gmake && gmake install command, ran it's thing, typed make, prayed as it said to, then did make install (I can't remember where it was that I read I needed to do that).

Tried to run it and God didn't love me, got the same error, before I try the SVN fix, is there one for Fedora or no?

A note on the install though, just after entering the first command, this came up in the output first:

Generating build information using aclocal and autoconf...
acinclude.m4:10: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_ZLIB
run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/auto ... ng-aclocal
acinclude.m4:121: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LIBPNG

And the link given only shows how to write your own AC macros, did I need to do that?

Post by **Nach** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 10:26 pm

Make sure you have automake, autoconf, libpng-dev, and zlib-dev all installed.

And I do recommend using SVN. But I have no idea what you mean by is there one for Fedora or not.

adventure_of_link · Post by **adventure_of_link** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 3:46 am

He means there are no Fedora Core instructions in the SVN sticky.

After you get the stuff Nach said (try looking in your package manager, whatever it is (try looking for adept, synaptic, kynaptic, etc), it's been awhile since I last used FC), you should be able to do this:

Code: Select all

cd ~
svn co https://svn.bountysource.com/zsnes/trunk/ zsnes
(optional) mv zsnes zsnes_xxxx (where xxxx is the version number, should be the last output of the svn command)
cd zsnes/src
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Oh yeah, and apt is the debian command line-based package manager

Made sure every one of the dev packages was installed, and intsalled a few i wasn't sure if they were needed but they had similar names so I figured it couldn't hurt. I got the same errors again. I may have screwed up a few steps, but is this the step by step of what I would need to do?

1. Have these packages installed:
SDL-1.2.11-1
SDL_mixer-1.2.7-1
SDL-devel-1.2.11-1
nasm-rdoff-0.98.39-3.2.1
nasm-0.98.39-1
nasm-doc-0.98.39-3.2.1
zlib-1.2.3-1.2.1
zlib-devel-1.2.3-3
libpng-1.2.8-2.2.1
libpng-devel-1.2.8-2.2.1

2. Unarchive the folder into the home directory (or wherever)
3. In the /zsnes_1_42/src folder type "sh ./autogen.sh && gmake && gmake install"
4. Then the code provided above by adventure_of_link

Anything I missed? It wouldn't surprise me seeing as how the method I used was compiled between this site, the install.txt file, and instructions given by the install notes in the command line.

eh. Points for reading the docs, but I'm not sure how up to date / correct / conflicting they are.

2. Unarchive the folder into the home directory (or wherever)
3. In the /zsnes_1_42/src folder type "sh ./autogen.sh && gmake && gmake install"

Don't do that. SVN downloads a complete copy of the (current) source. You've got two (at least) possibly overlapping copies of the zsnes source.

Delete all the zsnes source dirs you have. Then:
1. svn co https://svn.bountysource.com/zsnes/trunk/ zsnes
2. cd zsnes/src
3. ./autogen.sh
(make sure SDL and stuff are ok)
4. make
5. (as root) make install
