I am attempting to build a Debian/Ubuntu package of the latest SuperTuxKart SVN, but I am having a problem that causes the build to fail with the following error:

/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/tmp/buildd/supertuxkart-0.7~svn4417/debian/tmp/usr/share/games/supertuxkart/data/tracks/jungle/materials.xml' with `./jungle/materials.xml'

I was wondering what, if anything, I might be doing wrong and how to fix this error. Thanks!

Hi there,

indeed the autotools build system has been barely kept working during development (Hiker is using Visual Studio as build system, and I am using Xcode). So it is sort of expected that 'make install' would fail. I don't believe I know enough about autotools to fix that. Patches are gladly accepted, but anyway this will surely be fixed by a [stable and probably even not-so-stable] release

I know absolutely nothing about autotools, so I don't think I can fix it myself. I am not quite sure what the error even means.

thefirstm {l Wrote}:I know absolutely nothing about autotools, so I don't think I can fix it myself. I am not quite sure what the error even means.

I'll have a look tomorrow, we need this to work when we do an alpha release anyway.

Hi,

I think I've fixed it in r4426 - can you give this a try? It worked for me, so I can't verify this. There might be other directories with a similar issue - please let us know of them, so we can fix them all.

Thanks!

Sorry for the slowness. I am trying to compile it now...

Nope, more failures:

/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/build/buildd/supertuxkart-0.7~svn4464/debian/tmp/usr/share/games/supertuxkart/data/bubblegum.projectile' with `./bubblegum.projectile'
/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/build/buildd/supertuxkart-0.7~svn4464/debian/tmp/usr/share/games/supertuxkart/data/plunger.projectile' with `./plunger.projectile'
/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/build/buildd/supertuxkart-0.7~svn4464/debian/tmp/usr/share/games/supertuxkart/data/cake.projectile' with `./cake.projectile'
/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/build/buildd/supertuxkart-0.7~svn4464/debian/tmp/usr/share/games/supertuxkart/data/bowling.projectile' with `./bowling.projectile'

Hi,

thanks for the list, found indeed another bug. Could you try again after updating to r4468 (or later), and report any more files that have a problem? That's a bit annoying, but since it works for me I can't easily find them.

Thanks!

Thanks! It compiles just fine now, and runs too. Most of the races I have tried also work, but I have noticed one problem. Antialiasing does not work. (This with the nvidia blob, by the way.)

Another one: the executable at ./src/supertuxkart isn't copied to the installation folder. I grep for "src" but didn't find something useful. SVN 4704.
