Hello:

I was trying to compile Terminal Overload from the source code, but without success. I was hoping that somebody might be able to tell me what I did wrong, or if there is perhaps a workaround. When compiling from source, the compile fails and there is mention that -llibvorbis, -llibogg, and -llibtheora cannot be found. But I have all of these libraries installed.

This is on a Gentoo GNU/Linux x86_64 system:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

But this system has all of the libraries:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

# ls  /usr/lib64/ | grep libogg.so
libogg.so
libogg.so.0
libogg.so.0.8.1


{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

# ls  /usr/lib64/ | grep libvorbis.so
libvorbis.so
libvorbis.so.0
libvorbis.so.0.4.7


{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

# ls  /usr/lib64/ | grep libtheora.so
libtheora.so
libtheora.so.0
libtheora.so.0.3.10


Even when trying to manually include them in LDFLAGS environment variable, (for example, using LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/usr/lib64 -lvorbis -logg -ltheora" gmake) I still see the same error message.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated. Thank you for your support.

The game is still 32-bit only (although that will change soon) and compiling it on a 64-bit system is possible but a bit of a pain in the ass to get working. In addition to 32-bit versions of the required libraries I remember also having had to install some gcc/g++ packages related to compiling 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit system.

In the end it was all for nothing because my 64-bit linux system can't run TOL anyway because it doesn't support OpenGL 3.2+. I was planning on writing down my steps next time I'm compiling the engine on a 64-bit linux system. If you continue trying to compile the engine it would be great if you did the same and added it to the wiki.
