Errors Compiling AlephOne Engine

Forum thread started by stupac on Sun, 2013-02-17 05:32

I'm having trouble getting the game engine, AlephOne, to compile. I downloaded the source code from:

http://source.bungie.org/

The instructions say that for BeOS use:

make -f Makefile.BeOS install

When I do that I get the response:

Makefile.BeOS:208: *** target file `install' has both : and :: entries.  Stop.

Lines 207-208 in the file are:

INSTALLDIR = /boot/home/AlephOne
install: $(TARGET)

Next, I attempted to compile using the standard configure file, but it can't seem to find SDL even though SDL 1.2.4 is installed from haikuware:

checking for sdl-config... /boot/common/bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding SDL or finding the wrong
*** version of SDL. If it is not finding SDL, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
configure: error: You need SDL 1.2 to run Aleph One.

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for your time!

Lenovo Thinkpad Edge touchpad & keyboard problem

Forum thread started by woowe on Sun, 2013-02-17 04:32

When booting off a live USB onto my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge Laptop, I can get
to the desktop just fine (but it doesn't detect my screen resolution
correctly i.e loads up in 1024x768 instead of 1366x768). My touchpad works
just fine up until Haiku starts configuring my network card (I don't know if
it is the ethernet or the wireless), then my touchpad & keyboard
just doesn't work. I reaalllyyy want to install this OS but this is begining
to be a big obstacle.

Question about compiling on one machine and building on another.

Forum thread started by Alt-S John on Sat, 2013-02-16 15:17

For installing Haiku on a Mac Mini, after I unsuccessfully tried compiling on the that machine, I tried compiling it on a Macbook, and then building on the Mac Mini. Below are the error messages received:

headers/os/support/Errors.h:52:0: warning: "B_ERROR" redefined [enabled by default]
Error: couldn't open file /dev/disk0s4 (Resource busy)

I am wondering if I was close to getting it installed by the means that I tried, or if it simply is impossible to compile on one machine and build on another. Might anyone have any thoughts in that regard?

If it is not possible, I plan to try other means, but I thought that I’d inquire about this method first because I got much further in the install process than I had when trying to compile on the Mac Mini itself.

For some reason, I created an account a few months ago at http://dev.haiku-os.org and reported a bug. I was going to log in again about a month ago, and now it just shows me the "please enter your password" over and over. I've tried password reset numerous times, it doesn't work.

I get a 401 Authorization Required if I hit cancel.

This happens on both Windows and Linux with Firefox 18.0.2...

[SOLVED] Grub error 2 on booting

Forum thread started by connesso on Fri, 2013-02-15 11:05

Hi to everybody! I tried to install Haiku on a old ibm notebook, where I previously used Puppy Linux. Installation wentvery smoothly but when I restarted the system I got this error:

GRUB Loading stage 1.5
Grub loading, please wait...
Error 2

How can I fix it? Please, try to be simple in your instructions, since I am not so expert in informaticaìs.

Thanks a lot

I thought I had a working OS until about boot number 20(approx) I had kept a rough count because I've had this happen on a previous install.......Boot fails but a half sized screen arrives saying 'Panic Assert failed THREAD 98 "SSHD" welcome to debug land etc:(

I have no idea what caused this because I had not made any changes......any suggestions?

Does Haiku support AMD Radeon HD 6450 ?

Forum thread started by macsociety on Thu, 2013-02-14 19:20

My Acer Aspire X1300 stock video is only working in VESA mode which means on VGA I am getting max res of 1600x1200 and in HDMI port only 1280 x720.

I see on eBay some video cards made for my Acer X1300 optional video slot that are AMD or nVidia related.

I am guessing going AMD Radeon route is better and see one card that has this chipset:

AMD Radeon HD 6450

Will that work with Haiku R1A4?

Would be nice to get 1920 x 1080 resolution on my HaikuBox.
