Imprudence 1.2 x86_64 build (Linux)

[Armin]

Hi,

here comes the second test-build of Imprudence 1.2 for x86_64-Linux.
"The second? Did I miss the first ?" You may ask ... er ... well ... no, you didn't miss much, unless you wanted to see a client crash before even the login screen opened.

"Test-build - whats that?" The lack of a better word, of course ...
It comes with all libraries needed, like the 32bit client versions, and that's the part that needs testing. Almost all of the libs are recompiled, since the ones that LL(tm) provides for 64bit Linux are pretty old, some broken, or not even existent.

Some of these libs tend to get depending to the system they are build on instead to what they are told to depend on. That was the trouble with the first test build - it depended on a mixture of Debian versions (Lenny and Squeeze).

The second build was tested on Debian Lenny, Gentoo 10.1, and OpenSuse 11.0 (thank you, Adamas !). So it's time to go into the wild ...

Known issues:
===========
* no voice. You can work around this if you have 32bit compatibility in place - afaik all fairly recent popular distros have that out of the box.
Now keep a backup of your imprudence/lib/ folder. Get the voice parts from an 1.22 LL(tm) client and copy them in place. Make sure you have openal and libuuid installed on your system (using your package manager). Get 32bit versions of: libalut.so libopenal.so.1 libortp.so libuuid.so.1 (they e.g. can be found in 1.22 ) and libidn.so.11 - and copy them in your imprudence/lib/ folder. Ok overwriting libopenal.so.1 and libuuid.so.1 (since you made sure you installed them system wide and keep a backup this is safe).

*no sound in videos. Binaries of the aac decoder ( libgstfaad.so) are patented and can't be redistributed. Many Gstreamer plugins just can be plugged in the imprudence/lib/gstreamer-plugins/ folder - i didn't have this special one to try.

So far everything's fine, except that GTK dialogs don't grab my theme (they look like unskinned GTK1 dialogs), and the following error shows up in the terminal a bunch of times:

(<unknown>:24385): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/local/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file or directory

This is on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit.

Yay feedback

So far everything's fine, except that GTK dialogs don't grab my theme (they look like unskinned GTK1 dialogs), and the following error shows up in the terminal a bunch of times:(<unknown>:24385): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/local/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file or directory

Ok, I look in this.

Issues already worked on:
* Pango wrong elfclass ELF32 issues on Opensuse (inverse of the Debian/Ubuntu Pango wrong elfclass ELF64 issue on the 32bit viewer)
* Snapshot not working

known issues not yet worked on:
* hi-res snapshot not working


Thanks for finding the bugs !

Renaming of libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 to libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.foo in the Imprudence/lib/ folder let Imprudence use your systems gdk-pixbuf.loaders - also here no disadvantage doing so. If that works well for you you can of course delete the unneeded file.

Didn't work, and now in the terminal I get this:

(<unknown>:14956): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Two different plugins tried to register 'BasicEngineFc'.

(<unknown>:14956): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

but repeated 69 times.

It does not seem to run on 64 bit Ubuntu 8.04 LTS at all. The imprudence.log stops at "INFO: ll_try_gtk_init: Starting GTK Initialization."

New build, tested on Debian Lenny, OpenSuse 11.1, Gentoo 10.1, and Ubuntu 9.10:

Yeah, also the 32bit Imprudence1.2 isn't working on a 32bit Ubuntu 8.04 without updating a few libraries to Jaunty. Even though I did that myself for my 32bit 8.04 and it worked well I'm not sure if that is something I should recommend - if something goes wrong it is not easy to fix.
