compilation woes on 64bit linux

[gwmngilfen]

Hello all,

I've been attempting to compile the latest SVN version on my 64bit Archlinux box. The good news is that I've managed to compile a binary that seems to execute, however, launching the binary just gives a black screen. I followed the posts on the wiki/forum for editing premake4.lua and te4core.lua, which now look like this:

Combined with SDL-hg, SDL_image-hg, and SDL2_ttf from the core Arch repo, this appears to build without error, and as you can see, ldd finds all the libraries:

So far so good. However, when I launch t-engine, it just hangs with a black screen. The cmdline shows:

Code: Select all

$ ./t-engine

If I strace it, I can see this repeated hundreds of times per second:

Code: Select all

recvfrom(6, 0x1493cb4, 4096, 0, 0, 0)   = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(7, [6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})      = 0 (Timeout)

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, and it feels like I've *almost* succeeded. Where am I going wrong? I can easily add SDL_ttf-hg as well, but I didn't think a font engine would break the entire display.

Thanks in advance

Bump for the question.
I have the same error: black screen and nothing more.

gwmngilfen, this is in no way connected with SDL. I get the same error and it turns out that I had lua already installed in system - too old lua. I just remove it, clean/recompile source and everything run smoothly.

May be developers can propose better solution, because now I do not have lua at all...
