Problems compiling from source in linux, Screen.o, strlen, memset error

[Katt]

Hi. I tried to compile from source today. This is what stopped the buidling, I guess.

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.    -fno-exceptions -finline-limit=300   -g -O2  -MT Screen.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/Screen.Tpo -c -o Screen.o Screen.cpp
In file included from global.h:158,
                 from Screen.cpp:1:

Any suggestions? :)

Reason for compiling, the binary refuses to die when I exit stepmania. I have no idea why, no mysterious output in the terminal either. kill [pid] works though, but I hoped to avoid that.

Hey I am new to the site and I down loaded Stepmania on my laptop and I downloaded to songs in a way I was not suposed to. instead of saveing them to a folder I opened the song and installed it directly into the game. it worked for awhile. then this one song came up by HUGO FUKT and it completely skrewed up my stepmania file. I can no longer play it because I dont know how to get rid of that song from the game. I tried deleting it from my laptop and then redownloading the game but the song HUGO FUKT is still there. does anyone know how to fix this? if so please email me the details to my email address instead thanks. vampireheart_69@yahoo.com

I tried also on my x86_64 machine but came out with this-

You're compiling StepMania on GCC 4.3, and GCC 4.3 requires some headers to be used that previously weren't needed. Add the following to global.h:

#include <climits>
#include <cstring>
#include <memory>

[modmadmike]

sry to be a idiot but were is my global.h file, i did a search but no go

That got me much farther than before, but now when I run make I get:
ScreenOptionsMasterPrefs.cpp:148: error: explicit template specialization cannot have a storage class

Looks like prusnak patched the source to address the make problem.
stepmania-gcc43.patch


Download sm4 source, unpack to folder, patch source using the file from the above link.
Make sure you've installed all the libs you'll need (like ffmpeg, MAD and theora) as the make may not necessarily error out on them, but you'll miss the resulting functionality.

Then I ran make and make install and voila! 64 bit Stepmania with no crash!
And, on my laptop no less (video is ati mobile x1300), able to run full speed at 1440X900. Yay!
I was not able to do so with the pre-compiled binaries under 32 bit linux.

thanks that seems to have fixed it so far (Still compiling). I can't believe i didn't know where it was last time!

[modmadmike]

NVM it didn't work. I tried
$ patch ~/Downloads/stepmania-gcc43.patch
in the StepMania-CVS-20080103-src directory.
am I doing this right? because its just sitting there without opening a new prompt.

[modmadmike]

nvm got the patch to install by
$ patch -p1 -i ~/Downloads/stepmania-gcc43.patch
thx!
