Celestia Forums

Hi to all,
I have recently downloaded the latset SVN version of Celestia.I have used yum and read the linux section of the celestia wiki to get the dependencies I needed to build.
I first ran make -f Makeifle.cvs but I ran into an error,so after reading the forum,I found the post that by running autoreconf -iv,I ready to urn ./configure.
The ./configure options and build log are in a txt file called compile error.txt I have attached with this new post.The error I got when I ran gmake is this:


I'll try and provide as much info as I can.My graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce 6,800 GT,my monitor id a A.D.I Microscan G1000.I am currently using the latest Nouveau drivers,along with drm and mesa that I compile all three from their git repositories.
Here is the gcc version from Fedora 11 Alpha:

And here is the LIBGL_DEBUG="verbose" glxinfo output:


I hope somebody can help me with my problem.

Hi John,
I am aware the Nouvau only has 2D acceleration on it's own.Hence why I also complie the Mesa development code and DRM from the git repositories to try and get the experimental 3D supporthttp://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/GalliumHowto.I compile all 3 from their sperate repositories,I have had some success building the development version of Mesa,but at present,it's not building properly,and I'm waiting for the latest updates until it compiles correctly again. I only used the nouveau package from Fedora once when I first installed the distribution.I haven't touched the two Nvidia packages.

I do hold a lot of my source code in my tmp directory,as I thought it wouldn't matter if I stored it there,I can try the opt directory if that can make a difference,but I don't think it would.

Selden,can I ask which file extensions are acceptable to attatch files to forum posts?

Hi John,
No worries,I wish I could state which other programs I have ran with a successfully compiled Mesa,but Mesa isn't compiling properly with Gallium-Nouveau just yet.I'll guess I'll have to wait patiently until the commits correct the probelms.
I'm sure you're aware that Mesa-7.4-rc1 is coming out,and I'm sure it will be a matter of days when it hits the various distribution repos,so I think there could be some hope yet

I like to thank you very much for trying to help me,I will try those configure options when things are compiling smoothly again.I will try and reporrt back if celestia builds fine then.

On a side note,I know glxgears isn't a proper benchmark,but apart from Phoronix's tools there isn't much else.When I did get a successful compile of Mesa and ran glxgears,I was getting frame rates of about 800fps,just as a rough idea.

You can ask, but I can't answer. ChrisL did that configuration. The Admin page shows only that three attachments are allowed per post, with a maximum individual size of 256KB. JPG, PNG and Zip seem to work.
