[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv (PR#365)

[Martin Kenward <mkenward@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

        I am trying to install Freeciv on my system, I am running debian
2.1..

The error that I get is the one that is listed in the FAQ
of the freeciv webpage, but the suggested fix does not work

the error that I get is
#As reported with Debian 2.1: 
#
#
#
#      > make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/freeciv/client'
#       > Making all in gui-xaw
#       > make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/freeciv/client/gui-xaw'
#       > gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I. -I./.. -I./../include
#       > -I../../common -I../../intl  -I/usr/X11R6/include    -g -O2
#-Wall #-c
#       > pixcomm.c
#       > In file included from pixcomm.c:54:

#       > make[3]: *** [pixcomm.o] Error 1
#       [...]
#
#

        I tried the following fix, ie. to install xaw3dg, but this
did not remedy my problem. It still gives the same
error.
#       This is, again, an Xaw/Xaw3d confusion problem. In this particular
#case, the Debian xaw3dg package is not installed on the system. 
#


        I also tried the following fix.

#       One source of confusion is the Freeciv ./configure process, which
#does not support all the --with-X and --without-X that you might expect.
#To explicitly compile against plain Xaw
#       instead of Xaw3d, use 
         ./configure --enable-client=xaw [...]

        It compiles but when I run civ, it gives a segmentation fault
and dies.

Do you have any suggestions???
