The dark mod / doom3 in Linux

@troubled: It's possible that your glibc is newer than the one that was used to compile the shipping Linux binary - Gentoo is always fairly bleeding-edge, as I understand it, and does have a philosophy about building everything yourself. There might be another way to fix it, I'm not sure, but if you're up to compiling it yourself then I'd say go for it.

 

There's a rough compilation guide on the wiki but it does expect that you are already familiar with building software on your platform (and I don't just mean via Gentoo's "emerge" command, that's cheating and not available in this case ).

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

FWIW my installed glibc is 2.9_p20081201-r2 which is Gentoo's latest stable version for x86 & amd64. My only installed gcc is 4.3.4, also the current stable version for those arches. All working fine with TDM.

 

$ ldd ~/.doom3/darkmod/gamex86.so

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7f5d000)

libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/32/ libstdc++.so.6 (0xf71f3000)

libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf71cd000)

libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf71bf000)

libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf707c000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f5e000)

 

Good luck troubled_thief.

Sorry for leaving the perhaps relevant info out, my system is 32-bit with gcc-4.1.2 as system compiler, same glibc as you free_cogg (2.9_p20081201-r2), a mostly stable system (a few game related parts are ~x86). I never upgraded to 4.3.x since I had some problems with it (and I read some things about the kernel miscompilation). Since this is a single user system (i.e. only used by me) I've also installed doom3 via the accompanying installer in my $HOME. However, since my first post I've searched around for a solution and it seems that 4.1.2 doesn't support GLIBCXX-3.4.9. Anyway, I've been meaning to try out the new gcc 4.4.2, waiting for it to become stable, but I've installed it (with graphite support ) just for the heck of it (gcc-4.1.2 still system compiler until 4.4.2 stabilizes) and tdm_launcher.linux works fine; I can play TDM! I just have to switch to gcc-4.4.2 when running TDM (via gcc-config)... hopefully not forgetting to reset it to 4.1.2, when finished...

 

Crispy: Yes, I did make a feeble attempt at compiling TDM but I never got it working. I do have some experience with building software (and some C programming) but I haven't had time to look at this in any depth.

 

Thanks free_cogg & Crispy for the feedback!

Cool, glad to hear you got it working! I'll put a note in the wiki about GCC versions.

Thank you for contributing to TDM! It's a seriously cool game! Well, perhaps a few rough edges but it has potential to be even better than the original Thief series, imho.

 

Best regards
