VegaStrike Game

[Mark Guzzo]

Need my fix ;-)

I'm trying to install vegastrike either by CVS or the provided rpm file.
Either way I seem to be missing OpenAL. I know what it is, I just can't
seem to find it to install it. Has someone gotten Vegastrike to install
on Fedora Core 3? If so, could you please provide some insight as I seem
to have run out of ideas.

Hi,

Download the linux installer : 
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/files/linux_vegastrike-0.4.2.sh

and launch
# linux_vegastrike-0.4.2.sh 

chmod +x linux_vegastrike-0.4.2.sh before if necesary

Never tred it, but this would be the way I would do.

By the way, did you check the FAQ and the manual about installation on
Linux. And the forum ?

Well, their RPMs are terrible and fairly outdated.  They have hard
dependencies against strange package names (i.e. OpenAL) instead of
allowing RPM discover the dependencies.  And, the RPMS install
to /usr/local.  I forced the RPM to install with --nodeps but it
segfaults when calling into openal.

So, one would need to write a new RPM spec and rebuild everything from
source.  Or skip the RPM and just run their installer script.  Either
way you still need openal.


Add http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ repository then:
  yum install openal openal-devel


Create a new file named /etc/yum.repos.d/newrpms.repo containing:
[newrpms]
name=NewRPMS
baseurl=http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc3/
enabled=1


Then import the newrpms GPG key:
rpm --import http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/gpg-pubkey-newrpms.txt

I don't know if this helps, but I installed Flight Gear and later did a 
yum update.

yum update found that it needed openal and took care of it.

i wonder if now that you have the game installed (i'm assuming it went 
thru) if you can do a yum update?

Thanks,

Added http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ repository and now all is well :-)
