Taking sumwars 0.5.5~svn-r2653-1 as starting point.

The game crashes after start.

Went looking for the bug report on Mantis and it's missing, might need to re-report?

[C.Lee Taylor (leenx-leet)]

Searching Mantis, found the bug report - http://sumwars.org/mantis/view.php?id=68

[C.Lee Taylor (leenx-leet)]

Took a read of the Build instructions and found the following - http://sumwars.org/wiki/Build_instructions#Precise_Pangoline_.2812.04.29_and_newer

Make sure you enable SUMWARS_NO_TINYXML in cmake-gui! Otherwise you will get a weird segfault because of a conflict between CEGUI tinyxml parser and bundled sumwars tinyxml.
After the first start of the game (which will fail, telling you it can't find RenderSystem_GL), edit your ~/.sumwars/plugins.cfg or ./.sumwars/plugins.cfg (depending on portable mode) and set the PluginFolder to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.7.4 (the i386-linux-gnu middle is different on non-32bit archs, use your wits to find it if you are not on 32bit!)

Not sure if we can work this into the package build?

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Thanks for figuring this out.

Did not see this build instruction. Now the game starts fine.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Package has been built for precise.
