floating point exception

Hello,

I can seem to find any FAQs or mailing list archives mentioned
on the icculus site so I'm asking this list...

I've compiled quake2-r0.15 fine and followed the installation
instructions carefully.  However when I start quake2 or sdlquake2
they both quit out on a floating point exception as soon just
after you start a game and get the 'loading' graphic on the black
screen.  Its just after the music on the CD starts up, but before
you see any of the game.  The introductory video plays OK and
if I hit space just after starting the game, the option menus work
fine.  I've tried it using svgalib and X, with both quake2 and
sdlquake2 and get the same problem.  I've also tried it with both
the full CD data and the demo download data, exactly as described
in the readme in the quake2-r0.15 tar, same problem with both.

I'm using linux 2.4.20 on a system installed from Slackware 8.1
- not too old, not too new.  libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.4 is the SDL libary
on my system.  System is an AMD XP2200 with 512 meg of ram with a
PCI voodoo 4 3dfx video card (32 meg of ram I think), 200 gig of
disk space using 2 IDE drives.  I've got all the libraries needed
for the hardware 3d rendering for flight gear installed and working
(glide, glut etc), but I'm just trying to get quake2 working with
software rendering under svgalib first.

Compiling CVS version?

Hello,

I'm having some trouble building the CVS version...

make build_release
<normal stuff>
gcc -Wall -pipe -Dstricmp=strcasecmp -O2 -ffast-math -funroll-loops 
-falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 -falign-functions=2 -g 
-DLINUX_VERSION='"3.21+rCVS"' -fPIC  -o releasei386/ref_gl/rw_sdl.o -c 
src/linux/rw_sdl.c -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -DOPENGL
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `src/linux/rw_linux.c', needed by 
`releasei386/ref_gl/rw_linux.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/io-q2/quake2'
make: *** [build_release] Error 2

I can build r15 just fine, but I'm intrested in the native ALSA support 
in CVS, if anyone has any tips, they would be greatly apprecated.

-Chris

Re: floating point exception

Hello,

OK, so who is actually on this list, is there any way of
telling?  Or even better is there any way of reading old
posts?

I still wouldn't mind getting this working on my system.
Can anyone give me any comments, for instance details of
their x86 linux systems they've managed to get quake2-r0.15
working on?  (amount of ram, compiler version, kernel version,
version of libraries, type of processor, graphics card, etc).

Anyone had it working on a 2.4.x kernel?  I tried upgrading
to linux 2.4.26 and that didn't fix it.

Has anyone had it working on slackware?  If so what release?
(cat /etc/slackware-version).

As been as the problem is about at the time it starts processing
the game data, has anyone had quake2-r0.15 working with the
'demo' data installed exactly like the readme says?  I have the
full CD, but I pressume theres different versions.

I'm an experienced unix C coder (no graphics, C++ or x86 asm
experience though), anyone suggest a source file I could start
putting a few printf()s in to try and narrow the problem
down?

Anyone any other ideas?  I really don't want to use a
precompiled binary.
