opengpl issues

[obould]

Hello

When trying to play on ubuntu 14.04 I get an error concerning opengpl. Is there a version of pioneer out there that is backwards compatible with older opengpl versions?

Best regards.

"opengpl"? You mean "OpenGL" yes?

There's older versions that ran on OpenGL 2.0 but currently Pioneer requires OpenGL 3.x. If you wanted to resurrect the old GL2 code then I could help you do that but part of the reason it was removed was that I was finding it a pain to work with.

Please see the FAQ on our wiki. It describes your options.

Yes I mean OpenGL :)
It turns out my vga card does not support opengl 3 (it s an older intel graphics card, updating drivers did not help). So I cannot play this game. Guess I will play Oolite instead.

Best regards

@obould
On our wiki FAQ there's a guide for how to play older version wich does support your card.
For GNU/Linux id does require building it from source, which is not as difficult as it might sound.

Thanx, I tried to compile the version of november 28 2014 but I keep getting errors like:
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Any ideas?

That error doesn't tell me much, perhaps someone else knows more.
Until then, I'd recommend checking that all dependencies are installed, and that you did a:

Code: Select all

./bootstrap
./configure

without any errors. then just run make.
