Pioneer dev forum

I came across this project after installing frontierGL and enjoying a bit of reminiscing.

Firstly, I love what you have done, it looks and plays great. (good enough for me to register just so I can tell you).

I had a small problem installing, I use Gentoo Linux, and the Binary that you supply fails with a
libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error.
Building from source worked great though. Go figure!

My only real gripe so far is that I'm currently (failing) a taxi mission because I hyperspaced into Iocan 400+AU away from my destination. It's taken me over half an hour in real time at maximum time-acceleration and I still have 71AU to. Guess the passenger won't be paying me for this trip :(

On the plus side, ISTR frontier used to do that whenever you went to a binary system, so it is consistent with the original.

Cheers

You can cycle trough each star in a multi-star system, when you target it for hyperspace. Just click on the star again, or select it in the system overview.

ABout the binary fail, I'm guessing you don't have the right version of libpng installed (or any version, maybe ?), and we don't bundle it with the executable as we (well, whoever took care of that anyway) considered it was part of any self-respecting Linux system. Obviously, we were wrong :-)

I did a quick Google, and came up with this:

Post #4 gave me my answer.

checking my system I currently use libpng16

rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Dec 19 19:53 /usr/lib/libpng.so -> libpng16.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Dec 19 19:53 /usr/lib/libpng16.so -> libpng16.so.16.15.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Dec 19 19:53 /usr/lib/libpng16.so.16 -> libpng16.so.16.15.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 220176 Dec 19 19:53 /usr/lib/libpng16.so.16.15.0

tried doing a quick & dirty link, but that just returned other fails :(

./pioneer: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by ./pioneer)
./pioneer: /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found (required by ./pioneer)

Guess I'll just use the source code for now
