i usually start programming something else, like a game, or i read one of my many computer science books. i also design electronic devices, like robots and stuff.

As for the mentions of sports.. boring.. not at all interesting to say the least..

Hehe, I challenge you to say that when you're paddling a grade 4 whitewater river, trying to avoid the soul-destroying rocks and aiming for the 'safe' 20ft waterfall!

And AJ: unlucky! I'd do the assessment myself but I can only assess up to 2*. Sorry!

Also when I'm bored I create some MP3s in Fruityloops. Right now I'm created a remix from Grieg's "In The Hall of Mountain King", it's a techno to be precise. It's loud and noisey, just like the original version, and to be precise, this versions is sooo loud it can blow up your speakers/amplifier if you would set it into the too high gear.

But at least the original music is in there (in a 80's style

) It can be used for testing speakers etc. I wonder how the "hard drive speaker" would sound with this one.

If anyone wants it to hear, here it is:
http://inflater.hostuju.cz/In%20The%20H ... 20King.mp3
(You may need to right-click and select Save As in order to download properly. The file size is 2,15 MB if its downloaded correctly.)

WARNING: Do NOT use headphones to hear it, or else you may suffer your ear drum explode, like this is for real

Comments welcome

Make your hard drive to play Jingle Bells... after all, if you're here you should know how to move it's head.

Make your hard drive to play Jingle Bells...

I'm sorry as I do not have any wrecked hard drive lying around here (except that attempt to do the failed "hard disk speaker" project, but it is dunno where now, maybe at the city dump?

)

I play music through my monitor, like this: http://www.erikyyy.de/tempest/

inflater · Post by **inflater** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 11:45 am

Yeah Dex, I'm trying to run that under Win32, if I would have some older laptop I would install unix/linux to it

Hmm, I should make some "revivals" of oldskool classics like Video Killed the Radio Star or Japanese Boy, altough I didn't lived at 1980's I heard that music in GTA:VC and it was kickass for the time being

By the way, this is great [Czecho-]slovak oldskool that I liked in when I was young (1 year old?

)

It's 16 year old I think, and for the time being it was cool though - and his glasses...

I installed cygwin and runned it. What the hell next ?

tempest won't work on LCD monitors inflater, It's CRT specific AFAIK..

I knew that, dont worry, my (shared) testbed has a CRT monitor (but, the monitor is mine, muhehehehe!

)

Okay here we go: man ls. List directory contents? hmm

Jozef Bogin@jozef ~
$ ls

Jozef Bogin@jozef ~

Oh no it doesnt work

Oh yeah, ls / works

What do you think about my "remix" ?

//EDIT: Just compiling SDL to get Tempest for Eliza working. I have read that I must type ./configure if I want to compile something, and then, make, and then make install. Right?

inflater:

Code: Select all

pwd : print current working directory
cd : change directory (duh!)
ls : list files (you know that one already)
gcc : c compiler. but, most projects use automake....
./configure : runs a script called configure in the current dir. Initial setup script for all automake programs.
make clean : cleans out the old garbage object files lying around
make : builds everything
make install : symlinks everything to the right place. (you may have to run this as root)
su : super-user mode (logs in as root)
sudo : perform following command as super-user.

That should get you started at least! normally, to build a package, go to it's directory and type

Code: Select all

./configure
make 
sudo make install

Yeah I found my old pc magazines from 2002 or such - and there it was, "Compiling games under Linux" - ./configure, make, make install

Okay, so Tempest for Eliza needs SDL. So I downloaded the source, put it into /usr/sdl, and up you go, ./configure.
And this is a bigger log of ./configure, there were some warnings so I listed them.

So what now? I think I should download the newest binary of gcc for cygwin, am I right?

Offtopic, but it's general ramblings forum.

//EDIT: Oh my, I haven't installed gcc in cygwin

(downloading now) - But how it could run by simply typing "gcc" at the command line? Oh, it is the DJGPP GCC

Okay, so I have successfully compiled SDL in cygwin. It says that the libraries were placed in /usr/local/lib.
Now, when I have libSDL compiled, and want to compile Tempest for Eliza, the configure process will exit with this:

Code: Select all

checking whether c++ accepts -g... yes
checking for sdl-config... /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 1.0.0... no
*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means SDL was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the sdl-config script: /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
configure: error: *** SDL version  not found!

Why?

Anyone can point me please what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you.

I suspect it's having some sort of issue locating shared object files when attempting to execute an SDL test program..

Try this.. for now, report any additional errors..

Code: Select all

./configure --disable-sdltest

Adding any other additional configure flags you used.. Good luck..

Well, I didn't use any additional flags, just ./configure, make and make install for SDL, and ./configure and the unsuccessful make to TfE.
