Freeciv Binaries

Freeciv Binaries

[Russell K. Thompson II]

	I was wondering if anyone has been able to run the freeciv binaries
available from
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Weiser_Michael/B20/
on Windows 95.  My server will run fine but when I run the client I get
the following message

BASH.EXE-2.02$ civclient
1: Using fallback resources - which is OK
1: Your getpwuid call failed.  Please report this.
[main] C:\CYGNUS\USR\LOCAL\BIN\CIVCLIENT.EXE 1001 (0) handle_exceptions:
Excepti
on: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
[main] CIVCLIENT 1001 (0) handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to
CIVCLIENT.EX
E.core
BASH.EXE-2.02$
	When this happens my X server crashes.

	My X server is X-Win32 from starnet.  If anyone has any ideas please
let me know.
THank You.

As the README states:

   - system
     - WinNT 4.0 SP3 with cygwin B20.1 and egcs-1.1.1

it hasn't been tested on any Win9x system.

It also states

   - notes
     - civclient still (like on B19) tends to core-dump at a certain
       maximum shell environment size or number of environment
       variables. Unfortunately there seems to be no specific point
       when this limit is reached. So just try.

so there are problems even on NT! Perhaps this is exactly your
problem,too?

I had ported FreeCIV some time ago under b19 and b20 on Win98 and both
server and client were working quite fine, even for some 2 hour sessions
(using X-Win32 from StarNet).

I may put my port as binary and source form to our project's web site if
there is interest.

Stipe

RE: Freeciv Binaries

I'd just like to mention that I was running Freeciv with Cygwin 19.1 under
Win 95 fine.  No crashes or core dumps.  It was just slow when the game
had many units active (later in the game).

When I upgraded to 20 I had so many problems that I stopped running Cygwin
under 95 (nothing to do with Freeciv though) and began running under NT.

I have absolutely *no* problems running Freeciv under Cygwin 20.1 and NT.

It even compiles with no changes (as long as you have an install that knows
about .exes).

I am using Exceed (commercial X server) though.  I don't know if that's the
difference.

RE: Freeciv Binaries

[Todd Goodman]

You can try out a beta 20.1 cygwin build+installer at
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Corner/2874 .

Please rename the .zip to .exe and run it.

Please let me know of any comments/criticisms/suggestions/problems.

Thank you,

As I mentioned in the README, civclient tends to crash. I haven't been
able to figure out why, yet. One reason seems to be environment space.
Try to unset all variables not needed to run civclient. At least for
me that solves the problem. Another solution is to *not* use and hence
not set FREECIV_DATADIR and instead run civclient in a directory
containing the datafiles in a dir named 'data'. If that doesn't help
too I'm outof ideas. Perhaps you could try compiling yourself for your
particular system.

For more on this see my post to the list from 98/9/17 20:20:01 GMT
named 'environment space limit in cygwin32?' and it's follow-ups. The
main Problem seems to be a call to XtAppAddTimeOut at line 403 in
xmain.c causing the following XtVaGetValues to SIGSEGV. Unfortunately
I don't have the time and knowledge to research this in detail.

I'll try to find out more anyway.

>BASH.EXE-2.02$ civclient

This is normal.

>1: Your getpwuid call failed.  Please report this.
This is new to me. Maybe you don't have a valid /etc/passwd?

This is exactly what I get when running civclient without the above
mentioned precautions.

That shouldn't happen, or at least it doesn't happen for me using the
same Server demo version 4.1 build 6.

Hope I could help.

As far as I know Andy's distribution bases on Sergey's patches to
X11R6.4 adding some additional ones for making xemacs run smoothly.
Also AFAIK Arlindo's binaries are completely independent of these two.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

>Did anyone compare the merits and unique features of these ports? Any recommendation?
To me Arlindo's distribution seems more complete since it already
includes some window managers, rxvt and (useful for freeciv :-)
libXpm. On the other hand it took longer to be available for B20.1
which was the reason I had to use Sergey's binaries first and compile
libXpm myself first to make freeciv run (just as an example). Of
course I don't know if this will be the same for any upcoming release
of Cygwin.

You can try out a beta 20.1 cygwin build+installer at
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Corner/2874 .

Please rename the .zip to .exe and run it.

Please let me know of any comments/criticisms/suggestions/problems.

Thank you,

In addition there is also Andy Piper's on ftp.franken.de...

Did anyone compare the merits and unique features of these ports? Any recommendation?

Hello Russell, you wrote:

>the following message
As I mentioned in the README, civclient tends to crash. I haven't been
able to figure out why, yet. One reason seems to be environment space.
Try to unset all variables not needed to run civclient. At least for
me that solves the problem. Another solution is to *not* use and hence
not set FREECIV_DATADIR and instead run civclient in a directory
containing the datafiles in a dir named 'data'. If that doesn't help
too I'm outof ideas. Perhaps you could try compiling yourself for your
particular system.

For more on this see my post to the list from 98/9/17 20:20:01 GMT
named 'environment space limit in cygwin32?' and it's follow-ups. The
main Problem seems to be a call to XtAppAddTimeOut at line 403 in
xmain.c causing the following XtVaGetValues to SIGSEGV. Unfortunately
I don't have the time and knowledge to research this in detail.

I'll try to find out more anyway.

This is normal.

This is new to me. Maybe you don't have a valid /etc/passwd?

This is exactly what I get when running civclient without the above
mentioned precautions.

That shouldn't happen, or at least it doesn't happen for me using the
same Server demo version 4.1 build 6.

Hope I could help.

Freeciv Binaries

[Russell K. Thompson II]

	I was wondering if anyone has been able to run the freeciv binaries
available from
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Weiser_Michael/B20/
on Windows 95.  My server will run fine but when I run the client I get
the following message

BASH.EXE-2.02$ civclient
1: Using fallback resources - which is OK
1: Your getpwuid call failed.  Please report this.
[main] C:\CYGNUS\USR\LOCAL\BIN\CIVCLIENT.EXE 1001 (0) handle_exceptions:
Excepti
on: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
[main] CIVCLIENT 1001 (0) handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to
CIVCLIENT.EX
E.core
BASH.EXE-2.02$
	When this happens my X server crashes.

	My X server is X-Win32 from starnet.  If anyone has any ideas please
let me know.
THank You.
