Try "make datainstall" instead of "make data install".

I don't know what is happen, I was installed torcs by source.

./configure && make && make install && make data install

and when I execute it
$./torcs

Hi Bernhard,
Thanks for your reply. I guessed it to be so too. Anyway, I find that the
use of a third party frame/video capturing software, such as FRAPS, will be
more ideal if the function is to be used in conjunction with a human driver.
Just thought someone might be interested to conduct a similar experiment.

Regards,
Ryan

I see Vista isn't under the supported platforms, but gave it a shot anyways.
All the menus work, except it crashes every time I make a display change.
But when I try to race, I get the "Ready", and hear sounds, but all else is black.

Any chance I can run TopologiLinux or something similar to run the Linux version?

This is normal with the current implementation. The simulation renders the
required frames according to the settings (e.g. 30 frames per second in
"simulation time"). Because the writing to the disk and image encoding to png
requires quite some time the "simulation time" is not in sync with the "real
time", so it is best if you let do the robots the driving.

When you combine your captured images to a movie you will get a smooth video.

Great, I will announce it on the TORCS site. Very nice work. Thank you very much:-)

Hi all,

I have a USB steering wheel (Logitech Inc. WingMan Formula Force GP) which works
with jstest (jstest /dev/input/js0). I can "fly" with it in GL-117.

But I can't make TORCS recognize it! I try to follow instructions at
http://torcs.sourceforge.net/index.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=10&page=2
but nothing happens when I turn the wheel or press the buttons. There is no
[Calibrate] button on the screen.

TORCS does not recognize my Attack 3 joystick either. Running jscal does not help.

I have Fedora 7 which is updated to the latest packages available via yum:

torcs-1.3.0-1.fc7
plib-1.8.4-8.fc6   <-- this is from fc7 repositories despite of the name!
kernel-2.6.23.15-80.fc7

I have reported this in Fedora Bugzilla as well, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433503

Regards, JJ

Hello of friends and user of Torcs. After I transferred from Torcs 1.2.4  
to version 1.3.0 I miss painfully the drivers from the Olethros group.  I  
hope  among you  someone can make the enclosed olethros.dll from the  
version 1.2.4 for the version 1.3.0 executable. Then one could   miss   
with long distances more easily without the un-executable Hymie drivers.  
With hope for positive message of you h - j - s

I am trying to add an image from properties menu and then I choose show
background image.  But image does not come up?

Anyideas

Russell

p.s

Sure this has been asked before is place can download ready made tracks from
as I am looking for the F1 tracks and BTCC tracks.

If the computers claims a file doesn't exists, and I think it should exists, I 
usually check it myself and find out why the computers things it doesn't 
exists.

So in this case, take a file which causes a 
error: "/home/therealg/mywork/torcs-1.3.0/export/include/track.h". Check it 
with "ls /home/therealg/mywork/torcs-1.3.0/export/include/track.h". It 
properbly says it doesn't exists. Then you go up a directory, so you 
try "ls /home/therealg/mywork/torcs-1.3.0/export/include" until it doesn't 
cause an error message. Then you look closely to the files which does exists 
in the last directory (by replacing "ls" by "ls -l" on the directory which 
doesn't cause an error message). How to resolve that error depends on the 
results on the steps before, but usually adding symlinks works (or correcting 
a type error somewhere).

I would also suggest to not use the "My work" directory. You have a symlink, 
and it seems to need that symlink, so why not start by entering the Torcs 
source through the symlink. In this 
case, "cd /home/therealg/mywork/torcs-1.3.0" and then ./configure {options} 
and make.

Mart

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your reply.  The difference in the two paths seem to be the
problem.

However,
a)mywork is already a symbolic link to 'My work' folder ih /home/therealg/ -
i had created it to specifically avoid problems that arose due to blank
spaces within the folder name.
b)setting the MAKE_DEFAULT and TORCS_BASE doesn't seem to help.

I continue to get the same error message.. Could any other setting cause
this problem ?
Thanks again,
Aravind

This doesn't look as the right arguments for ./configure. /usr/include/X11 is 
a directory with include files and not with library files. I 
expect --x-libraries=/usr/lib (or something like that) is better, however it 
isn't the cause for the error messages.

If you look good to the error messages, you see two kinds of 
directories: /home/therealg/My work/... and /home/therealg/mywork/... . I 
expect the second directory doesn't exists. It seems to have difficulties 
with the capital letters and the space in the directory name.

The reason for it is in the values comes from the variables TORCS_BASE and 
MAKE_DEFAULT. If you set them yourself, change it to the right directory.

If that isn't the case, the best way to fix it is to make a symlink 
from /home/therealg/mywork to /home/therealg/My work. The following command 
should create that symlink:
ln -s /home/therealg/My\ work /home/therealg/mywork

Hi torcs users

I'm new to torcs and trying to install it on to my laptop(Ubuntu, gutsy
gibbon on x86).
I followed the instructions and did a  ./configure
--x-libraries=/usr/include/X11/ from within the torcs-1.3.0 folder.

When I do make, I get the following messages(below).  I think there is some
error. I'm able to do a make install and make datainstall but the
installation isn't getting completed. For example:-'torcs' executable isn't
extracted to /usr/local/bin(the default target). Also a folder for torcs is
not created in /usr/local/lib as mentioned in the installation instructions.


Could someone please advise me on what could be wrong?

Thanks
Aravind

I have constucted a new track called „The green Hell“.
It works very well and all the cars (include supercars) and original  
drivers run very fast.
But when the Program will initial the new Drivers from hymie_sc1.dll or  
hymie_sc2.dll
the Program ends without comments…..(no crash)
On all other (smaller) Tracks the hymie_sc drivers run without problems!!
The track-dates: Length=24650;   XSize=7448; YSize=3674
What is wrong in theese dll´s ???????   Who can repair it ?????

With many Thanks for your help
