much Steve:-)

Not sure if this is the right place to send the info, or if it already 
exists, but I wanted to share my experiences having now got a building 
running version in VS2012.

1. Make sure the scripts work. For some reason VS creates a file 1.5M 
file ~\Tors\runtimed therefore non of the dev build scripts work cleanly 
as you get a file or directory exists error. Renamed to -old fixed 
issue. Run scripts again.

2. As the Windows libraries were built on an older version, and I do not 
have the source code to rebuild them, you will get multiple errors such as:

Error    16    error LNK2026: module unsafe for SAFESEH image. 
D:\Torcs\src\modules\track\sg.lib(sgd.obj)    track

From
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9a89h429.aspx

I learnt to go into each project except TORCS and in 
Properties-Configuration Properties-Linker-Command Line add /SAFESEH:NO 
into the Additional Options.

Again sorry if this is the wrong place ( where is right) or it is old news.

Steve

Hi Poul

No, the patch is not included into "stock" TORCS from the TORCS site, 
but I guess they plan to port it to 1.3.4, see 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/racingcompetition/gm2WN5tWHpA

Nobody asked for integration so far, I did not review and think about it 
so far, but maybe it happens some day.

I do not know any details, I just loosely follow here and then some news 
about it (because they do really cool stuff, and it is nice to see when 
TORCS gets actually used), but you can ask about it in the group above, 
or have a look at the documentation provided here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cig/files/SCR%20Championship/Manual

 From the Videos I have seen on youtube I would guess that it is 
possible to have remote clients only, but the visualization happens just 
on the server, as far as I saw it, but I might be wrong.

Best regards

Bernhard

Hi

No problem, you are welcome. Did you manage to compile/install/run it 
now, what was the solution (maybe someone else will hit the same problem 
some day, so he might find it when searching)?

Best regards

Hi Guys :)

I am teaching programming programming at an academy in Odense, Denmark. And
I would like to use torcs with the server patch in my python classes.

Currently I use torcs 1.3.1 and a server patch from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cig/files/SCR Championship/Server
Linux/1.0/scr-linux-patch.tgz
is this server patch included in newer versions of torcs?

I am able to run a race with multiple python clients connecting to the
server - but only if I have a local player in the race. I would like to be
able to run races with only python clients, and still see the race, and I
was hoping to find a spectator mode or similar... no luck so far. Can you
tell me if this is possible (and how)?

kind regards

Poul

Hi again

For nostalgia I just tried to build 1.2.4 on my system, result:
- configure goes through without problems
- build breaks, because of old header definitions, you will need to 
replace the "old style headers" with new ones (e.g. "new.h" with "new").

I would strongly recommend to go with 1.3.4 instead.

Best regards

Bernhard

Hi Charles

Ok, I can show you what I do in such cases:
1.
Cut out the failing program from config.log (attached), failing tests 
show the code in the config.log.

2.
Try to compile it on the command line with the given command from 
config.log (adopted to the filename where you have saved the code, for 
me this is now:
g++ -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -fPIC -O2 -DUSE_RANDR_EXT 
-DGL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES   -L test.cpp -lm

Result:
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In 
function `_start':
/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.14.1/csu/../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S:109: 
undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

AHA!

3.
Fiddle with the command, I added -v to get more information:
g++ -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -fPIC -O2 -DUSE_RANDR_EXT 
-DGL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES   -L test.cpp -lm -v

undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

4.
Analyse carefully: ... -Ltest.cpp ... oh? -L is for giving linking 
directories, so this -L might be the cause (maybe this worked with old 
gcc versions or comes in for some weird reason on your system, maybe old 
autotools put this into the TORCS 1.2.4 configure script, I can just 
guess from here)?

5.
Try changed command:
  g++ -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -fPIC -O2 -DUSE_RANDR_EXT 
-DGL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES test.cpp -lm

Result:
Works like a charm

Now how to resolve this, possibilities:
- Edit directly "configure" (might be delicate, but just try)
- or regenerate configure script (cd into the torcs source directory, 
where configure is located, run the commands in sequence (this might 
fail because your autotools might not work with the old configure.in etc.):
aclocal
autoheader
automake
autoconf
- or use a more recent TORCS version (1.3.4)

Best regards

Bernhard

Hi

If you like to support TORCS to get the project of the month vote here: http://twtpoll.com/9mtfaj

Best regards

Bernhard

First of all, my apologies because I emailed about this same problem a few weeks ago.
The thing is I didn't get very far and pretty much gave up.  
My problem is that the config.log file says it can't find find libm.  I've found "libm.so.6" and "libm-2.15.so" under /lib/i386-linux-gnu.
 - Are they part of the solution?  If so how do I get them in the configure process?
 - Also, how can I use the config.log file myself if there are any problems later?  I don't want to have to use this mailing list everytime I have a problem.

The bigger problem here may be the fact that I'm completely new to ubuntu and this style of computing.  For instance I think I've only just figured out what repositories and dependencies are (I think), so please talk to me like I'm an absolute idiot if you're going to reply :)


This is for a university project so any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks :)
Charles 


 
 

All the tracks and paint schemes are now available at
http://stdesigns.orgfree.com/. Forget about the old filehosting links I
gave you earlier. 

I've added a few more paint schemes and done more polishing on the seven
ovals I had released earlier, editing both textures and track settings.
Hm-speedway can now be run with simuv2 (so with a default installation)
without major issues, and stock car lap times are more realistic
(robots, on the other hand, keep flying, breaking track records left and
right). I managed to take care of the ridiculous sloping of the pit road
on mr-speedway as well. Still, many issues remain unsolved, listed in
the track readme files. I hope someone can pitch in and guide me
forward.

If some of the links don't work (I didn't test all paint scheme links,
while track downloads have been tested) or you have other relevant
questions, please read the instructions on the contact page before
contacting me. 

Further updates will be posted on that site, so (most of) you will be
spared from this flood of messages.
