linux bzedit compile problems

[derfaust]

cool.... now i have my server up....

now i want to make maps.... i use slackware 9.1 with the 2.4.26 kernel....k

when i try to ./configure bzedit-2.1.... it goes for a bit and then i get this error ....
"configure: error: Cannot find gtkglarea"

i follwed through and located gtkglarea-1.99.0....it compiled and installed without a hitch(./configure, make, make install).....bzedit still gave the same error.... i then located gtkglarea-1.2.2....it installed .....still the same error....i even tried a reboot(sometimes helps).....no dice...

hrmmm???? i even tried running bzedit for Windows in winex.....but like most programs run with winex it doesnt work quite right....

anyway, i would reall like to get the linux version of bzedit to work.....

thanks for your time and i look forware to getting this thing to work.....

i see.....how do you specify the prefix of gtkglarea???...that makes sense....it is installed but the two progs cant find each other....???....how do i tell the compiler the location??.....

thanks

I fixed most of the bugs in BzEdit 2.1 for linux source code. I had lots of problems with gtkglarea 2.0 (1.99). Replace gtkglarea with GtkGLExt. BzEdit uses some old GTK API. I had to update GTK to new API to get the code to compile.

Name changed from bzedit to bzfed. BzfEd runs under the GNOME-2.x / GTK+-2.4 environment on Linux, and uses OpenGL / gtkglext for visualization. BzfEd is based on bzedit 2.1 source code by David Trowbridge, Dan Kuester, and Jeff Myers.

This is a maintenance release of the old source code of bzedit 2.1. Source code will compile and run now. No new features at this time to the source code and no new features introduced by BZFlag 2.0. Next release will start to add BZFlag 2.0 features.
