Or you could make a ghetto solution like I plan on doing, lol. Serial/Parallel input FTW.

I already managed to compile StepMania 3.9 from the source code, so I've already won an internet... looks like my drivers suck though.

For whatever reason, your copy of StepMania doesn't seem to be compiled with ALSA support. :/

What distro are you using?

[Alice]

The problem was is that I was missing ALSA.  I fixed that, but I also downloaded ffmpeg, and now it fails to compile.  Whoever released the StepMania source did a really shitty job (I've had to put three fix patches on it and it still won't compile properly).  Apparently my new problem can be fixed by getting an old version of ffmpeg but I don't know how to do that.

I might as well wait for the god damn cable and use the linux binary

[Spectere]

No, the problem is probably that Lua 5.1 and/or ffmpeg breaks support for older programs; the SM team has nothing to do with that.

[Alice]

The SM team should be around to fix their programs to be compatable with the newest shit around.

Anyway, after getting rid of ffmpeg (since I can't find the older version, and apparently the binary on the SM website doesn't have ffmpeg either) I got it to compile completely.  Then, it bitched about my video card (i810 I guess) not being able to work with OpenGL and that I should get a new driver.  I got the new driver but now it says I need a whole shitload of other shit that I can't seem to find (failed dependencies)

#MZX has been completely worthless for the past few hours.  Anybody here help?

[Spectere]

They do; that's why StepMania 4.0 works fine with all of that stuff (it's still in heavy development but it is pretty stable in my experience, for the most part).  You can't possibly expect them to maintain versions that are several years old to fix problems that don't even stem from their code, especially considering it's a fairly small development team.  Going through that large of a project to fix issues caused by new versions of libraries is an immense amount of work.

Anyway, are you getting those errors when you attempt to run the binary or when you build it?  If you're getting those problems after compiling it it would seem like there's a problem with your toolchain.  Those kind of errors are the result of a program being built against an older version of glibc (the C library -- a core system library).  Binary compatibility isn't maintained between many releases of glibc due to a number of factors; compiling is the only real way to solve that.

[Bobbias]

Damn good example of dependency hell.

[Alice]

The latest set of errors, I got from running RPM and trying to install my video card driver.  StepMania crashed because my video card couldn't handle OpenGL (apparently a problem with i810?  Anyway, it told me to update the drivers, and when I tried to, it gave me a crapload of dependencies that it needs that I have no idea what to do about).

[Spectere]

I had the i810 working in Gentoo before, direct rendering and all.

Start X and open Konsole/Terminal/Xterm/whatever.  Type "glxinfo | grep direct".  What does it say?

[Alice]

X won't even start.  It says it's already active.  It also says there's a file in /tmp that isn't.  WTF.

Albumix for pad.

For a pad game, get Mungyodance 2.

[Spectere]

X won't even start.  It says it's already active.  It also says there's a file in /tmp that isn't.  WTF.

Try going Ctrl+Alt+F7.  If it's running it should show up in that virtual "terminal."

Also, what distribution are you using?

For a pad game, get Mungyodance 2.

Seconded (Windows only for the full experience so you'll have to wait for the adapter).

Or you could wait for Mungyodance 3, which is somehow awesomer than MGD2.

[Alice]

Ctrl+Alt+F7 doesn't do anything.  I'm running Debian 4.0 "Etch"

[Spectere]

Hmm...

Type startx at the prompt and post the error lines that come up on the screen (they should have "(EE)" before them).  If you see a "no screens found," post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as well.
