I love solaris

Anywho, OldMan is setup. penguin can walk you thru the prep work he did for the linux port a while back, mostly things like renaming files lower case, etc, but, he's the man who started it.

And hopefully, he's got us some new spiffy cross platform movie code

Just to post my opinion.. I HATE Solaris.. the only two worse things are AIX and Sun OS.. oughh!!!! Specially when running in a 200 Kg Sun Station that makes more noise than a train (and is placed only 3 meters from your work desk)

Already talked to penguim... and someday we will have our ascii text only console version of FS2 !!! With PC speaker sound .. and serial RS232 communication system for multiplayer.

Err did I say that? I must be more tired than I thought...

I have tried it also because I haven't the MSVC.

It hasn't worked : :

and part of config.log where the error  is described :

Should I disable a certain part of the code ?

OK, I finally got the autoconf to work with DX8, so we can have the movie code included.

Because I'm sick of fighting with Autoconf I required the dx8 include files and libs to be in a fixed place.  When I catch my breath, I'll make it more flexible.  But for now:

• DX8 include files must be in C:\dx8\include
  
• DX8 lib files must be in C:\dx8\lib

Also see the note earlier in this thread regarding the libdxguid.a library in /mingw/lib -- rename it to old-libdxguid.a or something so that the DX8 version will be linked instead.

It works for me now... anxiously awaiting feedback
