Linux Vendetta only links against GL and GLU; we didn't need glut, SDL, or whatever else. Right, the updater is a totally different ball of wax. That uses gtk+ 1.2, I believe. Other than that, standard 32-bit libc and libm are all you need. Various libraries link to libz, glib, etc, but Vendetta itself doesn't.

Wow. This is OT, but it's cool that you made an entire engine without even the help of simple GLUT/SDL primatives (cameras, spheres, etc). Cool.

Thanks guys, it's working now. I have to recompile the kernel to get sound but that's no problem.

Appreciate your help.

It's running super smooth too

Vendetta doesn't, but hte updater does. I would think that vendetta uses glut, but I don't see much evidence of that either. Maybe SDL? Or maybe they made their own widget control system thingy. Beats me.

You'll need a 32-bit build of libc, zlib, and libGL presumably. Does vendetta really use gtk+? It's not linked against it.

Do all OTHER gtk1 apps work for you? Like... umm... How about xchat? A simple gtk1 install shouldn't take long and will be a good test of gtk1.2 performance.


USE="gtk -gtk2" emerge /usr/portage/net-irc/xchat/xchat-1.8.11.ebuild


Run that and tell me if the "xchat" command works.

It should work fine. the x86_64 appears as 32bit to user processes. Have you done the following:

USE="gtk gtk2" emerge xfree gtk+ /usr/portage/x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r10.ebuild

You need gtk1 for vendetta

I did emerge the 1.2 gtk but I compiled it 64 along with the rest of gnome. I think I might try compiling the entire 1.2 gtk m32.

Any other libs I should emerge?

Thanks rougelazer.

anyone know a way to make vendetta work on a gentoo (kernel 2.6-9) x86_64 (athlon 64). i emerged the gtk+,base and xlib 32 emulation stuff but no luck. I get the checking/download window but when it comes time to launch it can't create a window. I don't mind switching over to a 32bit install but just curious
