Hi,
I like `xonix' quite a lot. This game is so fun!
But I prefer to play it from the console, rather than in an X window. The
game originally written without X11 support. Here is man page xonix(6x):
The original xonix game has been seen somewhere on an old PC/XT clone.
This is a reimplementation from scratch, done by Torsten
Schoenitz
starting the project on a Macintosh. The X11 support has been
written
by Joerg Wunsch with the pleasant help by Alfredo Herrera Hernandez.
I tried this:
$ apt-get source xonix
$ cd ./xonix-1.4/
$ ln -s ./Makefile.std ./Makefile
$ #'cuz `make' looks for Makefile, without .std extention
This does not compile, since I did not run the following:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep xonix
And since I am not building for X11, I actually do not need (most) of those
dependencies! So I am not installing them.
Question is:
In the Makefile.std, a MACRO called USE_X11 was defined. Which was also
defined in xonix.h. I tried to fix Makefile.std into this:
#EXTRA_DEFINES= -DUSE_X11="0" -DXONIXDIR=\"$(XONIXDIR)\" $(CUTE)
EXTRA_DEFINES= -DXONIXDIR=\"$(XONIXDIR)\"
And then run `make'.
Here is the output:
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xos.h', needed by
`xonix.o'. Stop.
Or I tried building directly calling gcc:
gcc -UUSE_X11 ./xonix.c
In file included from ./xonix.c:42:0:
./xonix.h:171:1: error: unknown type name ‘Boolean’
extern Boolean gQuit, /* Wenn gQuit auf true
gesetzt */
^
In the code, it was said that the <X11/Xos.h> provides Boolean.
So, how to build this little piece of game without X11 support?
Best，
