Future stable branch 1.4 broken or just a configuration problem?

[Pragma]

Hi community!

I have compiled 1.4 branch. I got this "error" if I start csdemo or walktest.

Code:

... (No errors above this line)
SCF_NOTIFY: registering class crystalspace.mesh.saver.factory.particles in context `crystalspace' (from /home/pragma/Code/crystal/crystal-sdk/lib/crystalspace-1.4/particlesldr.so)
SCF_NOTIFY: registering class crystalspace.mesh.saver.particles in context `crystalspace' (from /home/pragma/Code/crystal/crystal-sdk/lib/crystalspace-1.4/particlesldr.so)

VFS_NOTIFY: loaded configuration file: /home/pragma/Code/crystal/crystal-sdk/vfs.cfg
ERROR: Failed to initialize config!
 (A common cause is the CRYSTAL environment variable not being set correctly.)
Error initializing system!
Cleaning up...
Error saving configuration '/config/walktest.cfg'.
SCF_NOTIFY: unloading plugin /home/pragma/Code/crystal/crystal-sdk/lib/crystalspace-1.4/vfs.so

OS: Ubuntu 8.04
GCC: gcc version 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)

The SDK is installed in "~/Code/crystal/crystal-sdk". Environment variable CRYSTAL points to "/home/pragma/Code/crystal/crystal-sdk/lib/crystalspace-1.4/".
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to "/home/pragma/Code/crystal/crystal-sdk/lib".

The problem with that error log is that there is no informative error message!

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

OK I got it. Edit the "vfs.cfg" and change the line

Code:

VFS.Mount.config = $@data$/config-app$/, $@data$/config-plugins$/

to

Code:

VFS.Mount.config =  $(CS_DATADIR)/config-app$/, $(CS_DATADIR)/config-plugins$/

This is fixed on CS 1.9. I suggest to add this fix to 1.4 branch.

This is fixed on CS 1.9. I suggest to add this fix to 1.4 branch.

Indeed, partial merge of r30243 in 1.4 branch was needed.
That's done with r31451 now.

Thanks for reporting

I've got the same problem in CS release v1.2.

CRYSTAL=/opt/cs/lib/crystalspace-1.2
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/cs/lib
gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2

Doesnt look like broken, maybe i'm missing out something.

Hi,

walktest doesnot work:
tried with
CRYSTAL=/opt/cs
CRYSTAL=/opt/cs/lib/crystalspace-1.2
gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2


... (no errors above) ...
SCF_NOTIFY: loading plugin /opt/cs/lib/crystalspace-1.2/vfs.so to satisfy request for csVFS
ERROR: Failed to initialize config!
 (A common cause is the CRYSTAL environment variable not being set correctly.)
Error initializing system!
Cleaning up...
Error saving configuration '/config/walktest.cfg'.
SCF_NOTIFY: unloading plugin /opt/cs/lib/crystalspace-1.2/vfs.so

** seems /config/walktest is not found


Maybe problem with vfs:

if I cd to the config dir and run walktest it works!
but cant find some plugins!

/opt/cs/etc/crystalspace-1.2$ ../../bin/walktest

...

crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:
  could not load plugin 'crystalspace.graphics3d.shader.glcg'
...
so again maybe not broken, and im missing something.
Please tell me how to do it right.

Thanks in advance.

Any way of fixing the v1.2 release config I have already?
