Compilation troubles

[erkljer]

Oh, I should have checked the RakNet license before.

It also implies that we cannot publish game-editor on PlayDeb as long as it makes use of RakNet.
Am I right ?

Also your link to the compilation instructions gives a 404 error.

While I'm all up for a better network layer that allows free distribution, I think raknets license was interpreted wrong:

"Licensee shall not distribute any portion of the Software as a stand-alone product and shall not incorporate any portion of the Software into any product that will be sold or licensed as a development tool;"

Licensee shall not distribute any portion of the Software as a stand-alone product-> we aren't distributing raknet alone but with game-editor

shall not incorporate any portion of the Software into any product that will be sold or licensed as a development tool-> we aren't selling or licensing it.

As such, I don't believe that applies.

In any case, I think is better get an open source network library.
BTW, I've updated the link to the compilation instructions.

Some news!

In the RakNet 3.301 version there are references to GPL license, but not in the new version.
Here is the text:

I've sent a message to the RakNet developer asking him if I can use RakNet as a GPL software on Game Editor.
I hope can use the RakNet in Game Editor following the GPL license.

The answer was no. So, I think we should move to another network library. This will take a while, but the first thing to do is make the code compile without the RakNet dependicies.

I've removed RakNet from Game Editor.

More info about the network here:

I'm glad you removed RakNet dependency!

The SVN compilation.txt still asks for it though

line 4:

Code: Select all

1) Get the RakNet at http://www.jenkinssoftware.com/ (tested with the 3.301 version)

PS: I know Sauerbraten for example uses enet

Please, update your code base

To solve all of these problems, download the libstdc++5 from google, it's easy to find. You wont find a karmic koala(Ubuntu 9.10) version but it still works fine. I use it and I have no more "errors" in the GE it's self so far. I have it in one of my posts.
