I am a very old Freeciv enthousiastic, and I loved the very old versions (ie : 1.14), which I played for hours. So my challenge is now to compile a fresh "new" 1.12 or 1.14 distribution, but there are problems I can't solve for... years.
Here are the rule :
- Platforms used : CentOS 7.1 or Raspberry Pi 400 or Raspberry Pi zero 2W
- Distribution : Source code Freeciv 1.12.0 or 1.14.x
Main issues : It requires gtk+ version 1.2.5 and NOT gtk2 or gtk3... which requires Glib 1.2.8 and NOT Glib2...
I tried many, many, many workaround, the only which work was install a Solaris 10 on a virtual machine... I tried also to downgrade gcc (gcc-5), but still the same : it doesn't compile.
If anyone has an idea, I would be very grateful. Anyone interested in a old geek challenge
Thanks for your advices.
