Title: Problem starting program - SDL? Post by: Cormano on August 15, 2006, 08:59:56 pm Hi guys - I've taken a look through and haven't seen this problem posted to the forums before. I'm not sure how to get around it. Here's my log:
Quote argv[0] = [uqm] argv[1] = [--logfile] argv[2] = [log.txt] The Ur-Quan Masters v0.5.0 (compiled Feb 2 2006 03:24:27) This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see the included 'COPYING' file. Initializing base SDL functionality. Using SDL version 1.2.10 (compiled with 1.2.8) Error: Can't create //plx05: Invalid argument I don't know what plx05: is, although it looks like a network drive perhaps. I'm running the game off my local hard drive C: Title: Re: Problem starting program - SDL? Post by: Novus on August 15, 2006, 09:50:42 pm I'm assuming you're using UQM v0.5 official Windows release.
Looks like UQM is trying to store its configuration files somewhere funky like a network drive (is plx05 a machine on your network?). Where is your Windows application data being stored (i.e. what is the value of %APPDATA%)? I think this is a bug in UQM; I suggest you file a bug report including, besides the usual information, details on your user profile setup, especially the value of %APPDATA%. As a workaround, try forcing UQM to use another configuration directory using the -C option. Alternatively, use a local profile instead of one on a network drive, or provide a drive letter mapping and set %APPDATA% to use that instead. Edit: mkdirhier in src/sc2code/libs/file/dirs.c doesn't seem to support this sort of filename. There may be some other issues, too; I'll take a closer look tomorrow. Title: Re: Problem starting program - SDL? Post by: Cormano on August 16, 2006, 02:38:04 pm It was an appdata problem - my old value was set to a network drive. Setting it to a new value worked just fine. Thanks!
Title: Re: Problem starting program - SDL? Post by: Novus on August 16, 2006, 06:35:55 pm OK, I've been doing some checking. UQM doesn't support UNC (network) paths for configuration or content directories (tested UQM 0.5 on XP). This will cause some hard-to-detect problems if %APPDATA% is a UNC path. I've reported this as bug 907 (http://uqm.stack.nl/cgi-bin/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=907).
