Topic: Compiling TW-Light from git (and JACK) (Read 1947 times)

So, I am trying to compile and run TW-light from git repositories on Linux Mint 12 (based on Ubuntu Precise) All goes well, I can run autogen.sh, I set allegro_CFLAGS and allegro_LIBS according to my allegro-config outputs, then I do make, make install...
When I run TW-light, I have the splash screen then the program quits. I have the following in my terminal:
jack_client_new: deprecated Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server socket jack server is not running or cannot be started
Then I tried to make uninstall, make clean, remove the Allegro JACK plugin from synaptic package manager. Recompiling... and I get same behaviour when running the game, this time only with an "aborted" string on my terminal.
Is there a way to resolve this? I mean, to tell Allegro or TW-light to use something different than JACK? Really I have to set up JACK and a low-latency kernel to run TW-light?
Thank you!

Thank you, I searched for a configuration file but I hadn't, so I took the one as example (in usr/share/docs/(something), renamed as /etc/allegrorc and started editing. That file is considered, because if I use as display the Linux Console instead of XWindows, when I launch TW-light I have the message it's not possible to create a window (if I delete the config file I return with the JACK error). So I put some values where I was sure of (didn't filled the entire config file) and at the part of sound I wrote ALSA.
Still, though, I have the JACK error message. Any other ideas? In the meanwhile I'm going to have some tries with the allegro config file.

Here's some news:
tinkering with allegro config file (which I moved from /etc/allegrorc to ~/allegro.cfg, dunno if it means something), I left all blank apart:
system = XWIN (that was already default)
digi_card = ALSA midi_card = AMID
(quite strange: if I don't set midi_card I have the JACK message, even if midi_card does not consider a JACK option!)
this way, I still have the message about JACK but game runs.
On a side note, I have a lot of slowdowns and some visual glitches , like an image to be splitted 2 or 4 times, but I'm confident it's about my old videocard (ATI RV515, abandoned by official fglrx drivers and not completely supported by open drivers). I deactivated all of the rendering options (antialiasing, interpolating, 3d planet...), and I don't have anymore glitches, just a slowdown when a ship enters in the battlefield or explodes. Eventually I can do something better I'll let you know
