The Powder Toy

paxy97

I'm not sure if this is the right section, but If it's not can someone move it please.

I have ubuntu 12.04 32bit (ubuntu is a linux os) and wanted to compile the distiller's mod from github. I've installed SCons to compile the new version, but when I run the "scons --lin" command I get an error message saying:

pavle@pavle-gore:~/The-Powder-Toy$ scons --lin

scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 904, in _main

Do I need to install some other libs or is it something else?

I don't think the distillers mod is based on TPT++ which uses scons.

Nah, you seem to be in the wrong directory. Basically, what this means, the folder you're in does not have a file called "SConscript" which is a file that contains instructions on what to do.
Enter this and give me the output: (This is what it'd look like ideally)

pavle@pavle-gore: ~/The-Powder-Toy $ ls | grep SConscript
SConscript

pavle@pavle-gore: ~The-Powder-Toy $ ls

Judging by the folder name, you also may even have the wrong Powder Toy repository. When you used Git to download the source, did you type something like

git clone https://github.com/FacialTurd/PowderToypp/

?

Distillers mod does have a tpt++ repository (based off of mine), but it's 2 months old and he uses visual studio anyway.

It will be converted to tpt++ sometime I think, but for now, you have to use the old way with the make command

Ok But when i use the make command this happens:

pavle@Pavle:~/The-Powder-Toy$ make powder

For some reason, that mod contains header files for windows versions of various libraries (SDL, Lua, pthread, etc). Delete those headers and try again.

rm -r includes/SDL/ includes/bzlib.h includes/fftw3.h includes/lua5.1/ includes/pthread.h includes/regex.h includes/sched.h

mkdir -p build/obj/elements

make powder

Edit: Or possibly "make powder-64-sse3", since from the "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu" in that error message, it looks like you're using a 64 bit OS.
