Trouble building on Debian 8: no symbol about nfsiise HOT 7 CLOSED

I don't know.

Now checked and works perfectly, hmm...

Do you have 32-bit SLD2 and GLIBC? Does /lib and /usr/lib are 32-bit libraries directories? Does your gcc and ld are able to generate 32-bit binaries? Maybe reorder object files: game-obj/NFS2SE.Linux.o *.o Also check this:

$ md5sum src/game-obj/NFS2SE.Linux.o 
2cfb2b1c50f86dc5b49c82c5eb10514f  src/game-obj/NFS2SE.Linux.o

from nfsiise.

root@debian-testing:/build/nfs2se-1.0.0+git+bsos# md5sum src/game-obj/NFS2SE.Linux.o 
2cfb2b1c50f86dc5b49c82c5eb10514f  src/game-obj/NFS2SE.Linux.o

I have the following packages in debian/control:

gcc:i386,
libsdl2-dev:i386

This also means any packages pulled in as dependencies of those. Same error if reordering. I tried correcting the path to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/, no luck either. Still looking at things. I don't have paths you have hard-coded in linker steps, maybe that's it? I am building this in a i386 chroot. I read this thread about ordering the objects/linkering.

/lib/ld-linux.so.2

I think this was my fault. I was using build steps in debian/rules from your master branch file, and I was using the v1.0.0 release...I'm sorry about that. I saw you made a lot of changes since then. On to the next steps! Can't wait to script the install further to get this prepped for my SteamOS repository.

Thing that makes the rest of packaging this rough, is the Need For Speed II SE directory having spaces. Is there a reason why it has to be this way? is it hardcoded?

from nfsiise.

Came up with a hack, since dh_install for Debian hates spaces in the install file. See here for more. SO what I did, was rename the folder at the end of the compile/link, added dashes, then used the install file with the dashes in the name. Added a postinst file that fires off after the user installs the deb package, which renames it back. On to the next stage :)

Hmm, v1.0.0 and master differs too much. I think I'll release it soon.

You can change the directory name after compilation or modify the compilation script :)

Ok, as long as the game will actually function with the directory name different, that is fine. I may just rename it and lowercase it after the compile/link. Thanks!
