To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hey @ all,
I need your help: I downloaded alpha14 and tried the instructions from the wiki page to install it. It failed, because the directories in the wiki instruction (./bootstrap, ./configure, ../data, ./src/data) do not exist.
Could someone write an instruction with all steps, because I also couldn't find anything in the *.tar.bz2 file 🙁

P.S:
all the extra packages I already have installed. I just need to know how to compile it...
That package contains a compiled program, not source code. You can grab the source from here:
https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pion ... ll/alpha14
Better yet, you can get the latest version of the source from GitHub.
If all you need is a 64 bit binary, I can arrange that. You would just need to copy it over the 32 bit one; the rest of the package would be the same.
Hey,
thanks for the hint. Using this source I could do following using this instruction:
* ./bootstrap
* ./configure
But when I tried make it told me, that there aren't any Targets found and that there is no »make«-Controlfile.
Here is the shell code, maybe it helps to understand my descriptions.

So what should I do know?
Install sigc++2.2.10 as the same output above is saying that such lib is missing.
Run this:
then run ./configure once more.
Yeah, I read this info, too, but I couldn't install it:
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen... Fertig
E: Paket sigc++2.2.10 kann nicht gefunden werden
...what means that this package couldn't be found.
then run ./configure once more.
Thanks a lot, Brianetta, now it works!!! 🙂
