[Linux] Compiled, but GUI doesn't show

doomgaze3 · Post by **doomgaze3** » Thu May 08, 2008 2:52 pm

Any ideas why this would happen?

Post by **grinvader** » Thu May 08, 2008 4:06 pm

You're running zsnes with -m ?

doomgaze3 · Post by **doomgaze3** » Thu May 08, 2008 10:39 pm

Nope. Nothing complicated at all - no command line switches. Just good ol 'zsnes'.

Check in ~/.zsnes/zsnesl.cfg if the GUI is disabled.

I checked the file and it says "guioff=0". That means it's on.

I did find a --with-x configure option which I'm building with now. We'll see how that works.

No dice on that... I think its a problem with my libs. How do I find out which one is causing the problem?

I would paste the output, but I can't pipe it because zsnes hangs after the following message displays:

etc...
Starting Mouse Detection.
ManyMice: 1 Mice Detected.

Hopefully all that helps!

make clean, then compile again.

Post by **grinvader** » Fri May 09, 2008 11:56 pm

You might want to update your nasm, even if it has no effect on your problem.

doomgaze3 · Post by **doomgaze3** » Sat May 10, 2008 4:31 am

Okay, I cleaned and installed a newer NASM. Something interesting is happening and I noticed it before: make is hanging on video/newg162.asm .

I was killing the console and clean/remaking but I don't think it's ever gotten past this file. Ideas?

Update: It wasn't hanging, it actually got by it. Stand by for the results...

Update2: Still no dice.

paulguy · Post by **paulguy** » Sat May 10, 2008 6:09 am

That just takes a long time to do. Wait for it.

doomgaze3 · Post by **doomgaze3** » Sat May 10, 2008 6:10 pm

It finally compiled and ran, but the same thing happened: The program hangs after it detects the mouse. The GUI still does not start. I'm thinking this might be due to a library I have... is there any way to track down this problem? I'm still a linux newb. I'm not sure how to track down lib problems.

Instead of running "zsnes" try running "strace zsnes". It'll print pages and pages of stuff, but it should be interesting to see the last few things it prints just before it hangs.
