Hey Daniel,
I just found out that the OSX linker doesn't know "--whole-archive".
Wouldn't it be easier just to modify a small value in the jam sources?
While I think about it... we might want to drop a line to Perforce that
they should use better ways of getting the number of max cmdline
commands (and that 10240 is irrationally small).
On OSX and other BSD systems, "sysctl -n kern.argmax" can be used to get
the value.
As an interim hack, search "jam.h" in your jam sources for "Jam
implementation misc" and change the following definition of MAXLINE to a
nicer number. (262144 on my Darwin box.) Run "jam" to compile itself
(Baron M?nchhausen's bootstrapping?) and overwrite your old binary with
the resulting one.

Unfortunately there are some problems with this:
* Jam isn't maintained actively, there are countless patches floating
around the jam mailing list and in the perforce public repository (speed
improvements, countless bugfixes to the builtin rules and even for
commandline length if I remember correctly). The chance for a new jam
release anytime soon is minimal :-(
* There are at least 2 forks of jam around at the moment: ftjam and
boostjam. These are more actively maintained and we could look whether
they already contain a fix for the commandline length issue or would
include a patch from our side.
* Maybe the 10240 limit is there to enforce you to write portable
jamfiles, there might be obscure platforms around that can't handle
more. Then again these strange architectures are probably so old that we
can't compile supertux on them anyway, so this point isn't really valid
for us

Problem is that it's a very bad idea to ask our users to patch and
compile their own jam binaries :-/

Ondra, can you send me a copy of the man pages for g++ and ld so I can
see if there is an alternative command argument I can use on that
system? It might be something simple. Could you also provide me with
the version numbers of OS X, g++ and ld? For OS X users, it may be as
simple as rolling back the new jam_fix patch and applying the other one
I supplied in a previous email; the man page will help let me know if
that's possible.

Although there won't be that many different people compiling the
SuperTux source code since there are a limited number of developers, you
don't want to make it very difficult for an interested individual to
dive into the project and start playing around. There are probably 20
people max who normally compile SuperTux and it's not a big thing to ask
all the developers to modify the jam source code. What is a big thing
is to try to convince the Linux distributors/vendors to keep a patched
version of jam specifically to compile SuperTux every time they want to

Since we've committed the patch to SVN, this won't fix the problem
anymore until we find another solution for your platform. Can you or
someone else with OS X please make yourselves known on the #supertux IRC
channel so we can work this out as soon as possible.

Hey everyone,
sorry for spamming your mailbox, but this was too funny to not approve
it. :-)
For those of you who don't speak German, this junk mail advertises
"Black classic socks at discount prize". I'll translate the funniest
lines for you:
"Take this opportunity today to part from your old socks!"
"Best customer service!"
"Socks like from another planet"
"No low-quality free-time socks, but black classic business-socks"
"No little elephants or decorative stripes printed on them"
If that doesn't convince you to buy 100 pairs of socks for only 270
(Swiss?) Francs... :-)

Subject: [Supertux-devel] repeatable platform-independent random numbers
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
A while back, I did some work to make Supertux have cross-platform
repeatability of random numbers. Back in the end of April, I released
those changes, but the release did not go smoothly. There were some
bugs and others with SVN access made some stopgap fixes. Since then,
I've isolated the problem which probably prevented all of the changes
from being incorporated. Attached is a patch which should complete this
task.
I hope you can get it into SVN quickly, as I have put some time into
reconstructing it. Whoever puts it in, please let me know how it went.
I am here to help with any problems which might come up. However my
time will be less available starting next month, and I probably won't be
able to go through this exercise again.
Allen King
It is based on a recent version (3821), and effects the following changes.
1. The variable RAND_MAX is machine-dependent, and shouldn't be used
inside the machine-independent RandomGenerator, as it currently
is. This patch fixes that problem, which expressed itself in
Wintel platforms (where RAND_MAX=0x7fff and INT_MAX=0x7fffffff) as
assertion failures as well as numeric errors in randf.
2. In the current version, the random seed is not properly
initialized from the demo file. It says it does, but it doesn't.
(Instead a random number is generated from time(0)).
GOREY DETAILS: For things to work, the call to init_rand() must be
delayed until after the seed is read from the demo file.
Unfortunately just delaying the init_rand() call till after
play_demo caused the "uninitialized random generator" throw bug. To
get around that problem, the code that reads the random seed was
moved from GameSession :: play_demo method to a new method:
GameSession :: get_demo_random_seed, which could occur earlier.
Unfortunately in the process of doing that, play_demo stopped
skipping over the initial seed, got confused, and prevented
play_demo from operating at all. All of this should be fixed now.
Other lesser changes that are also in this patch are:
1. RandomGenerator::rand(int) now has no fence-post biases.
Previously, there were large biases in cases like when it's
argument was, say, =rand_max*0.75.
2. A debug mode was added to RandomGenerator, but set to OFF.
3. A periodic call of rand had been added every 20 frames to aid in
debug. It was changed to call rand every cycle because the "every
20 times" functionality broke due to other's changes. The call is
currently commented out, but I un-comment it for debug.
4. The random_seed stored in the demo file is saved as decimal with
leading spaces. This removes a trivial debugging cut-and-paste gotcha.
5. in random_generator, an assertion check (of sizeof(int) >= 4) was
moved into initialization code to reduce processing time.
6. An old commented-out erroneous call to srand(0) was removed totally.

This level is called "Lost Woods" because I took the concept from

Things I need to fix:
1. The music should always start at about .5 when the message shows
2. The player doesn't notice how small the level really is
3. Other cosmetic stuff, like filling in all the earth tiles

Subject: [Supertux-devel] [Bug #8054] Icons in objects tool and tile tool panes go white sometimes
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Bug #8054, was updated on 2006-Jul-02 08:33
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.
Project: SuperTux
Category: None
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Submitted by: tuxdev
Assigned to : none
Summary: Icons in objects tool and tile tool panes go white sometimes
Details: If an object is selected, the objects between the selected one and the first (none) go white. "Between" meaning if you convert the 2D view to a 1D array by left-right up-down order priority.
If the pane is resized, all the icons go white until you move it back to where it was exactly.
If you scroll in a pane, all the icons go white until you scroll back.
These behaviours sometimes clear up for reasons I have yet to determine.

Strange, now it is working. Maybe because I updated to Suse 10 or something in SVN changed. But I can no longer reproduce the problem.

Sounds like an SDL/PNG problem.
Could you go "up 5" and "print *filename"? Thanks.

Comment:
A short hack in Jam sources fixes the problem: open jam.h and jump to line 461. Change the definition of MAXLINE to a larger number (try something like 30000), rebuild jam and copy the new binary into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or ~/bin (overwriting the one you've had before).
10240 is a pretty low limit, I give you that.

Comment:
This problem is related to AMD64 processors and caused because the command line arguments supplied to jam's linker are too long for jam to handle. A temporary workaround to this problem is to run the configure script with "--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu":
./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
This will shorten the list of arguments down by a few hundred characters, bringing you back under the 10240 limit. Note that you should run "jam clean" before reconfiguring and rebuilding.

After careful testing your levels by our test players we we are
sorry to inform you that your contribution does not quite match our
players expectations. It might be a good idea to keep in mind
that a major part of our audience is young children while designing
levels. Another hint: get someone else to playtest your works,
they will notice details that you with your knowledge as the level's
designer missed.
We can not send you the new release of supertux because
it is not ready yet. If it is done we will announce it on
http://supertux.berlios.de/ and through the usual channels. For
milesone two (the upcoming release of supertux) we would like to
have levels that also use the new features of this release.
Tsch??,
Wolfgang

Hi there!
I created a little patch for three levels in world1 because there some
stalactites don't fall down.
This happens if you place them on another tile.
