got compilation problem under FC6:
Scanning dependencies of target bocommandframetester

[ 88%] Building CXX object code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/bocommandframetester.dir/mainnogui.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/python2.4/config/libpython2.4.a -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm', needed by `code/boson/programs/bocommandframetester'. Stop.

Any help is appreciated (would really like to try the game)
Cheers.

got the solution to my own question in the faq section on the boson wiki. should have seen this before. The compilation ended ok.
Sorry for the noise.
PS: I could et it working although I am advertised that the direct rendering is not enabled.

I get exactly the same problem that Betamax had with the same error message, but on a Suse 10.1.:
/usr/lib/python2.4/config/libpython2.4.a(posixmodule.o): dans la fonction « posix_tmpnam »:

Maybe is it a Suse-specific problem?
If anyone can help, cause Boson really looks like a big game!!

The linking step occuring here needs to include "-lutil" to work properly. I'm going to plunge into cmake next and see what incantation it needs to specify this.

Edit each of the following files:
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/bocommandframetester.dir/build.make
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/boconditioneditor.dir/build.make
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/bocreatepreview.dir/build.make
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/bofileconverter.dir/build.make
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/bomodelpixmaps.dir/build.make
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/borender.dir/build.make
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/boson.dir/build.make
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/boson-no-gui.dir/build.make
./code/boson/programs/CMakeFiles/bounit.dir/build.make
look for the huge link command in each iof these files. It occurs a couple lines after an "echo Linking" command. You can't miss it, as the link step is a huge line with lots of '-l" something or other at the end of them. To the end of each line, add '-lutil'.
When you are done editing, you can run the make command again. It should all build. Basically, some systems (such as Suse and FC) have the openpty and forkpty functions in the util lib, but cmake doesn't seem to figure out it needs this. As I said before, there's a much better way to do this, but it's the end of the week and I didn't feel much like digesting yet another manual. :-)
Anyhow, I hope this gets you playin'
