[Spacehulk-devel] Build error on CVS, plus XML levels?

[Andy Piper]

I've just updated my local CVS tree and tried to build it. I'm on RedHat
8.0.

First I have to run aclocal, since the automake version is an old
version.

Then I run automake:
address@hidden spacehulk]$ automake
src/Makefile.am:39: blank line following trailing backslash

This results in a build error when I configure and then attempt to build
spacehulk.

The fix is to remove line 38 from src/Makefile.am:
#nodist_qspacehulk_SOURCES = \

After this, automake works with no errors, and I can build spacehulk
successfully.

I thought I read that the levels were now in XML format? Where are they?
The data in data/levels (the *.lvl files) appear to be binary. I would
like to correct a few things in the level descriptions etc. but can't
find the levels in plain text format to patch.

aha! They are gzipped! This is odd, surely it is better to commit plain
XML files to CVS? Far easier to patch that way. I didn't see this in the
documentation anywhere. Very confusing
