If you don't want the svga version, it doesn't matter.
The X version should still compile even if svga fails.
You can force svga not to compile like this:
  ./configure --without-svga

Assuming you do indeed want the svga version, you need to
find out if and where the file libvgagl.so is installed.
Make sure it isn't a dangling link.  Then, check 
to make sure the library is in the load path
(the path is stored somewhere like /etc/ld.so.conf).

I have svgalib; puzzled that my installation seems inadequate to lincity.   
Suggestions?

Rob

I guess Philip must have discontinued the cd.  Anyway, 
you can download lincity through the sourceforge site:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33390

For lincity-ng, there is a different site:

Hi,

I am a college teacher teaching urban environmental policy, and was thinking
about utilizing Lin City to help my students think through sustainability
issues.  Do you know of another link to Philip White's windows freeware

Hello, I don't mean to sound ignorant or lazy but I'm having a really
difficult time installing lincity on my mac OS X. Could you possibly give me
step by step instructions on what to do from the very beginning. All I have
is the tar.gz file but I have no idea what to do with it. If you can't give
me step by step instructions (which would be really appreciated) could you
at least tell me what applications I need to use to install lincity? Thank
you so much for your time.

Hello,

I am very interested about the game but it seems something wrong with 
the Mac Os version.
The link you put (package for X11) is right connected to a page that 
show several versions of the game, but with no any download link! I 
doubt the page is quite disturbing, so is there a really version for 
X11 mac ?

Thank you if you can made some help.

Lincity uses the GPL license for its code and data. This license does
not allow sharing with closed source projects. We also created lincity
in out spare times and we (I assume I speak for the team here...) don't
want to support closed source/commercial games.

Hello!

I hope this message is appropriate to this list. It was the only way I foun=
d
to contact the group.

Cityscape is a city building game we have been developing for windows. A
playable 2D demo (placeholder graphics, but has sounds and a great voice
tutorial) has just been released.


http://www.cityscapegame.com/cityscape-5-6.zip



We also have the beginnings of a 3D
engine<http://www.cityscapegame.com/www/archive.htm>,
which we have put on hold in favor of experimenting with gameplay concepts
first.




About Our Game

In terms of gameplay, the difference from SimCity is the amount of detail.
We represent the income, spending, and happiness of each and every sim.
Firms produce goods, which trucks carry to their points of sale. The entire
city is built up piece by piece by your workers, using the appropriate
materials, which you can buy or make on your own.

In this respect we're more akin to Tropico. But we use trucks and roads to
move things around the map, and travel distance is not *the* dominant facto=
r
to your city's productivity the way it is in Tropico. We are also trying to
do a "closed" economy, where money is transferred always between two agents
in the game -- instead of vaporizing $1000 to build a fire station, you pay
a construction yard to do it, which in turn pays its workers, suppliers,
owners -- these agents in turn spend it on things they desire, and so on.

In the demo imports and exports are not closed in this sense. In a future
version all trade will be with other players, or with a mega-distributor
such as a game-master.


What We Seek

I worked with Linux during grad school and really loved the OS. I've done a
bit of kernel work using application profiling to enhance memory management=
.


When I started this project, I had to make a decision about where to focus
my resources (right now I'm at 2-person full time team). I decided my main
purpose was to develop a new kind of gameplay, and to use the most time
saving tools available. You can flame me but I went with windows :))

With the release of the demo, I would like to explore the possibility
continuing the game's development as a cross-platform project using
SDL/OpenGL. This is a commercial game, however, so it must be essentially
close source. I'm considering two ideas

- to make the Linux binaries free for all versions of the game
- to develop the game as partially open-source, sharing graphics and other
infrastructure code with LinCity


I am looking for people who are excited by the gameplay concept, want a
chance to influence its development, and want to see the game on Linux.
Please write to me if this interests you!

My understanding of the game is that you CAN lose tech points which is =
true
to life really.

Hi,

Thanks for the report.  There is a bug with -d in 1.13.  
However, version 1.12.1 seems to work just fine.

I don't think the -d flag will work for you.  You need a 
minimum resolution of 1280x960 for the -d flag to work 
properly.  My best suggestion is to run it "regular",
in a window, then resize the window to be maximized.

Or, ALT-CTRL-F5 and run in a console, ALT-CTRL-F7 to return
to X.  :-)

My config. :

I want lincity cover all the screen without to quit kde and X11.
With "xlincity -d" 
the windows is greeter the my display and the image of lincity keeps the same 
size as launched with "xlincity

I think it perhaps exists some kde command or x11 command to enlarge to the 
15" the lincity winddows or any else solution.

Anyone has a solution ?

thanks in advance

Hi list,

lincity-ng has made some good progress and while hopefully have it's
first release soon. So we need to discuss what needs to be done.
Therefore we have an IRC meeting, Saturday, 23. Apr. 2005, 18:00 GMT on
#lincity on irc.freenode.net. Everyone is invited. Please join the
discussion also, if you played lincity and can provide some information
on how information should be represented, to be usefull.

No, apple's x11 should be fine (as far as I know).  See if
you can figure out where it is installed and you can tell 
that to lincity.  There are two things that lincity needs: 
the include directory and the library directory.  

To find the include directory, search your entire hard disk
for the file "X.h".  To find the library directory, search for
something like "libX11.so" or "libX11.a".

After getting the directories, try reconfiguring like this:

./configure --x-includes=/path/to/includes
--x-libraries=/path/to/libraries
