Angband 3.0.9 under Linux (graphics?)

[strangeintp]

Greetings all, I'm a newb too this community and a relative newb to Angband. I've been playing the graphical version under windows, and want to run it under Ubuntu 7.10. Is the graphical version supported under Linux?

I successfully compiled and run it in text mode, but anytime I try to run it in graphics mode, I get the following error:

$ angband -mx11-d-g
angband: Unable to prepare any 'display module'!

I ran ./configure enabling x11, sdl, and gtk. The only problem I can see is that I got warnings when make compiled the c files, like so (basically for each c file):

CC birth.c
In file included from angband.h:17,
from birth.c:11:
h-basic.h:132:1: warning: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined
<command line>:1:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

Has anybody successfully compiled and run 3.0.9 in graphics mode under Linux, or give me any help what might be going wrong? Thanks!

I think the -d option is your problem; it asks for an alternate path for auxiliary files, which isn't what you want. Try angband -mx11 -g. If you want different graphics options, then things like angband -mx11 -g -- -b will give bigtile, and so on. Do angband -h to get the full list.

These seem to me unlikely to be a problem. Unless I'm wrong. :)

I actually tried all manner of option combinations (including the one you suggested), and they gave me the same error. Thanks though

ok, I think maybe I was using the option designators wrong, but I'm still not getting it to work. When I use "angband -g -mx11 -- -d -a" I get ASCII tiles, and if I use "angband -g -mx11 -- -d -g" I get a black view where the map should be (yes, the *32*.bmp files are in the /graf/ directory). Am I still messing up the options somehow?

These work fine for me. The only difference I can see is that I haven't installed - I just copied the binary into my top level angband directory.
