Download and Unpack Plib
Download plib-1.8.3.tar.gz from here. TORCS has been tested against 1.8.3, for other versions we guarantee for nothing! Stay as root and do
cd /usr/src
mkdir torcs
cd torcs
tar xfvz /path_to_downloaded_files/plib-1.8.3.tar.gz
cd plib-1.8.3
Compiling and Installing Plib
You are still root and in /usr/src/torcs/plib-1.8.3, if you run a 64 bit version of Linux export the following variables:
export CFLAGS="-fPIC"
export CPPFLAGS=$CFLAGS
export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
Now for all platforms run:
./configure
make
make install
Just to play safe clear the above defined variables:
export CFLAGS=
export CPPFLAGS=
export CXXFLAGS=
If something fails you need to resolve it. In case the configure script complained about something you can find some additional information in the file config.log. The cause for problems are usually missing header files or libraries, wrong versions or multiple versions installed.
It says in the installation guid of vtorcs-color: Requires plib 1.8.5, FreeGLUT or GLUT, be aware to compile plib with -fPIC on AMD64 if you run a 64 bit version of Linux. Be aware that maybe just 1.8.5 works. I'm still new to this kind of stuff, so could you please tell how to do that?
