Game install problems

[Jakykong]

Ok, i downloaded a bunch of GNU GPL games (and some on other licences, but thats another story.. i'm not going to edit them or distribute them anyway so that really makes no difference).

I am having some *major* problems getting them installed. As far as i can tell, these are compilation problems, but i am unsure!

General game installation tips don't seem like they will help me here! So what i am going to do is list a detailed(however to-the-point) description of the problem and some information that may help solve it.

If it is not too much hastle(i only need this on about 3 games and i can get the rest done... they all have similar errors), it would be GREAT if ANYONE can give me a pointer as to how to fix THAT problem! Like i say, they have about 3 sets of errors, and about 3 games will solve the rest!

I have nothing to hide and will give you any system information you need to help solve my problem.

Any and ALL help is greatly appreciated... minimal or complete. I am new to linux (although not UNIX, but linux has proven a little different), so maybe this is a REALLY simple problem!

make: *** [main.o] Error 1
root@Jack:~/Games/moondefence-1.5#


The error(on like 2nt to last line of terminal log) is an error 1. What does this mean? How can i fix it?

If you need ANY other info about my system or the install process, ask and i will give! I hope that this post is detailed enough But also to-the-point. I would hate to be a hastle! (i perfer to please than hastle). If i can make it simpler tell me how and i will!

[Jakykong]

Noone sems to be resplying to this...

Maybe i am asking something that noone can answer, so let me make it a little clearere what i am asking... or simply what information i need to fix the problem.

Some Games have and error 1 when i make, others error 2, and others both. How do i fix error 1 and error 2?

The line "Error: *** [main.o] Error 1" Is the line i am having problems with. It is near the bottom of the terminal log above. The Error 1 changes to a 2 and sometimes has 2 identical lines with a 1 and a 2.

My dilema is getting make to fully compile these things!


Does that make it easier to answer this question?
