Building with bundled physfs?
Fri, 2018-12-07 11:25
Hi,
I'm trying to build 0.9.25 on RHEL 7. I can't figure out the cmake flag to use the bundled sysfs library (RHEL7 comes with physfs 2.0.3 which is too old.) Another thread here suggests -DPHYSFS_SYSTEM=0, but that doesn't seem to work. Any better suggestions?
The world demands Hedgewars for the Enterprise! 
The bundled PhysFS has been removed in 0.9.25. The flag PHYSFS_SYSTEM is gone, too.
Hedgewars now requires PhysFS 3.0.0 to be installed on your system to build. Read the file INSTALL.md in the Hedgewars directory for more information.

Thanks for the info. It might be nice to have the website updated to reflect this fact too.
While I'm bothering you and everybody else, I will ask another question. Can I add physfs3 in the hedgewars source myself, or is it better to install physfs3 system-wide? Building it is not a huge problem of couse.
You could restore physfs in hedgewars sources and undo the removal from CMake, but it'd be better to install it system-wide.
Only issue ofc is if anything out there depends on physfs2. That's when distros tend to maintain multiple versions of a lib if necessary.
Probably not the case here though.

Nothing seems to depend on physfs2, so I was able to backport physfs3 from fedora and we are back in business. Thanks for all your help!
That's good to hear!
IMO it's generally not a good idea to bundle a library.

That's the truth, Ruth.
