File Naming Convention on Linux (and crashes)[message #263035]

Hi, I'm currently trying to get the game working on Linux and it seemed to be going well (after renaming all files to lowercase in the Data folder) but there is something else tripping it up. Every time the chopper goes to land (after hiring my first Merc) the game crashes with:

ERROR: caught unhandled exception:
Opening file failed
Creating an emergency savegame succeeded (error.sav).
Please report this error with a description of the circumstances. Do not forget to attach the savegame.

Doesn't matter who I pick or what I do. This is at the very start of the game. Basically I choose to start a game, pick a Merc (any) then press the time compression option, it goes to the map, I hear the chopper then poof. Game disappears with that message. Annoyingly I don't know which file it can't find.

I'm using the current SVN version (as of an hour ago or so). Including the strace file data seems a bit pointless as it seems to claim it can't find any files (while looking for upper case folders) but those all seemed to work anyway so it doesn't look like it was those that caused it. How should everything be named for this to work and is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks.

The policy is that all the data files are in lower case, including the "data/" folder itself.

If I remember well, bbun said that "make lowercase" still works. Your "data/" folder is probably already in lower case or the game would have ended on error earlier. It may be your tilesets. If you rename "data/" to "Data", "data/tilecache" to "Data/TILECACHE" and maybe another folder (search the "lowercase" rule in the file "Makefile"), "make lowercase" should convert all the files to lower case for you.

Or go to the folder $SGPDATADIR (the parent folder of "data") and type something like:

for if in $(find data); do of=$(echo $if | tr [] [:lower]); mv $if $of; done
