Re: Torcs installation error (make datainstall)

Hi,

Here is how I compile the latest TORCS in Linux.
TORCS is installed in your home directory without
root permissions (excellent for experimenting). 

See the enclosed TorcsNotes.txt

TORCS-1.2.4 is old and requires several tarballs
(I have never compiled it and recommend torcs-1.3.6)

This works with torcs-1.3.6.tar.bz2

./configure --prefix=/home/**USER NAME HERE/local --x-libraries=/usr/lib/ CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O3" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-add-needed,--strip-all"

make && make install && make datainstall

Strip binaries in local/lib/torcs (*vital for speed, and just to be sure)
find . -name "*.so" -exec strip -s '{}' \;
find . -name "*-bin" -exec strip -s '{}' \;

Touch time stamps in ~/.torcs directory before running torcs: (if you want to keep the old settings)
find . -type f -exec touch '{}' \;

Use settings in .torcs (high resolutions work best (*vital for speed)
z-depth 270
lod 3
OpenGL Texture limit 512

steer sensitivity: 0.55

To execute from launcher (torcs.desktop):
~/local/bin/torcs > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
~/local/share/games/torcs/Ticon.ico
