- Q: gzseek already defined or undefined!
- A: You have an incompatible libpng version, better you install the latest
libpng1.0.X. You get it here:
SwRI
- Q: The software cursor is too slow
- A: I will improve the speed later, but me was told:
Using Accelerated X on a Pentium 75 ALE Clone is now playable.
- Q: Why did Guile 1.3 not work?
- A: Applies only to older versions, since october 1998 supported.
Change the line in 'Rules.make':
GUILELIB= -lguile -ldl
into
GUILELIB= `guile-config link` -lreadline -lncurses
With this I got guile 1.3 working.
- Q: Did ALE Clone work with ALSA?
- A: Yes, ALE Clone works with the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) - Driver.
I have tested it with version 0.3.2.

- Q: How did I get big maps?
- A: If you want a map of the size 256 x 256.
Create and edit 4 maps (128 x 128) in the original editor.
Save them as bigmap1.pud, bigmap2.pud, bigmap3.pud and bigmap4.pud.
Now create a file bigmap.cm containing:
(define-map 256 256)
(load-pud "bigmap1.pud")
(load-pud "bigmap2.pud")
(load-pud "bigmap3.pud")
(load-pud "bigmap4.pud")
If you now load this file as map (clone bigmap.cm), you see this big map.
bigmap1.pud is in the upper left corner.
bigmap2.pud is in the upper right corner.
bigmap3.pud is in the lower left corner.
bigmap4.pud is in the lower right corner.
- Q: Can I use the original without expansion?
- A: There are only more graphics and sounds in the expansion CD version.
Me was told, it works without problems with the german version. Just try it.
With the new versions this should work without problems.
- Q: I get the error message "gcc: No input files", when I build clone.
(Reported with pgcc version 1.1.1.) What should I do?
- A: Try changing the line in the clone toplevel Makefile
$(CC) -Lsrc -lclone $(CLONELIBS) -o clone -I. $(CFLAGS)
to
$(CC) -Lsrc -lclone $(CLONELIBS) -o clone -I. $(CFLAGS) dummy.c
and execute the command "touch dummy.c" in the clone toplevel
directory.
Or install a better gcc version without this bug.
