I'm not sure if I ever compiled a client that is not shared lib and also has sound. Probably not. But if you have a crash, don't use sound (-P none).

How can I change the game in German, according to the manual wiki, it should work, yes! 
 
Can someone give me as a reference? My computer is a G4 AmigaOne 1.266 Ghz with OS4.1 Update 3

If there is sobjs:libtiff.so.3 it shouldn't ask for it.

I'm assuming the server works as usual. So the client doesn't. Why don't you try again with 'freeciv-sdl -d 3' and put the output on some forum.

Oh, there's some new functionality, that is apparently defunct. It's probably what you meant in the first place. 
 
You used to be only able to choose the tileset from the commandline (although it saved the choice in the settings file). Perhaps the on-the-fly change wants to use a function that doesn't exist on OS 4.

Tuxedo: Which tileset did you try? I had one of them left to try, hex2t, and seems it has an error. The file is data/hex2t.tilespec. It reads "amplio/nuke.spec", but if you replace it with "amplio2/nuke.spec", all of the sets work (YMMV).

Ah, copying libjpeg.so there is of course redundant.

Thanks for the quick response!  I'll give your suggestions a try when I get to Amiwest :)

The name difference is because the configure script picked those plain ones; in fact, the whole dependency on libtiff and libjpeg is just that. No JPEG or TIFF files are within the (unexpanded) game. 
 
See this: http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum/viewtopic.php?post_id=57845#forumpost57845 
 
So if you are wary of doing anything to SOBJS: (which is usually in SYS:), you could do 
cd freeciv-2.3.0 
makedir sobjs 
copy libtiff.so.3 sobjs/libtiff.so 
copy libjpeg.so.11 sobjs/libjpeg.so 
 
A static build is simple enough to do from the sources and (flawed, no doubt) instructions I uploaded, but I'll see about including it with the next 2.3 release when it appears.

Thematic, 
 
Thank you for taking the time to port this app to OS4!  Seriously, work like this takes your valble time and we all apperciate it.  I've been running in to Sobj problems too.  Looks like the libtiff archive does not contain libtiff.so but libtiff.so.3.  I'm just begining to explore the SDK but I don't think I can build my own libtiff.  Any chance you could do a static recomple? 
 
Thanks again and I hope to see another port soon :)

It may be best to use some other browser than OWB (what is available at the time of writing) if visiting the Freeciv site, to avoid inconvenience.

The following common libraries are available on this site and do work with this program: 
 
http://os4depot.net/share/library/audio/sdl_mixer.so.lha 
http://os4depot.net/share/development/library/graphics/sdl_image.so.lha 
http://os4depot.net/share/development/library/graphics/libjpeg.lha 
http://os4depot.net/share/development/library/graphics/libtiff.lha 
 
The rest of the objects are standard issue I think.

I'm trying half an hour now without any success due to the missing-but-where-to-be-found SOBJS. :( 
 
As the guy said below, it's better to include all the required SOBJS in the archive.

Better just include static-build as well (which is matter to add -static to the makefile), so no sobjs-hell.

Ok, no way to lauch the game. thing.so is missing, bidule.so.11 is missing, anotherthing.so is missing. 
 
I give up, I won't loose half an hour to try to play a game, sorry :-( You should include every shared object in the game because I'm pretty sure that nearly noone will managa to play it (and I'm a daily user, AmigaOS is my main system). 
 
Sorry.

Works fine here, thanks. 
Some issues with contextual pointers though, and I couldn't get to open the Video prefs page.

@kas1e 
It's plain. OpenGL could help with the typical "native" resolutions, maybe for next update. I'd really like to get the server browser fixed as well though.

@Bigos 
In upload query (by some strange reasson os4depot admin not move all the stuff from submit to public, so you need download it for now from upload_query).

Yep, thanks (imho you need also upload separate archive called "libiconv-shared", where just put only .so, because some users will not found that inside of code-mess:) ) 
 
Tested game for now - looks pretty good , stable and fast. Did it use opengl or plain SDL ? 
Sadly through that no muisic, only sounds. But still, looks good.  Thanks for work.
