Hi,

today i wanted to compile pokerth on Linux/Opensuse.
I read https://github.com/pokerth/pokerth/blob/master/INSTALL . It gives me an error after i typed "make" in terminal. It printed a lot of errors, starting with

make -f Makefile.pokerth_protocol 
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/felix/Documents/8progr/1c/pth/pokerth-master'
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DENABLE_IPV6 -DQT_NO_DEBUG -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/default -I. -I/usr/include -I. -Isrc -I/include -Imocs -o obj/pokerth.pb.o src/third_party/protobuf/pokerth.pb.cc
In file included from src/third_party/protobuf/pokerth.pb.cc:5:0:

  ^

i installed protobuf prior to typing make (if i am not mistaken)
I am not a Linux expert.
Is there a way how i can fix this?
thx for help

Hello, i guess it was somehow solved - by installing a lower version of google/protobuf

Ok, now i got the next problem:
I installed pokerth using the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/pokerth/pokerth.git
cd pokerth
qmake pokerth.pro
make
sudo make install

and i did not see any errors. I opened pokerth from konsole, and after clicking "2 Internet Game" and entering username and password, the progress bar stayed at "Starting Session... (80 %)" for a long time. Then an error message appears "The connection to the server was lost", and in the konsole i found the following error messages:

[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/message_lite.cc:123] Can't parse message of type "PokerTHMessage" because it is missing required fields: (cannot determine missing fields for lite message)
Session 4294967295 - Connection closed: asio.misc:2
Session 4294967295 - unhandled exception in HandleRead: src/net/common/clientthread.cpp (481): Error 16

I have no idea how to fix this error and i'd like to be able to connect to the pokerth server. Any Help is appreciated, thx in advance

EDIT: i have OpenSUSE (linux) and i have protoc version 2.5.0

EDIT 2: i just noticed that 4294967295 (the session number) is the highest possible unsigned 32-bit number - what does it mean?

I did a build for a Player receiving similar message and it was the players interface was out off date and had to d/l a fix then apply it. After that it worked.

A search here discover this link but it was not solved.

Wish I could be more helpful.

4294967295 aka 0xFFFFFFFF is -1 too -- common error code / "invalid value"... INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE on Windows, for example.
I have not tried to compile PokerTH. So, it's just idea. Maybe, stupid idea

OK i guess i partially solved it.

I knew the problem had to do with protobuf. After reading a bit about it, i came across this file: https://github.com/pokerth/pokerth/blob/master/pokerth.proto
the newest commit reads "[...] (currently untested)" - so it looked like a potential source for the error.
I decided to clone the source code from the branch "stable" instead of master.
(after applying a fix manually (libircclient.h)) it compiled without errors.
And i even can connect to the game server again.
Now i realize that i should have tried the stable version earlier - sorry guys.
to sum it up: a possible explanation would be, that there is an error in pokerth.proto

@Gary_Ch: thanks for pointing that out to me - i use -1 as error code all the time by myself, however, this time i did not thought about it as -1
@jamine* thx for the link and comment.

@ pokerth developers: Sorry, i was too lazy to check what exactly (if anything) in pokerth.proto is wrong, but maybe you should have a look and see if there is something wrong (or if i am wrong

) - you can ask me to compile the updated code to see if it works
@all: should i make a new thread or report this as a bug somewhere?
