Figure I'll weigh in on the fix the laptop piece since that's a good chunk of what I do for a living.  Assuming the HDD is good, and the laptop is otherwise irreparable:

Pull the HDD out of the laptop.  Usually held in by a single screw.
If it's a SATA drive, just plug that bad boy into any PC, and start yanking files off
If it's a PATA drive, then you'll need a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter (buyable at most PC repair places, also off Newegg, Amazon and the like).  Hopefully you have a PC that still has a PATA connector (wide, flat ribbon cable).
Try to do this before you send it off to repair anywhere, since repair places like to wipe drives first, ask questions later.

Look forward to the return of this story.

Just built it and compiled again, no dice. Is the font stuff included seperately?

Yes.  Building all addons is the safe bet, but all that was required for me was ttf, dialog, and image.  Building on additional addons may help if additional addons are later included in Stonesense.

Linux Build instructions! (This is good as of DF 31.25, DFHack 0.5.14, and Stonesense Slate v2.3).  This was performed under Fedora 15, so YMMV with Ubuntu/Arch/etc.

1. Download DFHack and build it:

https://github.com/peterix/dfhack (this will have a file hash in the filename, so I'll use wildcards and/or tab completions to fill in for that piece)
Click Downloads, the under Download Source, click .tar.gz
mkdir ~/dfhack
mv ~/Downloads/peter-dfhack* ~/dfhack
cd ~dfhack
tar zxvf peter-dfhack*.tar.gz
cd peter-dfhack<tab complete>
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:string=Release
make
arch (looking for .i686 or x86_64, basically 32-bit or 64-bit)
if 64-bit:
  sudo cp ~/dfhack/peterix-dfhack*/build/bin/libdfhack.so /usr/lib64
if 32-bit:
  sudo cp ~/dfhack/peterix-dfhack*/build/bin/libdfhack.so /usr/lib

2. Install allegro5 and devel libs needed

sudo yum install allegro5 allegro5-devel allegro5-addon-ttf-devel allegro5-addon-image-devel allegro5-addon-dialog-devel

3. Download Stonesense and build:

cd ~
svn checkout http://stonesense.googlecode.com/svn/trunk stonesense
cd stonesense
rm -rf allegro
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:string=Release
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=~/dfhack/peterix-dfhack<tab complete>/library/include make

DONE!  Should be able to start stonesense with ~/stonesense/stonesense &

Enjoy.

Looks like the Linux build is broken.  Looks like attempting to make attempts to compile the Windows binaries.

First I got:

In file included from /home/splat/stonesense/stonesense/Block.cpp:1:0:                                                         
/home/splat/stonesense/stonesense/common.h:13:34: fatal error: allegro5/allegro_ttf.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

This was fixed with ln -s ./allegro/allegro5/ ./allegro5 from the stonesense root.

Next pass produces:

/home/splat/stonesense/stonesense/allegro5/platform/almsvc.h:19:16: fatal error: io.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

io.h is a Windows header, not to mention msvc refers to MS VC.

I have all the libs that are claimed to be required:

allegro5-devel-5.0.0-3.fc15.x86_64
zlib-devel-1.2.5-3.fc15.x86_64
libpng-devel-1.2.44-3.fc15.x86_64
cmake-2.8.4-1.fc15.x86_64
make-3.82-4.fc15.x86_64
gcc-c++-4.6.0-7.fc15.x86_64

Any thoughts on how to build from here?

So I have most recent LNP 9.1 (with slate 2.3).  Stonesense working fine on one machine.  Set it up on a second machine (This one a Win 7 VM inside VirtualBox), DF / DT work fine.  Stonesense will flicker like it's trying to open for about 3-5 seconds, then come back with an APPCRASH in stonesense.exe with the trace back to allegro5.dll

Scoured around for an answer, and nothing.

Tried:

Turning image cache off/on, setting image cache size to 4k, 2k, 1k.  Setting the renderer to SOFTWARE.

stonesense.log yields nothing other than:

Stonesense launched
Using allegro version 5.0.0 r1

Any ideas of what to try next?
