Bugzilla Bug 30599

Emerging of the games-arcade/frozen-bubble-1.0.0-r2.ebuild fails, on my system
with sys-devel/libperl-5.8.1 (gcc 3.3.1-r4, glibc 2.3.2-r1) installed, as
follows:

 make: *** [dirs] Error 1 

 !!! ERROR: games-arcade/frozen-bubble-1.0.0-r2 failed.

When symlinking 
ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.8 /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.0
the ebuild completes flawless.

Upon running, the game fails with errors stating that it's unable to find
certain (perl related) files.

Can't locate fb_stuff.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1

 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/games/bin/frozen-bubble line 59.

The requested file resides in
/usr/games/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux/fb_stuff.pm, which is not in
the game's @INC. After symlinking this file similar failures occur. My guess is
that frozen-bubble doesn't know how to handle the installment of libperl-5.8.1

run this:
emerge `qpkf -f -nc /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0`
rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0
(assuming of course you yourself havent placed anything into that directory)

then `emerge frozen-bubble` should work

The frozen-bubble ebuild seems not prepared for media-libs/sdl-gfx-2.0.8
(including /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.8.0.0) because it wants /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.0
from media-libs/sdl-gfx-2.0.3; I guess therefore symlinking
ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.8 /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.0 fixed by build.

Then the frozen bubble program @INC doesn't seem to know about perl 5.8.1
putting files in /usr/games/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux/ (it needs
for example fb_stuff.pm and fb_c_stuff.pm). I found out that /etc/perl was
not used on my system while it is frozen-bubble's @INC list; so I symlinked
a very nasty
ln -s /usr/games/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux/ /etc/perl 
but frozen-bubble launched straight away...

After running the options menu the game still crashes when triggering 1player
game: 

[SDL Init] [Graphics...] [Levels] mcop warning: user defined signal handler
found for SIG_PIPE, overriding
[Sound Init]
Ready.
Illegal instruction

As reaction to SpanKY:
emerge `qpkf -f -nc /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0` 
(I took it as qpkg?) dropped out after 12 of the 21 emerges, stating:

emerge 1.0.0-r3 and you should be all set

I compiled frozen-bubble on my 2 gentoo systems;

on the first (P4 - 2.8Ghz, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86", -march=pentium3 -O3) the
new frozen-bubble 1.0.0-r3 compiled straight away (GCC 3.3.1-r4, perl 5.8.1,
sdl-gfx 2.0.8 ) but I run into this 'illiegal instruction' when trying to
run the game.

on the second (AMD XP1800+,  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86", -march=athlon-xp -O3)
the new frozen-bubble 1.0.0-r3 wouldn't compile before I symlinked /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.8.0.0
to /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.8.0.0 (GCC 3.3.1-r4, perl 5.8.1, sdl-gfx 2.0.8
) but the game runs flawless.

i.e. the bug seems solved for my P4 system, but not for the AMD box; while
the problem stated in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30643 seems
to occur only on the P4 system.

well considering that the original bug this was made for is fixed, we'll
leave this bug as FIXED ...

after all your new bug is unrelated and as such we'll handle it at Bug 30643

*** Bug 30756 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Nope, sorry. It's not quite resolved yet. I am having the same problem and the
aforementioned fixes didn't work for me.

I've had a similar problem like this before, and grepping out the libs tells me
that the authors of SDL-Perl made a typo. Where they have 'filledpieColor' it
should be 'filledPieColor'. Note the capitalization. If you grep the SDL libs,
you'll note that while you can't find 'filledpieColor' you can find
'filledPieColor'. Here's a patch for all you happy people. It should finally
fix the dastardly problem once and for all.

(By the way, this problem occurs with SDL-Perl 1.20.3, which, on my system, the
Frozen Bubble ebuild emerges as a dependency.)

Created an attachment (id=50874) [edit]
A patch to fix the filledpie* typos in SDL-Perl

Just patch this as usual into your SDL-Perl ebuild if it suffers from the
typos. As far as I can tell, it probably does.

How do you mean "Just patch this as usual into your SDL-Perl ebuild" ? I'm not
up to date with how to patch files that way...

Cheers

thanks Ryan Egesdahl, 1.20.3-r1 in portage now with that patch
