Created attachment 388688 [details] build.log we should either fix the dep or check if there is an upstream fix
Quite possible that there is a fix in the new version 0.4.4. The bump is delayed since I don't have access to a Gentoo machine connected to a monitor at the moment. Feel free to go ahead if you have time.
I have a working ebuild for 0.4.4, but every time I want to start a (local) game it throws "the connection to the server has been lost" out.
*** Bug 531454 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Send ebuild or share in github, I wanna try.
any progress?
I bumped to 0.4.4 with an apropriate patch for ogre-1.9. Like Julian I can't start a local game either. Somebody should take this upstream. Patch is from here: http://sourceforge.net/p/freeorion/bugs/569/ I made 0.4.3 depend on <ogre-1.9 so that I don't have to backport the patch. +*freeorion-0.4.4 (12 Jan 2015) + + 12 Jan 2015; Thomas Kahle <tomka@gentoo.org> +files/ogre-1.9-compat.patch, + +freeorion-0.4.4.ebuild, freeorion-0.4.3.ebuild: + bump, compatibility with ogre-1.9, make 0.4.3 depend on old ogre (bug #528480)
I checked the freeoriond.log and there's following error: DEBUG Server : Python current directory set to /usr/share/games/freeorion/default/universe_generation ERROR Server : Unable to import universe generator script ERROR Server : ImportError: No module named universe_generator ... But when I run the game this way: export PYTHONPATH="/usr/share/games/freeorion/default/universe_generation"; freeorion the local game starts fine.
Thanks for the research. I don't really understand what is going on. Probably some basic python stuff that you guys can teach me about. The relevant cpp code is universe/PythonUniverseGenerator.cpp. This starts a python interpreter, sets the path with os.chdir to the path where the python modules are, and then does import universe_generator Now if we look into default/universe_generation/universe_generator.py", the third line there is import fo_universe_generator as fo I don't know where that "fo_universe_generator" module is, and neither does the python interpretor. If I repreoduce this on the command line (with python2.6), I get what is expected: ImportError: No module named fo_universe_generator I think this is how it fails also within freeorion. (With python-3 I get a syntax error, the script is python 2.) I have no idea why setting the PYTHONPATH works? I certainly don't have that fo_ module. Is it autogenerated, or what is this syntax?
(In reply to Thomas Kahle from comment #8) > I have no idea why setting the PYTHONPATH works? I certainly don't have > that fo_ module. Is it autogenerated, or what is this syntax? OK, I know. The module is the CPP interface and somehow dynamically generated by the cpp code via boost. The python code is generated in line 1087 of PythonUniverseGenerator.cpp via the BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE macro. @python: How do we do this in Gentoo?
The wrapper script is broken. The '--resource-dir' argument needs a FULL path, not a relative one. Debatable whether that's an upstream bug. It should probably just refuse relative directories.

Hasufell, feel free (by that I mean encouraged) to port improvements from your overlay to the tree version.
