It seems there is a great difference between the graphics/sounds of freecraft-fcmp package and where all the ccl files try to find them... arnaud.jeansen@insa-rouen.fr 2004-01-16 09:57:45 0000 OK, I made it work for me (had a brilliant idea right after typing my "I give up" comment). First, freecraft and freecraft-fcmp both install some ccl files... So, where freecraft installs ccl files to search for the "original" set of souds/graphics, freecraft-fcmp installs ccl files searching for the "free" set of medias... the funny thing is that they are completely different, so YOU HAVE TO EMERGE FREECRAFT-FCMP AFTER FREECRAFT (made the same mistake), maybe this could be added as prerequisite in freecraft-fcmp Then, the path to the freecraft files (i.e /usr/share/games/freecraft) is not known to the game... Don't know how to solve cleanly this one, I used a piggy way : running freecraft from the lib directory /usr/share/games/freecraft$ freecraft And there it works... the two issues should be solved though vapier@gentoo.org 2004-01-16 12:38:14 0000 i really dont know how you managed to emerge freecraft-fcmp without emerging freecraft first freecraft-fcmp has a DEPEND on freecraft vapier@gentoo.org 2004-01-16 12:40:28 0000 as for running `freecraft`, if you had read the output after the emerge you would have seen this: Freecraft is now installed but in order to actually play you will need to either use a Warcraft CD or install the freecraft-fcmp ebuild. To start a game just run `playfreecraft`. 'playfreecraft' is a wrapper around 'freecraft' to make it work ... i'll change the ebuild since you guys were unable to read the documentation so that 'freecraft' works as expected arnaud.jeansen@insa-rouen.fr 2004-01-17 04:25:13 0000 Well, thanks for mentioning the dependancy exists. In fact, I tried to install freecraft a few times with different source packages. I think this might have fulfilled the dependancy requirement, and accepted to install both in the wrong order. But concerning the playfreecraft wrapper, I read about it, but couldn't find any script/program of this name. Where is it located ? netbix@tiscali.it 2004-01-17 15:46:27 0000 ok. I start a game just run `playfreecraft`. Work fine. vapier@gentoo.org 2004-01-17 16:23:32 0000 i'm gonna fix it to get rid of the 'playfreecraft' wrapper vapier@gentoo.org 2004-01-17 17:43:47 0000 fixed in cvs
