Description:   Opened: 2005-10-17 13:32 0000 
nwmouse enables hardware mouse cursors for Neverwinter Nights.

This ebuild needs a small patch to the script /opt/nwn/nwn, provided by
games-rpg/nwn-data, to add the following lines before the call to nwmain:

if [[ -f ./nwmouse.so ]]; then
    export XCURSOR_PATH="$(pwd)"
    export XCURSOR_THEME=nwmouse
    export LD_PRELOAD=./nwmouse.so:$LD_PRELOAD
fi

I'll provide a patch in bug 106789.

ebuild for nwmouse

Just curious, but what does this ebuild need elfutils for?

Bah... the stinking thing uses 32-bit ASM so can't compile on amd64... I think
I
need to make a binary version of this linked against the proper 32-bit
emul-libs
for amd64 support.

It really *is* a dirty hack, as it patches the nwmain binary on load. I think
it
uses elfutils to find the proper locations to patch. OTOH, there's probably no
other way to install hooks into a closed binary that didn't define hooks in the
first place.

I have no AMD64, so I can't help there. Feel free to reject the ebuild if you
think it is too limited/dirty/hackish.

Actually, I got it working fine on AMD64 by compiling it manually on x86.  I
think that instead of always building it from source, I'm just going to provide
a pre-compiled libelf.so.1 and the libdisasm.so, along with nwmouse.so, as I got
it to work on my AMD64 box fine.

Try out this ebuild instead... see if it works for you... if it does, I'll
probably commit one like it instead, since it works on both x86 and amd64.

nwmouse-0.1.ebuild

updated w/ mod-x dependencies.

OK.  I need to compile up a new version of the nwmouse files so they don't have
the QA warnings.  I'm going to guess that this actually works for people, since
I haven't heard anyone complain about it being broken.

I've added this to portage now... enjoy...
