After emerging Duke Nukem 3D (duke3d-20040817.ebuild) I found out that while
it compiles fine it refuses to start with the message "Not enough memory for
file grouping system".
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
After some digging I found that there is an endianness problem - game does
necessary byte-swapping only on Mac. Below is the patch that solved the
problem for me.

Just curious, but have you checked to see if this has been fixed upstream?
Nope. I just wanted to see it running on my machine _now_ ;)
Curious, the homepage just describes a Linux/x86 and a Mac OS X/ppc port. No
Linux/ppc port. So I'm not sure if it will run on Linux/ppc.
dholm, you set the ~ppc keyword. Tell us more ;-)
Well... Without the change I did it compiled but crashed (wrong byte swapping
due to wrong endianness). After the change it starts fine, plays the intros
etc. Then I started the game - it worked too but not fast enough as for my
liking so I played for maybe two minutes and quited. So for me - now it is
properly marked as ~ppc as it does run to some extent.
awesome, added to cvs, thanks ... also e-mailed it upstream
(This is in the upstream CVS now. Thanks for the patch!)
