Bug 292319 – games-simulation/glfrontier: new ebuild

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Thillosen 2009-11-07 22:15:20 UTC]

New ebuild to include the game GLFrontier.
It is a native port of Frontier: Elite II (through reverse-engineering) which includes OpenGL support.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




Note:
Installation implies the compilation of a 8MB C-source file (through Makefile-C)... so it is rather long and memory-intensive.
I did not use Makefile-i386 as this build has stability problems during gameplay, and is less portable.

New ebuild for GLFrontier.
Should be placed in games-simulation/glfrontier.

This ebuild works fine by me on x86.

Updated ebuild, to match new freeglut dependency, and support on amd64

Updated glfrontier-20060623.ebuild
... to match new freeglut dependency (virtua/glut does not exist any more), and support on amd64.

Should still be placed in games-simulation/glfrontier.

Works great on both x86 and amd64.
A great game; it allows us to wait until the release of the future crowd-funded sequel "Elite Dangerous" (by same author) :)
