Ohh, my version is freecraft-1.18-r1 with freecraft-fcmp-1.18-r1

same versions, same mistakes here

I tried to solve it on my own but finally gave up...
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...

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

i really dont know how you managed to emerge freecraft-fcmp without emerging
freecraft first

freecraft-fcmp has a DEPEND on freecraft

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

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 ?

ok. I start a game just run `playfreecraft`.
Work fine.

i'm gonna fix it to get rid of the 'playfreecraft' wrapper

fixed in cvs
