Comment 11 Freyr Gunnar Ólafsson 2005-03-24 01:57:20 UTC
Why isn't this ebuild already gone into the tree ?!
Does anyone know or has is simply been forgotten or something?
Comment 12 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-24 04:33:21 UTC
Maybe because there is 84418 bugs before this one?  Maybe because there are other bugs that are higher priority?  Maybe because the games developers are also developers in other areas such as QA and Release Engineering that most users consider quite a bit more important than glest and therefore get a higher priority?  Maybe none of us have had time to test the game?

I can think of about a thousand more reasons why this hasn't gone in, but to be honest, I know the reason is time.  New ebuild requests generally get the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to bugs that we work on, as pretty much any other bug is higher priority and reaches far more people.  Is there something preventing you from using this in your overlay?
Comment 13 Robert Schuster 2005-03-25 11:00:20 UTC
My suggestions:

1. Propose a package (games-strategy?)

2. Add ~arch only for archictures you really had access to.

3. The fact that you are using revision 5 of glest's source code should be reflected by the ebuild's version number. I know that this is somehow conflicting with this versioning scheme. Maybe you could contact the author of glest to name future releases like '1.0.10.revision' instead.

4. The CVS header is missing in the ebuild. Please synchronize with /usr/portage/skel.ebuild

5. The tone in the bugreports is getting worse IMHO. This GNU/Linux distribution needs an update to it's ebuild management policy. 

Btw: Stripping the binaries took a lot of time on my machine. Is this normal?

Otherwise the ebuild is fine and it worked on my machine. Thank you very much for your work.

The is no problem with the ebuild version theme. AFAIK there is the '_p#'-suffix (patchlevel) for such revisions, see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1
so the ebuild should be named glest-1.0.10_p5.ebuild

You could avoid the explicit naming of the version inside the ebuild with this:
DATAVERSION="${PV/_p?/}"
SOURCEREVISION="${PV/_p/-r}"
SRC_URI="http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uxsm/glest-${SOURCEREVISION}-source.tar.bz2
http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~unatc/glest/glest-${DATAVERSION}-data.tar.bz2"
(I hope this works; sorry that I haven't testet this but I'm not at my machine right now)

ebuild for glest-1.0.10_p5

1. renamed to 1.0.10_p5
2. added support for autogenerated source and data version
3. fixed header
4. added 3 language files (german, russian, danish)
5. added desktop entry (icon, anyone?)

(tested on x86)

A icon for glest

I know this icon is crap. I whipped it up in a couple of minutes. I'll make a
better one after I have had some sleep. Please use this as a placeholder. Hey,
it's better then nothing, righ?
Comment 18 Daniel Kontsek 2005-03-28 07:27:44 UTC
I think this doesn't belongs here, but I have this problem, when running glest:

dano@picard:~ $ glest 
void Shared::Platform::Window::setStyle(Shared::Platform::WindowStyle) not implemented.
void Shared::Platform::Window::setBounds(int, int, int, int) not implemented.
virtual void Shared::Platform::PlatformContextGl::makeCurrent() not implemented.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Your system doesn't support OpenGL version 1.3
  You may solve this problem by installing your latest video card drivers
  /usr/games/bin/glest: line 32:  6966 Aborted                 ./glest


OpenGL should work, because quake3 is running fast. Glxgears gives 1300 FPS. DRI is on. Using radeon driver from xorg. Having Ati radeon mobility 7500.

ebuild for glest-1.0.10_p5 (>=media-libs/openal-20040303)

media-libs/openal-20020127 is too old to allow compiling glest.
That is why we need ">=media-libs/openal-20040303" dependency.
Comment 23 Sudrien 2005-03-31 07:16:59 UTC
p7 is out with a Font Exception fix (which I get currently).

renamed ebuild seems to be trying to unpack *.lng files - I doubt it should be doing that. egamesconf giving error.

Comment 26 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-04-01 16:40:21 UTC
can you guys try out the new wrapper script / ebuild ?

question ... why is the libglestlib.a installed ?  it's not a dynamic library so it's not like the glest binary will be using it ...
Comment 27 Matze Braun 2005-04-02 06:47:16 UTC
Spanky: libglestlib.a is installed because I never even created or tested the install target, simply speaking don't use the "jam install" and copy the stuff yourself for the current versions.
After all it didn't make much sense to install the original packages (of course your wrapper script is a nice workaround for this...)
Maybe if I find more time I'll try to make this game really LFS compliant.
Comment 28 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-04-02 22:15:18 UTC
k k, well for now i say not bother installing it if the game works fine without it :)

so the new ebuild works fine ?
Comment 29 Sudrien 2005-04-07 14:32:02 UTC
The ebuild emerges.

do a "rm ~/.glesr -Rf && glest"

and get:

/usr/games/bin/glest: line 23: /home/sudrien/.glest/glest: No such file or directory
/usr/games/bin/glest: line 23: exec: /home/sudrien/.glest/glest: cannot execute: No such file or directory

ls -l gives


lrwxrwxrwx  1 sudrien users  27 Apr  7 17:28 data -> /usr/share/games/glest/data
lrwxrwxrwx  1 sudrien users  28 Apr  7 17:28 glest -> /usr/share/games/glest/glest

/usr/share/games/glest/glest does not exist.

Comment 30 Sudrien 2005-04-07 14:33:24 UTC
er...

that was "rm ~/.glest -Rf && glest"
Comment 31 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-04-09 21:42:28 UTC
ok, i fixed the wrapper script and added to portage, thanks everyone

file a new bug for issues relating to whats in portage now ...
Comment 32 Jon 2006-09-16 06:17:49 UTC
Emerged glest from amd64 system. I kept on getting:

Exception: Can't open properties file: glest.ini

and after this was fixed:

Exception: Can't open properties file: data/lang/english.lng

Both were solved by copying the files over to ~/.glest and keeping the directory structure (so there were ~/.glest/glest.ini and ~/.glest/data/lang/english.lng files) Could this be corrected in the ebuild?
Comment 33 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-18 20:17:43 UTC
Sure.  Would you file a bug for that problem, since this bug was to have the ebuild added to portage.
