the game fail with the following error: rootDir=/usr/games/share/data app path: scourge *** Can't find local version of data dir. You're running a distribution. ERROR: check for files failed in data dir: /usr/games/share/data Either install the data files at the above location, or rebuild with ./configure --with-data-dir=<new location> or run the game from the source distribution's main directory (the one that contains src,data,etc.) but the ebuild use this parameter to configure. the website of the game says "copy the contents of the data dir to /usr/local/share/scourge".
Created attachment 64236 [details, diff] scourge-0.10.1.diff I have find a way to have the game worked and keep files under /usr/share/games, but it's ugly in my opinion, so drop it if you don't like ;) A new minor version is downloadable at sourceforge, so I use it. I remove the patch for amd64 because the line have changed, and maybe the patch is'nt needed anymore. Unfortunally, I don't have this CPU. I cannot test.
Your patch works great for me. Thank you. Hopefully this can get moved into the ~arch soon. I love this game.
Comment on attachment 64236 [details, diff] scourge-0.10.1.diff Sorry, this patch isn't a candidate for portage. We don't allow executables in /usr/share. A patch to fix the source to properly find the datafiles in the installed location would be lovely though.
added scourge-0.10.1.ebuild to portage which works around this issue. upsteam has a better fix queued for 0.11. Thanks for the bug report.
