Newton is a physics library similar to ode designed to be used in 3D games. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 64787 [details] dev-games/newton-1.32 Remaining issues: - upstream does not label releases - the tutorials are build, but they loose the executable flag. since they need a wrapper to run correct (they don't find the textures if you run them not from within the bin directory), that could be caught there. I wanted to write a wrapper where you just type "newton-demo 1" to start the first demo and so on. But I'm to lazy now :D

I starting with 1.53 I will start using that naming convension to name the downloads files. I was using the convetion Name0x but I think you are correct it does not give any information to new users. I will send this email to Alain so he make the nessesary changes to the files that are already in teh download site. > Hello, > > I am a member of the games team for Gentoo Linux.

Here is the download site address for the current version http://www.newtondynamics.com/downloads/newtonLinux-1.52.tar.gz This is the address for the current next bug fixes path. http://www.newtondynamics.com/downloads/newtonLinux-1.53.tar.gz This is not finish yet, but it should be completely compatible with 1.52 plus it has the SSE enable code.

Created attachment 84906 [details] dev-games/newton/newton-1.52.ebuild This is my current ebuild. I can't get the samples to build and really haven't spent any time on it, but perhaps this will set someone on the right track.
I've now (finally) added newton 1.53 to portage... enjoy!
