I have made an ebuild for Lost Labyrinth. It instals to /opt/laby. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

We'd be looking for an ebuild that builds from the source.
(In reply to comment #2) > We'd be looking for an ebuild that builds from the source. Ahhh I should have mentioned that, the source of the program is open source, but you need a closed source application to compile it. The closed source app is "purebasic". Therefore it is effectively only available to most users as a binary.
Then just make the ebuild be called lostlabyrinth-bin.
Created attachment 78620 [details] lostlabyrinth-bin-2.3.4.ebuild Here is a tidied ebuild for the binary, with revision bump. As mentioned, the Linux version of this game is written in PureBasic, which is proprietary. http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/faq.html http://www.purebasic.com/ordering.php3
Paul, thanks for that. I never really wanted to be maintainer, and i kinda got caught up trying to help upstream create an ebuild on the gentoo-user list, then i submitted it to bugzilla. Yours looks like it uses portage far better than mine, excellent!
2.8.2 segfaults on exit for me which is why I haven't added it yet.

Here is an ebuild for version 2.8.5. This was just a rename of an ebuild file I was using for version 2.8.1 - I just looked on their homepage and saw that I had missed a few versions! Seems their tracker on freshmeat.net is stuck on this version. It works as much as I have played it. And I played version 2.8.1 a lot...

Version 2.9.0 is now out. The 2.8.5 ebuild works fine after renaming. I think they might have moved away from a non-free compiler to GCC. When I get some free time I'[ll research whether a source build is doable.
Created attachment 130903 [details] ebuild for version 2.9.0 This is just a cleaned up ebuild for version 2.9.0. Removed src_unpack (not needed) and added comments (mainly for my own reference). I'm unsure about the dependencies in that some other libraries may need to be added and the creation of the desktop entry may need to be changed to not specify full paths.
Looks like this is still the binary version. I want a source-based ebuild now that they're using a real language.

Alright, here is an ebuild for the source version of Lost Labyrinth. I think I have all the right dependencies in the right places, please check if you can. Had to use some sed-foo to make the build respect compiler flags and choice. Note that during the compilation, the main program file takes a long time and uses a lot of memory on my desktop system (verging on 5 minutes and using up to 800MB resident memory on my system). I haven't verified if this is just this system or the beginning of a trend by compiling on my laptop, which I will try. Other than that, it compiles, and I could load the game and play it. Although I did die on the first level from several fireballs from a goblin mage I couldn't reach because of a giant snail. Don't you hate that? Can anyone test and confirm it works? Also please adjust ebuild if I've made any mistakes. Cheers, Joshua
Created attachment 154307 [details] updated ebuild for source version 2.9.2 Here is an updated ebuild for source version 2.9.2. Ebuild now respects LDFLAGS when linking, uses pkg-config to get SDL link and cflags and some other issues which are commented within the src_compile function in the ebuild itself. Cheers, Josh
3.0.0 is out.
Created attachment 159999 [details] Live source ebuild Here is a live source ebuild. There are some minor 'improvements' on my last effort of a source ebuild for 2.9.2 (attachment #154307 [details]). Note that you need a lot of memory to compile this, it seems to want 1GB resident memory on my machines I have compiled on. This pretty much grinds my old Athlon XP 2600 to a halt for a while...
Created attachment 169918 [details] updated live ebuild Compilation now respects LDFLAGS and removed installation of some unnecessary files.
@joshua: life in the laby is hard :-) I included a link to this page on the laby download page. So all the gentoo users know that it already exists (sometimes people ask or want to write a new one). why is this ebuild not going to portage? nobody likes the game? :-)

I don't think this 'live' ebuild will get added to Gentoo as ebuilds from development sources are generally discouraged. I've been meaning to write an ebuild for the latest released version, will post here if I do.
Version 3.4.4 is out.
The next version of laby will take a while as we are changing a lot of things in the game to linked lists. This will make it possible to have more than one monster/item per field. The svn will not work for some weeks then. I changed the webserver access so maybe the script could be changed to build from our released files. The list you can get here now: http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/download/
