Not sure if this is an amd64 problem... Athlon 64 X2 4200+, 2GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6100 (onboard) Running Gentoo amd64 Linux release 2006.1 This package is not currently masked for amd64. I purchased a few years ago Soldier of Fortune from Loki, so I have the original CD. I followed the emerge instructions but got the following error: emerge output follows --------------------- gemini myuser # emerge soldieroffortune Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) games-fps/soldieroffortune-1.06a to / * sof-1.06a-cdrom-x86.run MD5 ;-) ...

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
In the ebuild, try changing: loki_patch patch.dat ${Ddir} >& /dev/null || die "patching" To: export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 loki_patch patch.dat "${Ddir}" || die "patching" This is from http://icculus.org/lgfaq/#chasingmyowntail
I'm guessing this is fixed... I added Paul's fix...

OK, REOPEN...
is that patch necessary or we can handle the failure?
Patrizio, can you , please , change ebuild line loki_patch patch.dat ${Ddir} >& /dev/null || die "patching" into loki_patch patch.dat ${Ddir} || die "patching" and paste the output from emerging?

any idea about this? i cannot install my favourite game :(
3 months, no news :(
ping
it's impossibile to have any version of sof merged, so if this will not be fixed ebuild should be removed.
Is this still failing to install?
It seems that this package is no longer maintained by games and broken since at least 14 years. I suggest to treeclean this unmaintained game from the year 2000.
Is this any better with https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=ed1d18bc688c10c0ecc6ad3c9f49140e51b555fa?
