Bug 197130 – games-fps/soldieroffortune-demo-0.57 requires libSDL-1.1.so.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gustavo 2007-10-26 13:31:50 UTC]

I've emerged the Soldier of Fortune (Demo) package, but, when I've started it, it said (in the terminal) that it requires libSDL-1.1.so.0. Checking the folders /usr/lib and /usr/lib32 I saw that there was only libSDL-1.2.so.0 (since I have libSDL-1.2.11-r2). Creating a symlink (by calling "ln -s libSDL-1.2.so.0 libSDL-1.1.so.0" under both folders) seems to work fine, but I guess that is not totally safe, is it?
I have installed emul-linux-x86-sdl-10.1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run soldieroffortune-demo

and to fix:

1. run "ln -s libSDL-1.2.so.0 libSDL-1.1.so.0" under both folder /usr/lib/ and /usr/lib32/

fix broken link on amd64

this ebuild doesn't work (still or again) - on amd64 the libSDL symlink is broken.
this patch fixes the problem.

[Comment 2 matt 2009-11-05 02:18:26 UTC]

i have the same problem.  the solution in comment #2 does not work for me.  the hack in comment #1 did work.  but now an undefined symbol :(

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2009-11-05 05:04:06 UTC]

patched in portage.
