1. You should specify a --with-cs-prefix at the configure lines of cel and planeshift. People who have another version of crystal space installed might have the CRYSTAL var set which makes the cel and planeshift builds using the wrong crystalspace version 2. Rename the app to "planeshift". Is there any reason to name it "playplaneshift" ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
2. games in portage usually install as 'play<blahblah>' ... kind of standard ya know ?
please take a look at this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=306182#306182 it includes many things/bugs where the crystalspace, cel and planeshift ebuilds don't play nice together, but in the end we got it fixed.
Good to read. Why aren't you filling in bug reports? I assume not all developers are reading the forums. Anyway I looked at your reports and think I fixed all the bugs, I created a new cel ebuild (in another bug request) and I just completed an improved planeshift ebuild. If you use these 2 ebuilds then you shouldn't have any problem.

On another not: None of my installed games has a "play" prefix. Whoever setup this "standard" should think about it again. I had to search around before realizing that the executable is called playplaneshift instead of planeshift. The play-prefix is really unintuitive and makes no sense.
I just finished emerge for the new cel and plainshift ebuild's then loged out and loged back in.. this is what i get now: $ playplaneshift no CEL environment variable set! Warning: Failed to load `vfs'; use '-verbose' argument for details. Warning: Failed to load `vfs'; use '-verbose' argument for details. WARNING: could not load plugin 'crystalspace.kernel.vfs' Couldn't load vfs plugin! csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed! Is your CRYSTAL environment var set? If i set the crystal and cel env var's then everything works fine: $ export CRYSTAL=/opt/crystal $ export CEL=/usr/games/bin Is there any chance that we could just somehow make the ebuild create some sort of link so that these env var's wouldnt have to be manually set every time i want to play planeshift?
It only seems to work as root. ..but Im getting a lot of segmentation faults durning gameplay.
Created attachment 11858 [details] even more improved planeshift build Improved it a bit more: -Don't install unneccesary junk (headerfiles, complete out directory tree from compilation) -The startup script is called "planeshift" now instead of the unintuitive "playplaneshift"
when i run: CEL=/opt/crystal/ CRYSTAL=/opt/crystal/ /usr/games/bin/planeshift i still get: Cannot use preferred GLX visual - Generic visual will be used. it worked on my prevous install (i reinstalled the system), plus GLX works just fine in bzflag :] ...any ideas? yea, i use the latest ebuilds from bugzilla for both CEL and PS
solved it ...i just had to change bpp to 24 ...wierd solution, but still - whatever keeps the pants up :]
Today I am trying to install planeshift. A couple of notes not clearly stated here. 1) cyrystal space installs into /opt/crystal with permissions such that the cel install is unable to read the directory and find cs-config. The forum link says chmod -R 775 /opt/crystal permissions should be a little stricter than that; but cel needs to be able to read cs-config in /opt/crystal/bin to finish the install. 2) The planeshift-xxx.tbz2 finished its download and came with a permission of 600 needs to be 644 or 611 otherwise the ebuild fails because it cannot unpack. 3) also ran into the problem in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=51215 when i did emerge --resume I noticed a bunch of premission denied errors that referred to /opt/crystal/bin/cel.cex changed to 644 insttead of 640 as was installed permissions and those errors went away. Still saw a bunch related to mysqlclient. No clue what was needed there. Trying new ebuild-r1 "more improved version" "failed updating 56 targets" was the most telling error. !!! ERROR: app-games/planeshift-0.2.010-r1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 31, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) So at least here it doesn't look ready for primetime.
Hi Got it to install. the environment variable cel must be defined in order for planetshift to compile or run. This was accomplished with export cel=/opt/crystal/include Still it would not install. Fought permission problems thru the whole install. Likely because of the /opt dir install. The planetshift or cel install one needs to make the dir perm for /optcrystal/include/bl /opt/crystal/include/pl and /opt/crystal/include/pf to something more lenient than 750 i used 755 and planetshift installed. bus_drivr
ok still had errors from the compile. chmod 644 /opt/crystal/bin/cel.cex fixed those. In order to run the thing user has to export CRYSTAL=/opt/crystal/bin export CEL=/usr/games/bin probably needs to be set somewhere maybe bashrc? bus_drivr
just a small note about the 'play' prefixing ... it makes sense when you want to 'playq3aMOD' ... and it make sense when you have a binary that uses a filename but in order to actually 'play' the game you have to pass arguments to it to make it work ... if 'playplaneshift' doesnt really fall under these categories, well that was a mistake i made ... i'm not a crystalspace/planeshift/etc... expert ;)
Well planeshift falls in the category where you have to pass paramteres to play the game (well in this case you have to set environment variables). But the point here is that you'd never pass custom values here but just pass some installation directories. (Future versions of planeshift probably won't need these settings anymore anyway). The script is more like a wrapper to start the thing (like in galeon/galeon-bin and others). The prefix "play" for these scripts is somewhat confusing as I'm searching for the "planeshift" executable when I want to play the game.

I am using the ebuilds from bugzilla (this bug and #20383) as suggested, but it doesn't compile anyway. Directory permissions are set correctly, build fails with: ...interrupted ...failed updating 14 target(s)... ...skipped 6 target(s)... ...updated 39 target(s)... /usr/local/portage/app-games/planeshift/planeshift-0.2.010-r1.ebuild: src_compile aborted; exiting.
Shouldn't have planeshift a dependancy on MySQL? (for servers only, perhaps a flag then?)
ive version bumped planeshift in cvs to incorporate all your changes once again, sorry for all the trouble :) ive left out the mysql feature for now ... please open a new bug so as to pursue that
