Some of the packages in the RDEPEND section of phobiaii ebuild are not actually needed. I have been able to run the game without DirectFB, libggi, libgii & esound. I also suspect that svgalib, aalib & ncurses may not be needed but I had them installed so I can't really tell. I think it is also safe to assume that phobiaiii doesn't need both esound and arts which force a lot of other packages on systems that don't have Gnome or KDE installed (NOTE: I have only tested phobiaii as phobiaiii is almos 100MB, so this is just a speculation). Also, please note that the phobiaii ebuild is chmod-ed as 755 instead of the usual 644 and I think that you can safely add a "rm -R pics/.xvpics" to the phobiaii ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please also check games-action/chromium which also has the libggi/libgii dependency. I haven't actually tried compiling the program but I've checked the INSTALL file from the source and the website and there's no mention of GGI.
actually all the phobiaiii dependencies ARE needed ... the guy who ported it accidently linked against way more binaries than are neccessary ... i've been trying to contact him for a fixed version but no luck so far ... curse of using binary games :P root@vapier 0 phobiaiii # strings phobia3 | grep '\.so' /lib/ld-linux.so.2 libm.so.6 libdl.so.2 libpthread.so.0 libartsc.so.0 kde-base/arts libesd.so.0 media-sound/esound libaudiofile.so.0 media-libs/audiofile libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 media-libs/sdl-mixer libvorbisfile.so.0 media-libs/libvorbis libvorbis.so.0 media-libs/libvorbis libogg.so.0 media-libs/libogg libsmpeg-0.4.so.0 media-libs/smpeg libSDL-1.2.so.0 media-libs/libsdl libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 sys-libs/lib-compat libc.so.6 i'll review the phobiaii and chormium games
the extra phobiaii crap was from me running `ldd linuxphobia` instead of `strings linuxphobia | grep '\.so'` ... phobiaii only depends on like sdl now
looks like the chromium DEPEND was setup here: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/app-games/chromium/Attic/chromium-0.9.12.ebuild?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup that's 2 years, 3 months ago and no one has complained before :) it is wrong though, that DEPEND needs to be trimmed ...
oooooooooh i remember now ... that extra fluff is from the included openal libraries ... please file a new bug about chromium, thats a much bigger fish to fry
