Hi!

I have tried to contact [e-mail] but the mail serveur return 
a error. :\

We have recently released a new version of gnomeboyadvance.
It will be a good thing to update the ebuild.
You can find it on the new web site of the project:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/gnomeboyadvance/


     Regards

         Guillaume

Here's the ebuild I'm using to test.  Seems to crash when I select About from
the menu.  Maybe I've messed up the install?

[Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2004-07-02 15:06:46 UTC]

The About crash is a bug of a old version of python-gtk.

By the way, the 0.3 version of gnomeboyadvance has been released.

A working ebuild for 0.4 would make this happen a lot faster.

Any news?
Why there is yet no 0.4 ebuild?

[Comment 7 Guillaume Desmottes 2005-04-21 13:29:04 UTC]

Because no one have made one.
I'm not a gentoo users so i can't do it. :\

gnomeboyadvance-0.4.ebuild

This is the closer I could get for a gnomeboyadvance ebuild. It does emerge
with everything ok, but it fails when running with a settings error that I'm
stuck with. 
I think it is gconf/schema related but I don't know how to fix it.

[Comment 9 Izaac Zavaleta 2005-08-26 20:40:18 UTC]

Installation went well, but when trying to run the binary i got this error:

izaac@geminai ~ $ gnomeboyadvance
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/bin/gnomeboyadvance", line 5, in ?
    gba = GnomeBoyAdvance()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gnomeboyadvance/GnomeBoyAdvance.py",
line 54, in __init__
    self.mySettings = Settings.Settings()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gnomeboyadvance/Settings.py", line 24,

in __checkBinary
    return os.access(bin, os.X_OK )
TypeError: access() argument 1 must be string, not None

what could be that?

[Comment 10 Izaac Zavaleta 2005-08-26 22:46:35 UTC]

yep is gconf/schema related, dunno how to fix it, any ideas?

[Comment 11 Guillaume Desmottes 2005-08-27 11:21:37 UTC]

Have you still this problem after a gnome restart?

[Comment 12 Izaac Zavaleta 2005-08-27 12:42:33 UTC]

Yes, it's still there

[Comment 13 Izaac Zavaleta 2005-08-27 12:47:15 UTC]

I got a report from a friend (MaoP) that if you try to run as root:

# /usr/games/gnomeboyadvance

it runs perfectly.

And voil

And voilà it works!

[Comment 15 Izaac Zavaleta 2005-08-27 12:48:48 UTC]

Ups! i mean:

# /usr/games/bin/gnomeboyadvance

[Comment 16 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-09-07 12:46:58 UTC]

Feel free to REOPEN this once it matures a bit and doesn't have this error...

[Comment 17 Izaac Zavaleta 2005-09-09 23:16:51 UTC]

well i re-emerge the ebuild and restart gnome and the only problem i got was
with the link in the gnome app menu, modifying the gnomeboyadvance.desktop will
fix that.

Thanks for the tip about restarting gnome, works fine now.

[Comment 18 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-09-19 12:10:35 UTC]

So this ebuild is working now?
