Preliminary ebuild which gets the compile going. Unfortunately there are still many linking errors, like for example:

Possibly a missing -lstdc++ argument when linking? It seems though that the Makefile does provide this argument.

Finally a working compile (fixed glew dep, and sed errors), no install yet though.

Now with installation into /opt. I managed to start the game, but did not try anything else yet.

Marking old ebuild obsolete

[Comment 6 hkBst 2023-09-13 07:19:18 UTC]

The ebuild needs an EAPI bump, since apparently EAPI 7 is no longer supported.

update EAPI to 8 and remove eutils eclass since it seems to no longer be needed.
