This package does not support Python 3.11. Please test it with Python 3.11 as a matter of urgency as the default will change in early June, as per message on gentoo-dev: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/abb5788ea81c7bbf4d40a2995b682eb9. Please check the information provided in the tracker. Ask in #gentoo-python on IRC if need any help. $ pkgcheck scan -k PythonCompatUpdate games-util/minigalaxy games-util/minigalaxy PythonCompatUpdate: version 1.0.2: PYTHON_COMPAT updates available: python3_10, python3_11 PythonCompatUpdate: version 1.1.0: PYTHON_COMPAT update available: python3_11
I did the obvious - simply copied the ebuild to a local overlay and changed the Python requirements to 3.11. It took a few other tweaks to get it to build, here's an excerpt from package.use: #20231217 - minigalaxy hack for GOG populous games-util/minigalaxy system-dosbox system-scummvm x11-libs/wxGTK webkit media-libs/libcanberra gtk3 media-libs/opencv -gtk3 This gets it to install, but it does not run, complaining about "WebKit2". That's actually what the wxGTK USE flag was attempting to fix. It may have changed the error messages some, but did not fix it. Here is the latest: $ minigalaxy Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.11/minigalaxy", line 66, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.11/minigalaxy", line 57, in main from minigalaxy.ui import Window File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/minigalaxy/ui/__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from minigalaxy.ui.window import Window File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/minigalaxy/ui/window.py", line 6, in <module> from minigalaxy.ui.login import Login File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/minigalaxy/ui/login.py", line 5, in <module> gi.require_version('WebKit2', '4.0') File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 126, in require_version raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace) ValueError: Namespace WebKit2 not available
I've made additional changes in /etc/portage/package.use and have it working - almost. Now the GUI comes up, I was able to login, and get the messages: Failed to retrieve library. Couldn't connect to GOG servers. Here are my entries that made it work: #20231217 - minigalaxy hack for GOG populous games-util/minigalaxy system-dosbox system-scummvm x11-libs/wxGTK webkit media-libs/libcanberra gtk3 media-libs/opencv -gtk3 net-libs/webkit-gtk introspection x11-libs/gtk+ introspection gui-libs/gtk introspection media-libs/graphene introspection media-libs/clutter-gtk introspection net-libs/libproxy introspection dev-libs/json-glib introspection media-libs/mesa gles2 media-libs/cogl gles2 introspection media-libs/clutter egl introspection I tried adding "introspection" across the board to my system, but that does not fix the above error.
OK, I have it working. Turns out that the games I bought "on sale" are not listed as Linux-compatible, even though I believe they're supposed to run using dosbox. I'll read more later and try to do this myself. Anyway, I found a free game listed as linux-compatible, "bought" it, and demonstrated function in minigalaxy. To put briefly what I've made in many posts, I simply changed the Python version to 3.11 and tweaked a bunch of USE flags. I've not done much with ebuilds but I'll see what I can do. I also note that in the version I have running is from the metahax overlay and is 1.0.2. According to the minigalaxy page the guru overlay has 1.1.0 and other Linux distributions have as high as 1.2.5 available.
