works nice ... though ja2 works sound glitches that makes it far less playable :( Yes I was noticing that after opening this topic. Using the ebuild, how do we affect /usr/games/bin/ja2 ? If LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 is added before the exec line the sound appears to work properly for me. I'll look at this soon (we have a pending release at work). I've got this game, so I guess I'm the candidate for getting this into the tree. ;] Thanks. I'll try to understand the sound fix which may slow me down a bit. I'm thinking the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 may work for most, but may be constrained by how glibc was compiled. I believe there is a compt USE flag which allows this to work, but may be missing for some. I'm not sure what I just said is a "real" issue or not, just thoughts. Otherwise, I was also thinking that using lib-compat-loki for the libc portion (like heroes3) may also provide a solution. I shall try to test soon... That is unless someone else already knows? (In reply to comment #6) i can already say that LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 gives me libdl.so.2: cannot open ... Thanks Anton. I'm investigating the lib-loki-compat route currently. Anton, Can you provide the output of "emerge -vp glibc" ? Thanks. sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3 USE="nls nptl nptlonly -build -glibc-omitfp -hardened -profile" So I'm pretty sure this game can have to issues starting. The first is a Segmentation fault at the command line it will look like this: ljkopen@painter:/opt/jaggedalliance2$ ./ja2 -w Jagged Alliance 2 (c) 1999 by Sir-tech Canada Ltd. All rights reserved.

() (gdb) libX11.so.6 calls sprintf() which has a problem. The guys over at Loki installers for Linux Gamers ( http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=11 ) seem to like packaging a libX11.so.6 which is LD_PRELOAD 'ed before the game begins. The second problem is related to in game sound. It appears this is resolved if an LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 is understood by the installed glibc. From some reading (http://people.redhat.com/drepper/assumekernel.html) understand that LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 relates to loader. I believe anton's "nptlonly" setting is not allowing LinuxThreads, which is what this program requires (maybe)? I assume that the loader can be replaced with another loader using LD_PRELOAD and have tried loki-compat in a method similar to heroes3, but end up with the following: ljkopen@painter:~$ /usr/games/bin/ja2 -w ./ja2: /opt/jaggedalliance2/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0) ./ja2: /opt/jaggedalliance2/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0) ./ja2: /opt/jaggedalliance2/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2) ./ja2: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.1.1' not found (required by /opt/jaggedalliance2/libc.so.6) ./ja2: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.2.3' not found (required by /opt/jaggedalliance2/libc.so.6) ./ja2: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /opt/jaggedalliance2/libc.so.6) Which looks to mean that the loki-compat loader isn't used. I need some help with two things. One: what is the gentoo way to reference the libX11.so.6. Do we download and use the one in liflg.org's runtime, or is their another/better way. Two: Why didn't my loki-compat loader and libc work? Is it ok to ask anton to compile glibc without nptlonly (I'd think not). Please help. I'm off in the deep end now! Boy. I made that look very confusing. It shouldn't be. Essentially we want to do the following to start the game: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 LD_PRELOAD=/opt/jaggedalliance2/lib/libX11.so.6.2 /opt/jaggedalliance2/ja2 -w LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 <- Is enough if glibc is compiled with glibc-compat use flags. This relates to nptl (and possibly Anton's problem with this parameter. LD_PRELOAD=/opt/jaggedalliance2/lib/libX11.so.6.2 <- suggested and provided by liflg.org. Corrects a startup Segmentation fault for some. So my two questions remain How do we allow those without library compatabilities to be allowed to use LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 . What is the gentoo method of getting/creating/using a libX11.so.6.2 . Thanks Again. I used ebuild provided in this bug to install the game (did not even download fix.c) then instructions on this Wiki page for loki compatibility libraries: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Running_Old_Loki_Games Starting the game with $LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Loki_Compat/ /opt/Loki_Compat/ld-linux.so.2 /opt/jaggedalliance2/ja2 -w seems to work just fine on my amd64. This game is not around anymore. Closing as dupe for sdl port that is actualy developed and have features like amd64 support :] *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 171475 *** |
