Description Alan Williams 2006-09-07 20:05:21 UTC

Attached megazeux-2.81c.ebuild and a patch to compile correctly when prefix is set to "/usr/games".

Megazeux is a game creation system made for DOS around 1994 based on an older GCS made by Epic in 1991 called ZZT. The source code has been GPLed and was ported to SDL. Several Megazeux games are available at http://digitalmzx.net/ and require Megazeux to run.

games-engines/megazeux seems to make sense.

Comment 7 Alan Williams 2007-01-21 01:50:21 UTC

I just found that Megazeux 2.81e appears to depend on OpenGL headers when being built (includes SDL_opengl.h), but it loads the OpenGL library at runtime (using SDL_GL_LoadLibrary() and SDL_GL_GetProcAddress()) and as such doesn't require an OpenGL implementation to run. However, I couldn't find anything in portage for just the OpenGL headers themselves, and am wondering if I should just have it depend on virtual/opengl. I'll ask ajs (Megazeux maintainer) about possibly making the building of the OpenGL renderer optional, though.

megazeux-2.81f.ebuild

The new version has the option to disable compiling of the OpenGL renderer, so now  it uses the "opengl" USE flag.

megazeux-2.81g.ebuild

This new version has the option of using the included version of ModPlug for module music, MikMod, or to be built without support for module music at all.

This new version has the option of disabling the whole audio subsystem, the overlay renderers, and the editor. It also has the option of making PNG screenshots, rather than BMP.

New version

Just a question: Why this game engine isn't over the Gentoo overlay after so many time? And Gentoo Sunrise?
