Description Marek Szuba (RETIRED) archtester

The scummvm ebuild doesn't set the datadir correctly, as a result the program keeps looking for its files in /usr/local/share/scummvm instead of /usr/share/games/scummvm. The files installed in the datadir are used by ScummVM's "modern" theme engine, without access to them the program reverts to its classic, monochrome GUI.

Enclosed you will find a patch which remedies the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch scummvm from the command line
2. See it complain about not finding modern.ini
3. strace it to see it looking for a completely wrong directory
Actual Results:  
Scummvm reverts to the old-style, monochrome GUI.

Expected Results:  
With the files installed  by the ebuild, scummvm should use its modern (colourful and themeable) GUI.
