the equinox licence.

Unfortunately it's distributed as binaries under a shareware licence. This
is
that licence. (Nothing objectionable, except that you're not allowed to modify
it at all).

sample config file.

This is a sample config file to get the plugins to load from the right place.
The ebuild assumes it lives in files/.

Can we add it in portage ? it's a great software and it's getting more and more popular.

Maybe media-gfx/equinox/ ?

Thanks

Ebuild for the latest version... didn't test it, since after starting it I saw
how much I disklike it :D (I will stay with wings3d)

By: "didn't test it" I mean that I didn't test the program, but I tested the ebuild and it works.

Comment 7 Toffanin Mauro 2005-01-28 13:52:09 UTC

i have installed equinox 0.8.58 and the ebuild work for me

Comment 8 Toffanin Mauro 2005-01-28 14:32:04 UTC

when i start the program i return this Dialog Error:

"Couldn't read any image-file I/O modules, you won't be able to use 2D textures and icons!

Reason:

Could not read file : /home/workstation/E3DP/ImageIO/Formats.list"

the file ImageIO/Formatas.list is not in the user home but in this dir:

/usr/lib/equinox/ImageIO/Formats.list

something in the 0.8.58 ebuild is wrong

Re-assign a stale bug.

Still actively developped upstream, unfortunately the ebuild here is very outdated. If you can provide uptodate one and either find a maintainer, or if you want to maintain it yourself and join project sunrise, details here:

Thanks. 

WONTFIX meanwhile.
