Bug 134266 – games-fps/nprquake-sdl-1-r1 - "Error: memory overwrite in Sys_Printf"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Denilson Sá Maia 2006-05-24 15:17:55 UTC]

I get the following error when trying to start nprquake.sdl:
Error: memory overwrite in Sys_Printf

Based on Linux Quake HowTo:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Quake-HOWTO-6.html

I got the idea to compile to change the source and compile it myself. It worked. So, I ask to add this to the current 1-gentoo.patch:
(file NPRQuakeSrc/sys_linux.c)
-	char		text[2048];
+	char		text[4096];

use the fix-sys_printf.patch from the quake1 ebuild

http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/games-fps/nprquake-sdl/nprquake-sdl-1-r1.ebuild
Looking at CVS, the message prints "QuakeForge". The message should be changed to "nprquake".

In addition, it does not mention you can simply run the game from within quake1 directory (the directory that contains id1 subdir). This sometimes is much more simple than symlinking things, and I think it worthes mentioning.

Oh, thanks for fixing it.

changed all three packages to use $PN in the message
