Bug 147139 – astromenace-bin-1.0_rc2.ebuild (New Package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hi, here is an ebuild for Astro Menace, a vertically-scrolling 3D space shooter with spaceship upgrades.

I suggest category "games-action".

The game works well enough on amd64, I recommend adding ~amd64 as a keyword for it, though it might need a couple additional dependencies, like some of the x86 emulation libs.  Also, a version bump to 0.32_beta worked flawlessly for me.

Added ~amd64.

[Comment 4 jovie1024 2006-10-23 18:31:47 UTC]

Version 0.37_beta changed some things.  This version is no longer using sdl-mixer; this has been replaced by openal and freealut.  Recommended versions per the changelog seem to be the following:
>=media-libs/openal-0.0.8
>=media=libs/freealut-1.0.1

Unfortunately, this looks like it breaks amd64.  A 32-bit version of libalut.so.0 is needed in order to run the game, this needs to be done through a chroot environment.  The rest of the necessary files can most likely be provided by emul-linux-x86-*.  I'll attach my modified ebuild.  It could use some testing on x86 to make sure the audio still works, and hopefully someone can figure out what to do about freealut.  A 32-bit copy should probably go into app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-sdl along with 32-bit openal.  Also... why is openal even in that package, anyway?  Wouldn't it fit better in emul-linux-x86-soundlibs?

Hooray!  The producer is now compiling an AMD64 version of the game and bundling it in the same archive.  This ebuild works fine for me on AMD64, without needing any 32-bit dependencies.  There is now no more need for a manually-compiled 32-bit version of freealut on this platform.  Could an x86 tester please confirm that it works there too?

Not sure why it came through as "application/octet-stream"...

[Comment 8 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2006-11-06 21:00:38 UTC]

let us know when it's out of beta.

Quoted the variables, for bash that doesn't fail on spaces ;)

No need for docinto.

No need to remove the "beta" substitution, which prevents this ebuild from being used on future beta versions without modification.

[Comment 11 Paul Bredbury 2007-01-28 06:01:26 UTC]

Reopened, because out of "beta".

[Comment 12 Denis Gubanov 2007-02-15 11:16:35 UTC]

1.0rc2 is out

[Comment 13 Denis Gubanov 2007-02-19 12:20:27 UTC]

Thanks for the ebuild! I never heard of his game before. I am going to check it out now :)
