lol 2.4
Simply renaming the ebuild seems to work for version 0.2.4
Version 0.2.5 is out, too. It builds on PPC, but crashes when ending the "create game list" action. Can anyone reproduce this on x86?
Tried 'create game list' in x86, with an old and a clean config, with the old ~/.gmameui It worked just fine although I've been experiencing some crashes, with a clean config I also get a segmentation fault
Hi, is it possible to get a gdb backtrace for this? I'm unable to reproduce the segfault when rebuilding the gamelist, and would prefer to fix this as a priority before a new release.
well did a backtrace had to learn how to do one as it was my first hope I got it right

Thanks for adding the stacktrace - it was perfect ;) OK, this looks like a fix I added to CVS did not make it into the release as intended. Can you download the latest version from CVS: In a new directory cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@gmameui.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gmameui login (hit enter) cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@gmameui.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gmameui co -P gmameui cd gmameui ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-debug && make && run Then rebuild the gamelist, and it should not encounter the error.
thank you for the quick response, problem solved, rebuild game list now works like a charm with a clean config, I've also tested with an old config and it remains working. Made a CVS ebuild and if you attach a patch to 0.2.5 I'll make a new ebuild applying the patch

Fails to build for me with USE=-nls
0.2.6 builds and here, with NLS flag on. But I still miss menu icons, this is what I get in command line output: (gmameui:24350): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.

I don't get those errors maybe it needs gnome, hicolor or tango icon themes which I have installed
If you disable NLS support gmameui fails to build if libgnome support is enabled, which is by default, I'm uploading a new ebuild that disables libgnome if nls is disabled

Hi, I'll be glad to try to help. I posted about the missing icons, I investigated a bit with strace and here's what I've found. I do not use Gnome as a DE, but I have some components installed, including a couple of icon themes. Gmameui looks for icons in the standard places (/home and /usr/share), and finds them, I guess that's why the more common icons do show up in the application (the new icon which starts a game, the Properties icon and the Refresh icon). Gmame ui then looks for a bunch of other PNG icons in the "/usr/share/games/gmameui/" directory, not finding them. It's not surprising that the application fails to find them, since they do not exist, not in the mentioned directory nor in the source tarball. Also, it seems pretty obvious that at least some of them are custom icons which couldn't be found in a standard theme, but should ship with the application. At this point, I would define this an upstream bug, although a weird one. I guess we could just try to match the referenced icons to some found in Gnome themes and copy or symlink them, as a workaround. Attached above is an extract of strace.

Created attachment 186922 [details] Version 0.2.7 ebuild This ebuilds is updated to version 0.2.7 and it also fixes a few problems of the last ebuild: * Added dependency for app-text/gnome-doc-utils * Fixed sysntax error in the RDEPEND line (missing whitespace). * Changed --with-sdlmame-dir to --with-xmame-dir as it's the correct name for this option. This version crashes for me, though.

does it really rdep on app-text/gnome-doc-utils? Seems odd.
