hedgewars-0.9.12 is broken for some (all?) gentoo nvidia users. A line in uStore.pas needs to be commented out, and for it to compile succesfully, dev-lang/fpc needs to be updated to 2.2.4-r2 This ebuild does that.
Created attachment 207763 [details, diff] hedgewars-0.9.12 patched ebuild Check /etc/make.conf for PORTDIR_OVERLAY and copy this ebuild to the appropriate place, e.g. if PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" then: mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/games-strategy/hedgewars/files cd /usr/local/portage/games-strategy/hedgewars/ Download this ebuild to /usr/local/portage/games-strategy/hedgewars/hedgewars-0.9.12.ebuild Download the attached hedgewars-0.9.12.patch to /usr/local/portage/games-strategy/hedgewars/files/hedgewars-0.9.12.patch Now run: ebuild hedgewars-0.9.12.ebuild digest and then emerge hedgewars as you normally would.
Created attachment 207765 [details, diff] patch for ebuild, you need this too Read comments for attached hedgewars-0.9.12.ebuild.
Describe how it fails a bit more. hedgewars seems to work fine for me with dev-lang/fpc-2.2.0 and x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.31
hwengine closes the moment it starts. I'm not the only one who had to comment out that line, but strangely enough another guy I know of has an ATI card. Needs more user input. "hedgewars seems to work fine for me with dev-lang/fpc-2.2.0" Yes, hedgewars-0.9.12 will compile fine with fpc-2.2.0, but it will fail if you use my patch and fpc-2.2.0. See http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=11469
I hit this issue too on amd64 with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.43-r3 and dev-lang/fpc-2.2.0. Trying to start a "simple" game for example would bring up the game window for a moment, but then immediately close it again, at which point the game is hung and simply says "In game...". I updated fpc to 2.2.4 (from 2.2.0) and used the attached ebuild/patch, and Hedgewars is working properly for me now.
Same here, hedgewars crashed on this following machine upon starting a game until i followed the directions here. emerge --info --- Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_E8200_@_2.66GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 19 Dec 2009 01:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.9-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -pipe -msse4.1" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -pipe -msse4.1" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="candy distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acpi aiglx aim alsa amd64 berkdb branding bzip2 cairo cdr cdrw cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo ffmpeg firefox flac font-server fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv java joystick jpeg kde ldap libnotify lm_sensors mad mikmod mjpeg mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg msn mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png pnp ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session spell spl sse sse2 sse3 sse4 ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg symlink sysfs tcpd theora thunar tiff truetype unicode usb vcd vorbis win32codec x264 xine xml xorg xpm xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_US" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa nv nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I have the same problem on an amd64 system with nvidia-drivers-190.53-r1, fpc-2.20, and hedgewars-0.9.12 (and I think .11). The game window opens and closes immediately, leaving the original menu window open with the message "In game..". The updated ebuild and patch described in this post worked for me. Hedgewars runs great now.
Created attachment 247722 [details] Fixed hedgewars-0.9.13 ebuild The patch hedgewars-0.9.12.patch appears to be applied upstream for hedgewars-0.9.13, but still needs >=dev-lang/fpc-2.2.4-r2 to run without crashing. The ebuild needs to be updated to reflect this.
reopen if there's a problem with 0.9.14
