http://www.fifengine.de/ , 2d isometric engine still has some problems, was my first python ebuild so im not sure about the python stuff, also the fife.so is probably wrong in /usr/lib64/python26/site-packages. upstream problems: i patched image.{h,cpp}, otherwise this problem appears: http://fife.trac.cvsdude.com/engine/ticket/385 also guichan doesnt have utf8 support, so they use a bundled version.

Created attachment 224205 [details] patch also, this ebuild is in gamerlay, the games overlay, if you want to get involed just join #gentoo-gamerlay on freenode
Thanks for the ebuild. For some strange reason the download of fife-0.3.1.tar.gz or fife-0.3.0.tar.gz from sourceforge doesn't work. I downloaded it manually and put it into disfiles, compiling now. pelican.gentoo.org alias git.overlays.gentoo.org is down, cannot add gamerlay :(
for fife svn and the old versions it needs libpng-1.2 it works, if you install it into a new slot: emerge libpng:1.2
Eeew. We're not really looking for additional users of libpng-1.2...
(In reply to comment #5) > Eeew. We're not really looking for additional users of libpng-1.2... > I asked the guys from unknown-horizons. Unfortunately they need the svn version of fife for the game and the fife version needs libpng-1.2 The game unknown-horizons uses it and works great, there will be a new release soon, at the moment the proper version is git only. If the game needs this engine as svn, does it make sense to open another bug report to request an ebuild in portage for the actual game? (they provide ebuilds on their homepage and I advised to put libpng:1.2 into their fife-svn ebuild as dependency)
There's an ebuild for it in gamerlay but it doesn't work with Linux3.

I'm working on live ebuild but I have luck still.
the sad part is that this uses SCons which isn't easy to get working properly I'm interested, but I probably won't do the ground-work.
Ok I manage to create live ebuild tested with USE="atlas fifechan tinyxml -debug -profile" emerge =fife-9999 https://github.com/emcek/gentoo.mipl/blob/master/games-engines/fifechan/fifechan-9999.ebuild https://github.com/emcek/gentoo.mipl/blob/master/games-engines/fife/fife-9999.ebuild

I suggest you do a pull request to my own overlay where I do development of WIP/live games ebuilds (and I can do line-by-line review then). From there we can work on getting this into the tree. https://github.com/hasufell/hasufell-overlay
