The ebuild

need http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57087 or
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33296 (I used the last one)

Forgot to mention: It crashed immediately for me, but every SDL based application does that currently on my PC, so I can't tell if something is wrong with the game or with SGE.

[Comment 3 Alexandru Toma 2005-02-19 07:01:51 UTC]

From the ebuild:
DEPEND="media-libs/libsdl
		media-libs/sdl-mixer
		media-libs/sdl-sound
		media-libs/sdl-ttf
		media-libs/sdl-image
		media-libs/sge"
RDEPEND=""

Remove RDEPEND="" and also:
src_unpack() {
	mkdir ${S}
	cd ${S}
	unpack ${A}
}

Isn't that unneeded? You can just set S="${WORKDIR}" and be done with it.

src_compile() {
	make || die "make failed"
}
Doesn't the ebuild work if you omit src_compile?

And finally, and this is the most important... have you actually tested your ebuild? It will not work because it just installs the binary, not the game data as well, which is available here (in the win32 pack): http://www.braingames.getput.com/roadf/download/RoadFighter.zip

Changes:

1.) fixed RDEPEND
2.) changes to S=${WORKDIR}
3.) removed src_compile
4.) using data from windows binary

Outstanding issues: For some reason roadfighter can only be played as root. I
think it's because roadfighter stores a config file in it's basedir, but I
cannot verify it.

[Comment 5 Alexandru Toma 2005-02-19 08:34:31 UTC]

RDEPEND="${DEPEND}" -> just remove that

cp -r rf RoadFighter/fonts RoadFighter/graphics RoadFighter/maps RoadFighter/sound "${D}${GAMES_DATADIR}/${PN}"
You're copying the data, but does the game know where to find it... I think you have to sed or patch the source files.

echo "#!/bin/sh
cd ${GAMES_DATADIR}/${PN}
./rf" > ${PN}
Just use games_make_wrapper from the games eclass

Added changes requested (except games_make_wrapper, which I'm to stupid to use)
and made it possible to play the game without being root

Website is down, seems no longer available so it is:
unsupported and unmaintained
