alien arena 2009

[slax]

Hi,
i'm having problems with alienarena.

I packaged the game, i also recompiled it for glibc2.6, and when i want to install it from local repo i get:

alienarena-data:
 Depends: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.7)  but it is not installable

I havent set that dependency requirement?

The game works without glibc 2.7

You may have to look for that requirement in the source, or patches if there are any, and either edit it out of the patch or make a new patch for that requirement in the source.

[slax]

I'll try to find it in the source, but if know of any usual locations where that may be, please tell me

[Joble]

Unpack the source, open the unpacked directory in Konq and CTL-F go to the second tab, it should be search in file contents, type in libc.so.6 and search subdirectories.  If any file in the source specifically requires that file it should find it.  If you do find it then you'll need to make a patch, if you get that far and can't figure out how to patch I'll help.  (patching the source is in the tutorial, somewhere)

[slax]

I don't think i can finish this...

If someone wants to take a look at the package, i'll upload it somewhere.

It would be a shame if we don't update this awesome game

I tried it through DJL, but it wont work, same reason GLIBC.

I have this error with sound now. Btw, it installs ok with new gcc...

i can post my openal package if anyone wants to fix it. Its version 1,8

[muungwana]

openarenal downloaded from their website works fine here with my local version of libopenal library .. do you want to try your build with it?

the game also comes with the source code, i compiled it and it worked ok .. your sound issue could come from your system

[slax]

I think i didnt used openal from their website, i used a Fedora RPM....

that could be the problem. ill check it now

[slax]

I cant get it to compile :|

i downloaded the latest openal-soft 1.9.563 and 1.8.466 and both wont compile

http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html

please let me know what you did.

[muungwana]

openal-soft-1.9.563 compiled on my system and openarea successfully load it up ..this is the audio output part when starting open area binary downlaoded from their website

what error r u getting when you compile it?

[muungwana]

those errors are coming from you not installing kernel header files as instructed from this post: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=62982.0

[slax]

You were right friend! 

I totally missed that...

I'll add packages now.

Cheers!

Any word on whether or not this will be added, I would love to have it.  Maybe send me a dropbox link for it if its not getting added.

Have you tried to play it now from djl on an updated system?
