Re: Phun!

It doesn't look possible to build a package for Phun. It stores its configuration in the same directory as the executable, so it shouldn't really be installed system-wide. Once the source is released we can make whatever patches are necessary to make it behave like a proper Unix program.

Re: Phun!

They probably won't release source, I need to make GPL clone

Re: Phun!

The author mentioned in the FAQ that he's planning to release the source eventually, but hasn't decided on a license yet.

Re: Phun!

It's more like bridge builder (pontifex) or GPLed construo.

Re: Phun!

But there is a "phun" package in AUR, and even often updated.
Is it just a "wrapper" for the original archives?

I'm using it, with lots of fun and no problems!

Re: Phun!

I just read the PKGBUILD in the AUR. It works around the permissions problem by allowing any user to write to the global data directories. That's not the way I'd prefer to do it, but it should work well enough on a one-user system.

Re: Phun!

I 2nd.

Personally, if a small program required a win9x security model, I'd just write a script to copy a hidden home directory and export the path to that all on the first run per user.

Re: Phun!

Ah, crap, can't get it to run

workdir = /usr/share/phun/
Parsing /usr/share/phun/autoexec.cfg...
Creating window...
!! ERROR: Exception caught in main: Couldn't set video mode, SDL-error: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
Exception caught: Couldn't set video mode, SDL-error: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
!! ERROR: Exception caught: Couldn't set video mode, SDL-error: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

Is anyone else having any trouble getting to run? I am half suspecting it might be the ATI drivers, although I haven't been able to verify that.

Re: Phun!

I am using Radeon 9800 Pro with open source ATI drivers, so that's not the problem.

I have the same problem, I tried to create config.cfg with

System.depth = 16;
System.fullscreen = false;
System.resolution = [1024.768];
System.vSync = false;
Resources.shaders = false;

but the error is still the same

I use Matrox G550 video card, 3D works normally, DRI is on and there are no problems with any other game

Re: Phun!

When I try to run Phun 4 Beta, I get the following error:

[rasse@fruitiex-laptop ~]$ /home/rasse/Games/PhunBeta4/phun.bin
/home/rasse/Games/PhunBeta4/phun.bin: symbol lookup error: /home/rasse/Games/PhunBeta4/phun.bin: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost10filesystem6detail15not_found_errorE

What should I do? :[

Man, that must have been a bitch to develop!

You should be running the phun script instead of running the binary directly.
