http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

ive had a short attempt at getting this to work, but it uses a VERY non-standard build script.
Gentoo has an ebuild for it, but it uses alot of `sed' commands to replace things, and ebuilds look like ass! peh.. gentoo...

if someone could package this for me id be MOST appreciative.

thanks

Why is it hard to build? Nothing more than one additional file to provide.

You run the installer local, make a config (build.vars) which is working (i disabled debugging to get it working, as well as i changed the installation path).

Take care that you copy the files yourself, not using the install of the build.sh, since it seems as if the option provided in the installer modifys the sourcecode, so it won't be a good idea to use the $startdir/pkg directory as standard install dir.

Then, more than less, its nothing more than just copying / installing files to a specific directory.

I'm just at a 56k modem at the moment, and can't take a closer look right now. But i've compiled and installed it fine. You can get the package / directory list by just installing it once, so you know which files you need to copy.

Good luck

ahh.. its hard because it has a non-standard build script?

it has to be compiled.. its not pre-packaged binaries..
the build scripts are all over the place.. its insane..
i give up..

Father · 2005-04-05 13:34:17

anyone?

cactus · 2005-04-05 20:36:19

I will take a stab at it today..

cactus · 2005-04-05 23:22:30

Man..what a shitty build that game has..
That should be used as some kind of test for potential new arch devs to see if people have the skills required to be a dev..

I finally just took the easy route and used my friend diff, with an ounce of sed. The dang configure portion actually creates new files with dependency information. Then you run build depend, and it makes more..

Anyway..here is the PKGBUILD. I haven't tested the final result (ie tried to run the game), but I built it on my test box (no gui so I cannot run it) and it seemed to compile and package up just fine.

It should install to /opt/uqm. I could have put it anywhere, so if it should go in /usr/local or something, let me know..

here is the pkgbuild and diff file:
HERE

I would host the package itself, but I don't really have the Bandwidth for a 130+mb file.

Father · 2005-04-06 07:26:06

thanks!!!!

yeah.. the build system is just brain destroying..

re: hosting the pkg itself, dont bother.. i prefer pkgbuilds anyway.. i like to see what im installing if its not from `official' sources..

ill give it a shot now..

thanks again!!

Father · 2005-04-07 08:22:24

im not sure why, but im getting a 404 when it tries to dl the files
(ive already got uqm-source in my cache, so that may be 404'ed aswell)

it doesnt make any sense to me because the files in the PKGBUILD appear fine, and i can manually download the file?!

im assuming it means that that specific mirror (150.65.7.130) doesnt have that specific file? which shouldnt happen since the file is quite old and wouldve been synched along time ago..

strange

mctavish · 2005-04-07 08:41:18

I spotted this thread yesterday and gave it a burl. No problems here. A big download though.

I seem to remember it stalled on one of the files, so I hit control-c and tried again and it worked fine.

I been having a bit of a play. Heh heh, dated but fun.

cactus · 2005-04-07 09:10:24

I used the main dl site, so the links wouldn't move. Maybe there is a better mirror to use, but that is the one used by several pkgbuilds..
anyway, the dl sourceforge site can be a bit surly. Just download the correct versions using the faster links on the main sf project site. Put them in the same dir as the pkgbuild, and then run makepkg. It should pick them up locally just fine (as if they were downloaded already).

Father · 2005-04-07 14:40:25

yep.. thats what i did..

im trying to squeeze uqm into /usr/local/games/uqm atm.. but its not wanting to go.. grrrr..
ill just leave it in /opt

thanks again for the package

Father · 2005-05-31 18:28:17

uqm 0.4 has come out

anyone want to try and upgrade the pkgbuild??

id really appreciate it.. very addictive game

cactus · 2005-05-31 20:45:36

sure. I will give it a stab. Since I did the last one, might as well update my package.

cactus · 2005-05-31 21:25:06

hmm. looks like the person who has it in the aur updated his, but here is mine too...
pkgbuild

I changed the install url to /usr/local/games/uqm like you previously wanted.

Father · 2005-06-01 13:51:23

kick ass! thanks cactus.. dunno where we'd all be without you!!

i wouldve given it a shot but i was insanely tired and giving it a shot myself didnt even cross my mind *slaps head*

[edit] hmm.. youre pkgbuild depends on mesa? im not sure why youve put that in as a dependency since nvidia drivers, etc, have their own opengl implmentation [/edit]

cactus · 2005-06-01 18:02:40

I think the way I did the config for it (options chosen) depends on mesa. Not everyone has nvidia drivers.
I believe that is how I did it last time too.

maniel · 2006-02-17 09:22:40

i've tried this game yesterday, i got some errors/warnings when playing it writes on console about thread blocking(?) on semaphores, and then the game hangs, it's unable to play ;/
i use arch/testing and gcc 4.1.0 [was in testing some time ago:)]

dpc · 2006-02-18 12:35:13

Uqm 0.5 is out and those links here (two as I can see) are broken.
