[games] frozen-bubble

Frozen bubble is a highly addictive game .... http://www.frozen-bubble.org/

One caveat : it is incompatible with SDL_perl 2.X which is in Arch right now (they say that several times on their home page, and I can confirm that :-( ).

Hence, I made sdl_perl119 which provides the version that frozen bubble was coded with. Luckily after some digging, I found that the old version is still availablt on CPAN - no idea for how much longer, though. I hope (expect ?) that frozen bubble will be updated eventually ...

I used quite a bit the "depends", "provides" and "conflicts" fields in the two packages. So beware ! I tested it, but that does not mean, the PKGBUILDS are perfect.

EDIT on Oct 4th : Just to make life easier, here are the two PKGBUILDS :

you should also make sure that both sdl_perls can coexist together if they are not you could break other packages.

andy · 2003-10-03 21:14:16

That might get tricky. But yes, I realize, right now one has to sacrifice the current sdl_perl in order to play frozen-bubble. And I forgot to mention that.

I, for my part, could simply remove sdl_perl (version 2.X) before starting the whole thing and did not break anything - but that's just my system ;-) ...

I *hope* that eventually frozen-bubble gets updated to work with sdl_perl 2.X - that would be the best solution anyways. But in the meantime I will look into making the compatibility. I simply noticed some desire to play that game in another thread ;-) ... adding to that my own desire ... and we got a temporary solution for the diehard frozen-bubble fans :-)

zen_guerrilla · 2003-10-11 12:23:47

Great work, Andy ! (there goes productivity again ).

zen_guerrilla · 2003-10-11 12:43:04

Just a quick comment, replace the make install line with :

make PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/usr 
  DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
rm -f 
$startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/{5.8.1/i686-linux/perllocal.pod,site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux/auto/fb_c_stuff/.packlist}

since your PKGBUILD doesn't install the perl files in $startdir/pkg but in rootdir. Then to install it on the build box use 'pacman -A -f' & the perl files installed while building will be tracked by pacman (I can't find a cleaner approach ).

mb · 2003-10-12 00:29:51

I installed sdl_perl and all its dependencies, but when I installed the frozen-bubble package in incoming, I got this error when attempting to run frozen-bubble:

Segmentation fault

I then tried to compile the frozen-bubble package from source, but when I do, I get this error:

*** I need perl-SDL installed

...and then the build aborts.

I also rebuilt the sdl_perl package from source, but still got the error when attempting to build the frozen-bubble package. I never had any version of sdl_perl installed previously, so there would be no conflict there.

Any ideas?

mb · 2004-01-28 03:04:17

Well, tried to build frozen bubble again tonight with no sucess. The package build is failing on the following command

 perl -e 'use SDL'

after which a segmentation fault occurs.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I have the sdl_perl119 package installed plus all of frozen bubble's other dependencies. I don't have the current version of sdl_perl installed, so there would not a conflict.

Please help! Thanks!

andy · 2004-01-28 09:35:34

I guess I will have to look at it again :-) ...

mb · 2004-01-28 20:05:35

Thanks, andy! Much appreciated.

sarah31 · 2004-01-28 21:53:29

try upgrading your perlsdl to 1.20.0

mb · 2004-01-28 22:50:45

Where would I find that version of sdl_perl? The version in current is 2.0.2, which I believe is incompatible with frozen bubble.

andy · 2004-02-02 13:46:32

OK, I checked again : it works for me ;-) ... well I cleaned the PKGBUILDS a bit and will post them later (technical problems). In the meantime triple check that you don't have any sdl_perl installed - the segfault does sound like it !. Do

pacman -R frozen-bubble
pacman -R sdl_perl119
pacman -R sdl_perl
pacman -Q | egrep -i sdl | egrep -i perl

The last command should not return anything. Then do

find /usr/lib/perl5 -name "*SDL*"

That should not return anything either. If it does, do

pacman -Qo /a/file/you/found/with/the/previous/command

If it returns something, think about deinstalling that package. If it returns nothing, you have perl-SDL files on your drive that are not tracked by pacman - this is bad ! Remove them and pray that everything still works.

Also, upgrading to sdl_perl 1.20 will not make a difference. First, frozen-bubble was developed with 1.19, and second, it is a PITA to find anything but the offifical, current sdl_perl releases.

mb · 2004-02-02 18:45:53

Thanks again for checking that out, andy!

I actually do have sdl_perl119 installed, which I built using the PKGBUILD you had posted earlier. I don't, however, have the current arch package installed. Perhaps I should try removing the sdl_perl119 package and rebuilding once you post the updated PKGBUILDs. I'll follow the steps you posted and keep my fingers crossed!

andy · 2004-02-02 19:32:03

And here they come :
First install sdl_perl119 with this PKGBUILD :

# Contributor: Andreas Schweitzer <andy@bootblock.de>

pkgname=sdl_perl119
pkgver=1.19.2
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="The OLD version of SDL_perl. SDL Perl is a Perl wrapper for SDL, sporting all the SDL bits you would expect, including fullscreen OpenGL."
depends=('sdl' 'sdl_gfx' 'sdl_ttf' 'sdl_image' 'libvorbis' 'sdl_mixer' 'sdl_net' 'alsa-lib')
source=(http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DG/DGOEHRIG/SDL_perl-$pkgver.tar.gz)
url="http://sdlperl.org/"
md5sums=('f4d532623cb3feddf7e54aece1de53e6')
provides=('sdl_perl')
conflicts=('sdl_perl')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/SDL_perl-$pkgver
  ./configure --without-alsa
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/*/i686-linux/perllocal.pod
  rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/*/i686-linux/auto/SDL_perl/.packlist
}

And after perl_sdl119 is installed build frozen_bubble from here :

# Contributor: Andreas Schweitzer <andy@bootblock.de>

pkgname=frozen-bubble
pkgver=1.0.0
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Award winning, highly addictive game."
depends=('sdl_image' 'sdl_mixer' 'sdl_perl>=1.19<=1.20' 'sdl_gfx')
source=(http://guillaume.cottenceau.free.fr/fb/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
url="http://www.frozen-bubble.org/"
md5sums=('2be5ead2aee72adc3fb643630a774b59')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  make PREFIX=/usr || return 1
  make PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/usr DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg  install || return 1
  rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/*/i686-linux/perllocal.pod
  rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/*/i686-linux/auto/fb_c_stuff/.packlist
}

In case it should not work, I'll put tar balls with everything on http://bootblock.de/arch/

Something else, I noticed : that
http://sdl.perl.org/ seems to be now maintaining SDL Perl - and they seem to be considering 1.20.4 to be the latest version ....

zen_guerrilla · 2004-02-02 22:24:53

You're da man andy . I was too busy to fix it myself now I guess I'll be more busy playing FB .

hApy · 2004-02-09 07:42:14

damn I still get a segmentation fault...

perl -e 'use SDL' gives segmentation fault too...

mb · 2004-02-10 00:19:57

I'm still having the exact same problem too. I tried rebuilding the sdl_perl119 and perl packages, but no dice. :cry:

andy · 2004-02-10 10:14:03

I'm afraid I can't reproduce your problems. I grabbed a relativley new system wich did not have any game/SDL stuff installed. I downloaded my own tar ball, unpacked it, and tried to install the included package with "pacman -U". It was complaining about missing dependecies (no surprise), so I issued a few pacman -S and this is log of the recent installations :

[02/10/04 10:48] installed audiofile (0.2.5-1)
[02/10/04 10:48] installed esd (0.2.32-1)
[02/10/04 10:48] installed sdl (1.2.6-3)
[02/10/04 10:48] installed sdl_ttf (2.0.6-1)
[02/10/04 10:48] installed sdl_gfx (2.0.9-1)
[02/10/04 10:48] installed sdl_mixer (1.2.5-1)
[02/10/04 10:48] installed libogg (1.1-1)
[02/10/04 10:48] installed libvorbis (1.0.1-1)
[02/10/04 10:48] installed sdl_net (1.2.5-1)
[02/10/04 10:49] installed sdl_image (1.2.3-1)
[02/10/04 10:49] installed alsa-lib (1.0.2-1)

Then I could install sdl_perl119. and perl -e 'use SDL' gave no segfault.
Then I removed sdl_perl119 again and recompiled it with the provided PKGBUILD, installed the resulting package : same thing : no segfault.

Lastly I did the same with frozen-bubble itself. First installing the provided package, then rebuilding it. Both times it worked.

So : *did* *you* *really* *make* *sure* *that* *there* *is* *no* *conflicitng* *software* *on* *your* *system* ? (damn, this is hard to type ;-) ... )

Has either of you ever forced anything while upgrading/installing ? This may leave unmaintained files behind. Dig through /usr/lib/perl5/ and make sure everything in there is pacman controlled !

d3c3it · 2004-02-14 13:38:40

id like to report that ive also got the same faults, seg faults. this is a new build machine as well

EDIT fixed it by making the packages myself and it worked

mb · 2004-03-09 19:25:29

Well, I think I discovered why I was getting the segfaults when trying to install/build frozen bubble. I have an NVIDIA GeForce2 video card, and if I use the basic kernel module (nv in XF86Config file), frozen bubble will run just fine.

However, when I install the driver provided by nvidia, frozen bubble will no longer run and I get a segfault. The really interesting thing is that it doesn't matter whether I have the nvidia-provided module listed in my XF86Config file. I get the segfaults by simply having it installed. When I uninstall, everything is fine.

Does anyone know what could be causing this behavior? I remember having the nvidia module working with frozen bubble back when I used to run Mandrake. Maybe something is amiss in the XF86Config file? Thoughts anyone?

Thanks!

andy · 2004-03-10 11:15:38

This NVidia trouble probably comes form SDL or how perl interacts with SDL. Do other SDL programs run fine ? As I don't have an NVidia card I can only speculate :-) but playing with the PKGBUILD's and*maybe* using *slightly* newer versions of sdl_perl *may* help (as they *may* have bug fixes to this problem ...)

jlvsimoes · 2004-03-10 20:16:38

and tomorow i *may * be rich

maccorin · 2004-03-22 09:57:43

I realize this is an old thread.... but i made a sdl-perl-1.19.2 package that can co-exist w/ the normal sdl_perl package (it gets put in /opt) and a frozen bubble package that uses it. you can get the PKGBUILDS and patches at http://maccorin.homelinux.org/frozen

also the nvidia problem can be solved w 'export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1', of course the package checks if you have that file and does that for you

andy · 2004-03-22 10:12:20

Cool ! I never got the sdl_perl's to coexist. They were too deep inside perl for my knowledge of perl-installations. I'll have to try it tonight.

maccorin · 2004-03-22 10:13:26

make sure you let me know if it works for ya, glad someone else is as happy about having frozen bubble as me
