Vultures Eye (isometric interface for nethack)

Lone_Wolf · 2006-03-21 22:37:38

A few years ago i found nethack, liked the idea, but NOT the available interfaces. Suse 8 had falcon's eye , an isomentric interface.
Recently i started looking for falcon's eye again to see if i could get it working on archlinux.
Falcon's eye is now dead, but there's a fork called Vultures that looks a lot better.
The AUR has an old orphaned package, and i am now trying to adapt it to the latest version.
(and if i succeed, i'll adopt the package)

This is the adapted pkgbuild sofar :

pkgname=vultures
pkgver=1.11.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An isometric graphics interface to NetHack."
url="http://www.darkarts.co.za/projects/vultures/"
license="free"
depends=('qt' 'sdl' 'x-server')
source=(http://www.darkarts.co.za/projects/vultures/downloads/$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver-eye.tar.gz)
md5sums=('6bfc8d81468a992e45b72bc15b922dae')

build() {
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/nethack/sys/unix
  sh setup.sh
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/nethack
  sed "47s:^/* ::" -i ./include/config.h
  sed "47s:*/::" -i ./include/config.h
  sed '/^WINSRC/s/$/ $(WINQTSRC)/' -i ./src/Makefile
  sed '/^WINOBJ/s/$/ $(WINQTOBJ)/' -i ./src/Makefile
  sed '/^WINLIB/s/$/ $(WINQTLIB)/' -i ./src/Makefile
  sed 's/-lqt/-lqt-mt/' -i ./src/Makefile
  sed '/^VARDATND =/s/$/x11tiles rip.xpm nhsplash.xpm/' -i ./Makefile
  sed "s:$(shell pwd)/compiled:$startdir/pkg/usr:" -i ./Makefile
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install

  cd $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
  ln -s ../games/nethack nethack
}

when i run makepkg, i get these compile errors :

../util/makedefs -v
make[2]: Entering directory `/var/abs/local/vultures/src/vultures-1.11.2/nethack/win/vultures'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../nethack/src/monst.o', needed by `build_n/tiletrans'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/abs/local/vultures/src/vultures-1.11.2/nethack/win/vultures'
make[1]: *** [../win/vultures/build_n/vultures.o] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/abs/local/vultures/src/vultures-1.11.2/nethack/src'
make: *** [vultureseye] Error 2
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

I would like some tips what causes this, or where i should look for the cause.

Ok, after searching for the above error it became clear that one of the makefiles didn't point to the right directory for the source. I checked the makefile and found the error and corrected it.
I also looked at the PKGBUILD for nethack, and copied the relevant parts.

Although there are some compile errors, compiliation is now succesfull.
There is however, one BIG problem :
the top level makefile uses a fixed prefix /usr where all the compiled stuff goes and ignores the DESTDIR setting.
Can someone give me a hint how to correct this ?

If it is prefix=/usr then replace DESTDIR to prefix

Thanks very much, WilliSilly.
the pkgbuild is now final, and i'll adopt the package and upload it to aur.
