glest, I have managed to finalize the packaging for Debian

[eddyp]

Hello,

There have been some posts about a glest package for Ubuntu from getdeb.net; this is based on an incomplete packaging I made for Debian.

Currently the package is finalized and is wating in the new queue.

If anyone wants to instal the package on a Debian Sid (aka unstable) system, they can grab the amd64 packages from:

http://http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/upload/glest_2.0.0-1/
http://http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/upload/glest-data_2.0.0-1/


If your arch is not amd64 or you're not running Sid, you can rebuild the package following these steps (the $/# indicates if the command must be ran as a regular user or as root, respectively):

$ cd /tmp && mkdir glest && cd glest
$ dget

http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-g ... .0.0-1.dsc
$ dpkg-source -x glest_2.0.0-1.dsc && cd glest-2.0.0
# apt-get install devscripts debhelper jam libsdl1.2-dev libxerces27-dev libvorbis-dev  libogg-dev libopenal-dev dpatch
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc && cd ..
$ wget http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-g ... -1_all.deb
# dpkg -i glest-data_2.0.0-1_all.deb
# dpkg --unpack glest_2.0.0-1_*.deb && aptitude -f install
[/list]

After going through these steps, you should be able to play glest. Enjoy.

thank you

Working great! As i can see its in the new queue, good work.

do you see a chance for the editor to enter debian soon as well 0:-) ?

Yes, as soon as I test that it actually works. There were some concerns that it would not work well on linux.

Great!

I'll request a sync on Ubuntu once it's online

I'll also look at packaging the indians and some other stuff...

since there is a guy out there who have this working i thought it my be near. He mailed my his patch, but i didn't tested it jet. It looks huge but mostly trival. I'll put it on a webserver later on.

I hope to get it build soon 0:-)

btw, in the svn some files seems to have dos EOL's at least for the mk/linux i think this should be fixed (even, I couldn't execute autogen.sh due to this "error")

Would that be Giuseppe Borzi (gborzi)? I have downloaded the patch already.

IIRC, some files need DOS EOLs; OTOH, the code in SVN is not the same as the one in the package, the svn code is newer.

maybe some needs dos EOLs - but not shell scripts

the patch, yes. He mailed it me and i will try to apply it tomorrow.
