[testing] armagetronad slackbuild

ponce · 12-20-2010, 06:00 AM

with all the fuss going on with Tron Legacy, I felt the need of doing an old-school light cycle run, and gotta say it's da best! Tron Evolution, eat your earth out!

so I have updated the armagetronad slackbuild script for 12.2 written by hollywoodb (that I was not able to contact to ask for permission for taking over maintainership, as the email is no longer valid

) and submitted it to slackbuilds.org.

if anyone is interested in trying/testing it while the hype is high

, you can find it here

in pure slack spirit, here are the keys

Well, I gave it a whirl this morning. The build went off without a hitch on my -current box. That's a bit addictive and a lot of fun!

Tried the game on 13.1_x64, it works w/o any issues.
The game looks cool in neon theme.It's old school yet fun to play..cheers u up IMO

I've been playing arma for quite a while and have been too lazy to submit a SlackBuild (mostly because it involved a former maintainer), but I will say that there is a *significant* difference between the stable version (that you are building) and the latest development version. There hasn't been a full version upgrade for *years* yet the development version (at least the client, anyway) has grown very stable and much more full-featured than the stable (0.2.8) version. The dev version requires ftgl and protobuf (both available from slackbuilds.org) and requires bzr (bazaar) to grab the latest sources. Just for completeness' sake, here's the SlackBuild for the 0.3.x branch.

Code:

### we don't really want to build the uninstaller, but `make install` fails

### Also using --disable-games since it peppers installation
### paths with 'games' subdirectories and we're handling that manually.
### --enable-useradd is used, but no user is created (see README)

The glancing behaviour for the smartcam is quite different between the stable and development versions, so those who want the old behaviour are forced to use the ~armagetronad-dev/armagetronad/armagetronad-old-glancing branch (and thus would have to comment the first bzr line and uncomment the second). I haven't compiled the old glance branch for quite a while, so I can't remember...but I think you may have to change the `cd $NAME` line since the directory will be named something else (armagetronad-old-glancing I would assume).

just adapted a little the slackbuild to build with a snapshot and tried the bazaar r999 (nice revision number, btw) and it seems to work fine

http://ponce.cc/slackware/testing/armagetronad-bzr/

I think I'll soon resubmit the new one

P.S. thank for the infos t3slider
