Arch Linux

Works just fine on my arch64 x86_64 install.

That's with '/usr/share/rainslickep1/RainSlickEp1' in terminal.

I just got feedback from a mod at the Ubuntu forums that he has no problems running this game on a 64bit system?

So I have to ask the question, has anyone got this game to run on Arch 64bit?

I just installed the package with no problems.
I made the entire directory rwx for everyone.
I have tried to run it from the Terminal using the symlink in /usr/bin/
I have tried to run it from inside of /usr/share/rainslickep1/
I only get the "command not found" response from the Terminal.
When I tried to run the /usr/share/rainslickep1/RainSlickEp1 shell script via Worker (dirutil) I received the following error:

./RainSlickEp1_bin: error while loading shared libraries: libXrandr.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

To my ignorant mind that says that this game won't run on 64bit systems.

Am I right?

Updated revision.

Ok, I tried re-adding x86_64 to the package to recompile it, but no dice. It gives the same error.

Maybe it isn't 64-bit compatible after all. That sucks. I was planning to buy them both.

Perhaps, I'm still waiting on a response from the email I shot off.

I found a small error in my makepkg.conf, too, that was effecting everything I tried to make. I am surprised they compiled at all, let alone all of the other things that actually managed to compile.

I am trying once more now that I have that typo fixed. I am going through and recompiling everything that I made from the AUR.

Perhaps it's a problem with 64bit. I took it out of the PKGBUILD. let me know if this was done in error. Sorry.

Yep, recompiled them three times, and never once did they function right... I modified the executable script that runs the program, so it points at the proper place of the _bin file, but no luck.

I opted to write to them... are you sure they run on 64-bit?

I love these games! I tried out the first one's demo when I was still on Ubuntu. If I could get them to install properly I would probably buy them both.

I used yaourt to install on a 64-bit system. typed in the name, and got this error:


/usr/share/rainslickep1/RainSlickEp1
/usr/share/rainslickep1/RainSlickEp1: Line 20 ./RainSlickEp1_bin: No such file or directory

I am not sure where this is trying to point to even make a sym-link.

New revision.

Sorry that it took me so long to fix this package. With help from RazZziel, I managed to get something put together that seems to work A-OK (for me, anyway). If anything's wrong, comment.

Please, test your packages before uploading. The link is set to "/tmp/yaourt-tmp-raziel/aur-rainslickep1/rainslickep1/pkg/usr/share/rainslickep1/RainSlickEp1", which of course doesn't exist (it's a common error)

In other news, I don't know what the hell I was doing when I made it work with a symlink, as it looks like the provided script is not meant to work with them,you need to call the script itself to get the working directory right. So, the script solution was okay, my bad. I modified the PKGBUILD to make it work.

Also:
- Made the description shorter (most descriptions in AUR are less than one line, and this one was so long it was cropped)
- Removed rainslickep1.sh
- Changed "cp -r" into "cp -a" (preserves links, ownership, etc)
- Moved the icon from rainslick.png to $pkgname.png, as installing the 2nd episode would crash (icon name is the same)
- Fixed the license, as it's a comercial game, not GPL. Copied /usr/share/rainslickep1/eula.html to /usr/share/licenses/custom as stated in http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/PKGBUILD.5.html.

New PKGBUILD: http://raziel.nfshost.com/files/PKGBUILD.1
Diff from your last version: http://raziel.nfshost.com/files/PKGBUILD.diff

By the way, the second episode is already available from http://files.playgreenhouse.com/hotheadgames/rainslick/rainslickep2_linux_r3.tgz
Here's the PKBUILD if you want to upload it: http://raziel.nfshost.com/files/PKGBUILD.2

Changes suggested by RazZziel implemented.

Wouldn't it be easier just to "ln -s /usr/share/rainslickep1/RainSlickEp1 /usr/bin/rainslickep1" rather than copying a bash script?

Also, the .desktop file is pointing to "Exec=RainSlickEp1" which doesn't exist in out $PATH.

Revision 4. This is the demo. You need to purchase a cd key for the full game.
