Updated to -2 because the previous version couldn't compile correctly (a missing build subdirectory and wrong detection of the GLee library). This one should work fine.

Okay, I have updated the PKGBUILD with the most recent build/run-time dependencies and SVN revision. The package builds and runs on my machine but I may have missed a dependency so if anyone runs into trouble, shout out here and I'll look into it.

Package disowned as I stopped using electricsheep for now, so anyone who wants to take care of it, go ahead.

Hi guys, I'm happy to report that my patches have been accepted upstream, so the current SVN version #148 should at least compile and run correctly, including the setup tool.
There still are some more issues that I hope to be able to iron out soon (such as the ability to render to a window like in KDE 4's screen saver setup dialog and correct handling of multidisplay systems) but the core functionality should work.
Also, wxgtk2.9 is a requirement, the preferences tool won't compile with 2.8.

Also, I think ES no longer uses mplayer to render stuff, it's all done in OpenGL (on Linux anyway) so the mplayer dependency can go too.

Hi guys! Since the current SVN version of ElectricSheep is still pretty much broken, I have decided to take matters in my own hands and I have come up with a patch that at least gets electricsheep to run and display something.
Alas, the configuration utility is still broken and crashes after a few seconds because of an assertion failure somewhere in the pango library.
Today I have contacted the dev(s) of ES to get my patch(es) incorporated upstream. I'll see what their reaction will be and will sort things out if need be.

Has anyone tried to compile the latest SVN version of electicsheep lately? I have been getting a huge mixed load of warnings about deprecated calls and errors about missing symbols. I have managed to fix some configure issues but the code gives me a hard time when I try to fix the problems.

No problem, mate, anyway looks like the community's version is working now.

Thanks for taking over, hnrch. Unfortunately, I am no longer an Arch user so I can't maintain the package anymore.

There's no need for the libgnomeui or gconf dependencies any more, please remove them from the pkgbuild.
