Kinda embarassing. I forgot about the multilib repo.
Thanks for the adjustments badcast. Those changes will be pushed shortly.

Edit: And decided for a small adjustment. i686 is still allowed due to architecture specific depends. Not that well displayed on the aurweb, but it works. Game actually ran

Please fix PKGBUILD for runs

Yes, maybe. I wish it would work though, since gate88 is pretty fun, and has a relaxing soundtrack. Even better would be if it was open source.

Just to reach the goal of being able to play the game on Arch, I uploaded gate88-win that uses Wine. It's not ideal, but it appears to work.

If you think this package might work again in the future, we can just leave it, but if you think it's doomed, removing it is one possibility.

Well, maybe it is time that this needs to go?
Precompiled stuff is really ugly... Will try to take a look at this, but there isn't much I can do.

After adding x86_64 to arch, building and installing the package and running "gate88", I get this:

/usr/bin/gate88: line 28: 57992 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./gate88 "$@"

Updated to follow PKGBuild guidelines. Interestingly it is still working (at least on i686. Dunno if the precompiled stuff will work with x86_64)

Any idea am I missing something: ./gate88: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Installed the dependencies on x86_64 and edited the PKGBUILD.

I am a robot. AUR guidelines suggest to not include binaries. Examples: gate88/gate88.png A survey of TUs suggests an icon or two is okay, but please ask upstream to officially include it. This robot will not bother you again.
