Arch Linux User Repository

The package mostly works out of the box now; I had to manually rename /opt/gridmonger/Themes/images to /opt/gridmonger/Themes/Images for some of the built-in themes to correctly load their image files.

Sorry to bother you again, but now it crashes when trying to save or load a file. (and that's after clean reinstall)

Now it has permissions issue trying to open /opt/gridmonger/Config/gridmonger.cfg. Deleting /opt/gridmonger/Config directory fixes this, so you probably should remove the making of it from pkgbuild, since it's empty at start anyway.

Just adding my user to the group "games" wasn't enough, I had to uninstall and reinstall the package. But now it finally seems to work.

@jagh122 did you add your user to the "games" group (you may have to create the group)?

It also wants to open Autosaves, User Themes, User Themes/Images ... all of them don't exist and cause an immediate crash. I don't know if there is more, I kinda got bored.

The terminal output is nothing interesting. It just crashes immediately without much fanfare: https://i.imgur.com/bo8cybj.png

Now, the output of strace gridmonger is much more interesting. Here is a chunk of it right before the crash:

As you can see, just before the crash, it tries to open "/opt/gridmonger/Logs" and gets EACCES (Permission denied). And indeed, there is no "Logs" directory in there:

@Jagh122 i thought that would be the issue because it list a higher version in the readme (found out it gets around this via building the entire nim compiler).

after building it and running it i get no issues on start, can you try launching it in a terminal and comment what it outputs?

@silverhikari the problem with compiling master branch was because the code in the branch itself was broken when I have written the previous comment, gridmonger's author has since fixed it and it compiles

The problem now is that if I just clone the repo manually and run "nim release -d:osdialogZenity -t:-std=gnu18" it compiles and I get a program that works

Meanwhile this package compiles(and then installs), but gridmonger then just crashes immediately when I try to run it.

There is definitely something wrong with this package.

@jagh122 seems the issue with the current commit is that it requires a newer nim version then what is being packaged in arch.

Doesn't seem to work as of now, master branch doesn't compile

If I point it to some other commit that compiles, it then crashes immediately when opened after install.
