Arch Linux User Repository

So, I know this won't be much help in maintaining an AUR package, but I found a way to make the game work. You use the 32-bit version, but you need to put libsteam_api.so in the install directory, the same dir as Jamestown-x86. Then, it will find it on startup and launch without complaint. (I grabbed it from Portal, but I think all steam games have it including demos. Maybe you could get permission from valve to distribute it, or get them to provide a URL to download from.) I mostly put this here so people who are trying to install the game can do so.

As a status update regarding the newly uploaded version of the game to the Humble Store, I have decided to include the email, which I sent to Support: Hello, downloading GNU/Linux version of Jamestown 1.0.2 uploaded to the Humble Store on 2013-09-20 (md5sum: dcfb4348aba89f0f26bf5b4c7e05d936) fails, the following text is returned: File access is not authorized. Today I noticed that an additional version was uploaded which has an identical md5sum as the already present one. Attempting to run the x86_64 version of the game from the download results in a segmentation fault. Displaying information about the binary file with readelf suggests that there is something wrong with it, also the following errors are printed: readelf: Error: Out of memory allocating 0x1800000000 bytes for string table readelf: Error: no .dynamic section in the dynamic segment Trying to run the i386/32bit version fails because the game looks for the libsteam_api.so library, which obviously isn't included, as the version of Jamestown on the Humble Store shouldn't be the Steam one. readelf displays that the library rpath of the binary is set to: $ORIGIN:/home/quinn32/FinalFormGames/Jamestown/Steamworks/sdk/redistributable_bin/linux32 That seems like a mistake to me. Thank you for looking into the issue. ------------ If someone wants the build files for the current, broken version, here they are: https://github.com/C5OK5Y/PKGBUILDs/blob/a9ffe975fdd00f727b65de40dfcc5e27e40ca18d/jamestown/PKGBUILD https://github.com/C5OK5Y/PKGBUILDs/blob/a9ffe975fdd00f727b65de40dfcc5e27e40ca18d/jamestown/jamestown.desktop

@ejona86: I have adopted the package and will update it, thanks for notifying.

@C50K5Y. It seems the package has now been abandoned. I was going to jump on being a maintainer, but it seems you already have a stake in it.

This is up to the maintainer (but he seems to be inactive). I will try to contact him via e-mail and if I get no response I'll request orphaning of this package due to inactivity on the mailing list.

Thanks for the great patch. Is there any way to submit it as the 'real' package? it hasn't been updated in 1.5 years...

Here[1] is a patch which fixes the dependencies while actually using the system provided libraries (removal of the bundled ones). Also not having a package() is now deprecated, that is also addressed in the patch. The patch also greatly simplifies the PKGBUILD by using the hib:// DLAGENT.

Has anyone managed to get multiple mice working with this? It sees all of mine as one.... An X problem? Do I need to hack my conf files?

@Jookia: I know that's too hard to check it in PKGBUILD.

Does this need lib32 stuff seeing as it provides a pure 64bit version?
