now that's working again.

Also, for the scores, i tried adding my user to the games group but scores are still not saved.

@maxlefou I installed a flatpak I found somewhere, and that worked, probaby indicating there is now a library compatibility problem, but I haven't had a chance to track it down.

Btw the game stopped working at all.

[1] 87477 segmentation fault (core dumped) Maelstrom

Reinstalling the game didn't helped...

@maxlefou: You need to be in the games group to get permissions. See the PKGBUILD for details.

The hi-scores can't be saved because of wrong permissions on /var/games/Maelstrom.scores. Setting it to chmod 777 fixes it.

Would be nice to correct the permissions on this file. (maybe there's a more secure way than 777 though?)

That seemed to do it! Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words but I think it’s chipschap who actually authored the fix.

As for a recent problem with the installation: make PREFIX=/usr install should become make prefix=/usr install (lowercase instead of uppercase), you can check the source’s Makefile.in for more details.

Building with makepkg fails in package(). Apparently it can't get root permissions to install system-wide:

  /usr/bin/install -c  Maelstrom /usr/bin/Maelstrom
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/usr/bin/Maelstrom': Permission denied
  /usr/bin/install -c  Maelstrom-netd /usr/bin/Maelstrom-netd
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/usr/bin/Maelstrom-netd': Permission denied
make[2]: *** [Makefile:164: install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
