oolite depends on espeak (obsolete) instead of espeak-ng...

Thanks Wolf, I revived the espeak package in the AUR for the time being.

found it, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/1a3c2e550a0776c75003351603d5ea00d50817b1/espeak/trunk/PKGBUILD

It does still build ok.

Adding both espeak-ng and espeak-ng-espeak is not enough, it does seem like espeak-ng is not compatible enough with espeak.

I looked at build options and atm it seems there are 2 possible solutions:

• revive espeak as an aur package

• use deps-release as build target so oolite will use the libraries they provide under src/deps/Linux-deps instead of systemwide installed libraries.

There doesn't appear to be a way to do this only for espeak, and I kinda doubt these older precompiled libraries will work well on archlinux.

(It failed miserably at runtime every time I tried it out of curiosity)

I'm currently trying to find the last PKGBUILD for espeak

but it doesn't provide espeak. So should I simply change the dependency?

Looks like espeak-ng-espeak from community takes care of that.

In this case shouldn't espeak-ng provide espeak?

'espeak' is no longer available in AUR. Oolite can be built and works with 'espeak-ng' from community repo, just create symlink libespeak.so pointing to libespeak-ng.so in /usr/lib/.

A truly excellent game. Highly recommend installing the 'Beginners' expansion pack !

Cheers to SanskritFritz for making it available.

Heya again fellas,

I played this game back in 1982 (on a commodore64) and loved it.

Heh, it took 30+ minutes to load off the tape but worth the wait.

Can anyone recommend an arch/linux joystick ? I am hopeless using the k/b arrow keys :P ... Cheers.

Thanks guys for all the help!

Thanks @Lone_Wolf ... works for me now also.

Found a workaround at http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20754 .

deleting the png header files in prepare() works, but there may be a cleaner solution.

prepare() {
    cd "oolite-source-$pkgver"
    rm deps/Linux-deps/include/png.h
    rm deps/Linux-deps/include/pngconf.h
}

snippet from $HOME/.Oolite/Logs/Latest.log

23:44:48.785 [texture.load.png.warning]: ----- A PNG loading warning occurred for (null): Application built with libpng-1.4.7 but running with 1.6.37.
23:44:48.785 [texture.load.png.setup.failed]: ***** Error preparing to read /usr/share/oolite/Resources/Textures/oolite-particle-blur.png.

It looks like oolite uses its own dependencies from oolite-source-1.90/deps/Linux-deps/README.TXT for building

Having libpng14 installed doesn't help.

Nope, still no fonts and textures

Hmm, could you try to install libpng12 and rebuild? If that solves the problem I'll include libpng12 into the dependencies array.

I've installed all font packages in the arch formal repos. Unfortunately the problem persists.

Hello, i have the same problem with the latest version of the Oolite in AUR. No textures and no font. Logs attached. https://pastebin.com/jQPU0t4G

Hmm, maybe a font is missing? Can you find out somehow?

Sorry for the delay.

I used pacaur to build from the latest PKGBUILD.

pkgver=1.90 pkgrel=2

depends=('espeak' 'gnustep-base' 'sdl_mixer' 'sdl_image' 'glu' 'nspr' 'openal')

makedepends=('gnustep-make' 'curl' 'zip' 'mesa' 'gcc-objc')

source=("oolite" "https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/releases/download/$pkgver/oolite-source-$pkgver.tar.bz2")

Did you build the 1.90-2 version with all the new dependencies?

After rebuild, same problem occurred.

There were some dependencies missing, try again please.

Hi. When I run oolite none of the buttons show any text.

Thanks! Help me to improve my packaging skills: how did you come upon that?

Package builds with the following packages added to makedepend: git, nspr, glu, openal, libpng.

After some years I've built oolite again and the build was successful for me. However I've discovered that it depends on espeak (unmaintained by original author) instead of espeak-ng (active fork).

Here is a simple patch that makes oolite build against espeak-ng:

https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/issues/338 This package does not build at the moment. You can however use the binary package from https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/releases

@evorster I am suffering with the exact same error. I know that I have installed on another machine and had no issues.

I get the following error when trying to build OOlite:

I don't know what could be the problem, oolite builds fine here. Sorry.

Unfortunately, I can not build the package on my system: Error message: "checking for Python version >= 2.5 but not 3.x... configure: error: Python 2.5 or higher (but not Python 3.x) is required." I have python2 (2.7.15) and python3 (3.7.1) installed, and python3 seems to be the default. Patching "#!/usr/bin/env python" (and similar) to "#!/usr/bin/env python2" in all python files did not help.
