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.

SanskritFritz commented on 2021-12-05 08:50 (UTC)

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.
