done, I did not tested it... let me know whether it works ;-)

Thank you for it.

Hi,

I've created a patch that associates .pgn files with Scid:

Feel free to apply it.

namcap claims Tk is not needed. Tcl is definitively needed. I updated the dependencies list to include Tk which in turn brings Tcl as a dependency.

Right, now I've got it running it's obviously a tcl/tk app so I'm guessing the implicit dependency on those packages has always been assumed. However, as someone who knew nothing about scid prior to trying it for the first time today, both 'tcl' and 'tk' need to be added to the PKGBUILD depends:

$ scid
can't find package Tk 8.5
while executing
"package require Tk 8.5"
(file "/usr/bin/scid" line 41)

I believe there's a missing dependency on tcl in this package. I get the following error when running `makepkg -s`:

==> Starting build()...
./configure: line 12: exec: tclsh: not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

Adding 'tcl' to the depends line in PKGBUILD fixes it.

Note that 4.4 is the current stable version.

If people want/care I can create a separate package for the development version which currently is 4.5.2 but this package is for the stable one.

Hello,

I'm facing a problem launching Scid. I think it's because the Phalanx engine terminates with a Segmentation fault. When I replaced the binary with a working version Scid launched without a problem.

Does anyone else face the same problem?

Hej,
sure thing. I just did it but it did not bump the version as I do not think is needed.

Thanks for the suggestion.

You may wish to consider adding tkimg (in the AUR) as an optional dependency. It is required for using some alternate sets of pieces.

thanks,
sorry for not checking the source code. I usually check just the compilation and I never notice the lack of eye-candy because I run awesomeWM.

My bad, sorry. I will fix it and have it ready for some tl updated and then I will rel-bump it.
