Re: Trigger Rally updated in Debian?

yes, this solved the issue, unfortunately while I could play locally at the game, I wasn't
able to make it suitable for Debian.
let me explain,
there is a trigger-rally package
and a trigger-rally-data that has just the data files (huge package).
Now, I can see the trigger-rally package trying to load the images/sounds and other stuff locally
cd bin
./trigger-rally
fine
./bin/trigger-rally
Application base directory "trigger-rally-0.6.4/bin/"
Loading game configuration
Failed to add PhysFS search directory "../data"
because this package isn't looking for the correct directory
before we were doing
./debian/rules:DATADIR=/usr/share/games/trigger-rally
./debian/rules: dh_auto_configure -- --datadir=$(DATADIR)
and the game with autoconf was able to force the directory in the code
(something like
#ifndef DATADIR
#define DATADIR "../data"
#endif
)
now, with the missing variable, I don't know how to solve the path issue,
and moreover, upstream seems to be messy with the data package, I tried to extract
the data directory from the same tarball, but it seems to be like this:
ls data/
data.md5 data.zip defplayers icon plugins
how is one supposed to unzip the zip file? do we need it?
sorry, but without further upstream help or a readme I can't really understand
what/where/why everything changed in the packaging.
Hope you will be able to ask upstream to clarify the packaging issues!
cheers,
G.
