Hi,
was anyone succesfull in installing FreeTennis or using the binaries?
I get an error that 'libpangocairo-1.0.so.0' is missing. Where do I find it? Pango 1.8.1 is installed.

is there a 'libpangocairo' or a 'libpango' in portage (sorry, I'm not in front of my computer right now to check)

no. Did a search for pango and cairo but didn't found anything (there is a x11-libs/cairo but it is installed too)

It's in x11-libs/pango-1.10.1, according to "equery belongs libpangocairo-1.0.so.0".

Here is a working ebuild for Free Tennis: /usr/local/portage/games-sports/freetennis/freetennis-0.4.8.ebuild
To play: freetennis -xres 1000 -yres 680 -newbie -surf grass

Edit: Moved ebuild to bugzilla.

Edit: Added support for cvs. Bumped to version 0.4.8. Added modular X dependencies. Mentioned on the front page - priceless

With x11-libs/pango-1.10.1 I can play the binary! Thanks.
I ran into the same problem with camlimages with your ebuild here.

i did a bit of research on the gentoo bugs site ....

to fix the ocamlimages you need to use a newer version
that's masked .. : | ( 2.20 )

i tried .. but the compile of freetennis still fails..
im still missing something

back to work.

Post the ebuild in Bugzilla, or else it will probably not get the noticed.

once i got the ebuild file in place i had left to do was :

ebuild `equery w freetennis` digest

launched the ebuild and it got all built cleanly.

Thanks

Bumped to version 0.4.6, and added cvs option via USE flag. I'll add the ebuild to bugzilla, once the game has a decent-sounding version number

I have successfully installed Free Tennis on my dualcore CPU with 64-bit gentoo, but when I start the game one of the cores is running on 100% and the game is unplayable since the graphics is very choppy and the reaction to mouse is horribly delayed. Is the graphics in the game so demanding that I cannot play it with only onboard graphic chip? Thanks.
