UFO-AI newere ebuilds / Portage refresh?

[NagaDrag]

UFO AI ( www.ufoai.net )

great game, nice and free remake of the original UFO game

Problem is, the UFO-AI linux version in portage is only available for version 0.10

I am currently running version 2.0 RC6 under Window$, and I did not have much luck figuring out how the linux version installs

I downloaded the DATA FILES and the SOURCE file from sourceforge.

What im also confused on is : Windows install is over 200 MB, Linux is just about ~100MB

Would someone who figured it out either post an ebuild, add it to portage, or help me figure out how to compile it, and what I need

It's currently distro-unfriendly because it's meant to be installed and run within ~, rather than /usr/whatever. It therefore requires some patches to the source code, to find & write files in the proper places. Here is my unfinished and broken ebuild, if it's of interest.

/usr/local/portage/games-strategy/ufo-ai/ufo-ai-2.0_rc6.ebuild

It's svn is updated daily so there's no point in doing ebuild for it. Get it from svn to some dir and compile it.

I'm probably missing something trivial, but when I try to run ufo-ai I get :

and the output of gl_debug.txt is as follows

.::EDIT::.
I placed snd_sdl.so in /usr/lib directory, changed permissions and the error that I get now is as follows

.::BUMP::.
Anyone ??
I've searched ufp-ai's forum, double-checked everything but the error persists ...
