There isn't a linux version available. But I tried the game in wine and it works great.
(You do need the two dlls mentioned on the page you linked to.)

Actually, the latest source (1.0.10-r1) contains an unofficial linux port. Which would behind those linux bins. So that's where any ebuild should start.

You need to grab the source from the Glest sf.net project page as it wasn't listed on the homepage last time I looked.

Anyone have a working ebuild? Here is a link to the bug. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84419

I got an ebuild of bugzilla and it worked like a charm. I was just playing glest and it is awesome. The graphics feel like Empire Earth or Warcraft 3. However, the expanse of the buildings etc. is less. In the time I played it I enjoyed it but didn't get deeply into the game.

I also got the ebuild installed correctly, unfortunately it doesn't run with the kernel radeon driver, I'll be trying ati's later.

I'm running it with ati's newest on an ati firegl t2.

I also nabbed the ebuild off bugs.gentoo.org and it looks great! I'm excited to try it out.

Well, I suffered some compilation errors... crap. I'm going to bed.

Darnit!

Mind posting your errors? I made the ebuild on the bugzilla page, and if it is something I can fix, I'll try to do so.

I have glest running fine here.

Now there is a 2.0 version in the cvs and I'm looking around to find an ebuild for the cvs installation.

Anyoine has one or has made?

I'm happy to test it.

Tried to emerge glest-2.0.0 (from the official ebuild in the portage) on amd64 but it failed to compile:

dirty workaround ..
unzip the source code (glest_source_2.0.0.zip) and then edit glest_source_2.0.0/mk/linux/jamfile to:

Code: Select all

SubDir TOP ;

UseAutoconf ;

Package license.txt readme.txt ;

#### Library ####
SubDir TOP shared_lib sources ;

LIB_DIRS = platform/sdl util graphics graphics/gl sound sound/openal xml glew ;
LIB_INCLUDE_DIRS = ../include/$(LIB_DIRS) ;

for i in $(LIB_DIRS) {
  LIB_SOURCES += [ Wildcard $(i) : *.c *.cpp *.h ] ;
}

Library glestlib : $(LIB_SOURCES) ;
ExternalLibs glestlib : SDL GL GLU XERCES VORBIS VORBISFILE OGG OPENAL ;
IncludeDir glestlib : $(LIB_INCLUDE_DIRS) ;

#### Game ####
SubDir TOP glest_game ;

GLEST_DIRS = . ai facilities game global graphics gui main menu sound
             type_instances types world ;
for i in $(GLEST_DIRS) {
  GLEST_SOURCES += [ Wildcard $(i) : *.cpp *.h ] ;
}

Application glest : $(GLEST_SOURCES) ;
LinkWith glest : glestlib ;
ExternalLibs glest : SDL GL GLU XERCES VORBIS VORBISFILE OGG OPENAL ;
IncludeDir glest : ../shared_lib/include/$(LIB_INCLUDE_DIRS) $(GLEST_DIRS) ;

#### Editor ####
#if $(WX_AVAILABLE) = "yes" {
#  SubDir TOP glest_map_editor ;

#  GLEST_MAP_DIRS = . ;
#  for i in $(GLEST_DIRS) {
#    GLEST_MAP_SOURCES += [ Wildcard $(i) : *.cpp *.h ] ;
#  }

#  Application glest_map_editor : $(GLEST_MAP_SOURCES) ;
#  LinkWith glest_map_editor : glestlib ;
#  ExternalLibs glest_map_editor : SDL GL GLU XERCES VORBIS VORBISFILE OGG OPENAL WX ;
#  IncludeDir glest_map_editor : ../shared_lib/include/$(LIB_INCLUDE_DIRS) $(GLEST_MAP_DIRS) ;
#}

The Editor part causes trouble so let's remove it ..

Then zip it, put it in your /usr/portage/distfiles

Code: Select all

# ebuild /usr/portage/games-strategy/glest/glest-2.0.0.ebuild digest && emerge =glest-2.0.0

Should compile then .. at least here .. it did, and works like a charm. :)

A more dirty approach

Code: Select all

emerge -av glest

then wait until

Code: Select all

>>> Unpacking glest_source_2.0.0.zip to /var/tmp/portage/glest-2.0.0/work

is finished, press CTRL+Z,

Code: Select all

gvim /var/tmp/portage/glest-2.0.0/work/glest_source_2.0.0/mk/linux/Jamfile

modify it as you suggested, save,

Code: Select all

fg

and you're ready

I used this trick many times to succesfully compile java packages on JDK1.5 - just edit build.xml in the portage tmp dir and add source="1.2" target="1.2" attributes to offending javac element
