every rougelike game reminds me of you !! good work !

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Ooh!

Will this also work with Maemo 4 or are you using Qemu like your other releases?

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

I haven't tested with Maemo 4/N8*0. It could work. This is not Qemu based, this is natively compiled from sources (none of my packaging is Qemu based)

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

I would love to give this a try. :)

Could you point to where I can get the download files?

I don't think I have access to the extras-devel repo on my Maemo 4 tablet.

Many cheers.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

I think it installed just fine after first grabbing liblua5.1-0_5.1.4-3_armel.

However, when running this, I think I'm getting the following error:

/bin/sh: reset: not found

There's another one before this but I'm not fast enough to read it.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Ouch. There are no direct call for 'reset' in the code. So there are some inner magic.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

There's a /usr/bin/reset in package ncurses-bin.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

This is how I used to install Angband but it's not working anymore.

root
cd /media/mmc2/N800/Angband
dpkg -i libc6_2.5.0-1osso10_armel.deb
dpkg -i libncurses5_5.7+20081213-1_armel.deb
dpkg -i ncurses-base_5.7+20081213-1_all.deb
dpkg -i angband_3.0.9-1_curses_armel.deb


What is the correct order and files needed?

The only thing different that I can think of is that I'm now booting from SD and auouymous had me installing ncurses-base, nano, and color-ls when he walked me through the process.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Hey lma, can you help me make sense of this?


apt-get install ncurses-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
ncurses-bin is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libncurses5: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) but 2.5.0-1osso10 is to be installed omweather-icons-beginning: Depends: omweather (>= 0.16) but it is not going to be installed
osso-software-version-rx34: Depends: libncurses5 (= 5.4-3.osso4) but 5.7+20081213-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


I think I need libc6, libncurses5, ncurses-base, and maybe your ncurses-bin suggestion.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Hm, try "apt-get install libncurses5=5.4-3.osso4", or, if you really need the 5.7 one, install osso-software-version-rx34-unlocked.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Hey lma.

I don't think that did anything.

Can you try getting DiabloRL to work on your end?

Also, I got this output.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Right, try "dpkg -P omweather-icons-beginning" (I assume you don't need it without omweather installed, right?) followed by "apt-get -f install" (but double check what that proposes to do just in case it wants to remove something vital) then.

Seems to work here (at least it starts using the instructions in the first post, didn't have time to play it right now).

AapoRantalainen: you may want to send the next version to the Diablo autobuilder as well :-)

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Thanks for testing!

Now I'm excited. :)

I can get it to run with no errors now, but it just clears the screen and gives me a command prompt.

Could you post all of your steps for me whenever you have the time?

No hurry on this. :)

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

I just used the chown & cd steps described in post #1. It seems to use an awful lot of CPU though...

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

I don't know why the icons are broken for OMWeather but they do work and I use them on my desktop.

"apt-get -f install" usually deletes Xterm so I now avoid doing this. It's probably because I use a hacked version of Libvte.

Do you IM chief?

Maybe I could find you online and we could bang out a solution together on this. :)

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

So you have omweather installed but the package manager doesn't know about it?

Right, get rid of osso-software-version-rx34 then, since its dependencies are knowingly missing. You won't be able to SSU, but you already can't anyway. Then try an "apt-get -f install", but if it proposes to remove anything else abort and post the output here.

These days that's a bit difficult, I'm in the middle of 20 annoying things including a large office move. Asynchronous communications are your friend ;-)

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

I really don't know....

The thing is, OMWeather has been a real, meaty turd for the past few months now. Sorry for that intense visual.

It forecasts temperatures that are constantly stupid.

100 degrees here in Michigan this Sunday? *lol*

So how can I get rid of osso-software-version-rx34?

I'd really like to get DiabloRL running, especially since you said that you were able to. :)

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Ah, I see, omweatheroldstyle. So it's bad packaging on the icon package, nothing you can do about that :-(

"dpkg -P osso-software-version-rx34", or "apt-get remove osso-software-version-rx34".

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

What's next chief?

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

So, remove it with dpkg :-p

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Okay.

I'll have to do this tomorrow when I can focus though. *lol*

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

And done. :)

dpkg -P osso-software-version-rx34
(Reading database ... 22830 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing osso-software-version-rx34 ...

What can I do next since I'm still just getting a cleared screen and then a command prompt when running Diablorl. :(

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Did you "chown -R user /opt/diablorl" as root, and cd into /opt/diablorl before starting it? That works for me...

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Yeah, of course. :)

I don't know what I'm missing on this.

Is there something that I can test to see if I have all of the correct dependencies?

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Try this:

though you should have all the dependencies if it starts. I don't know what else could be significant, your different ncurses version doesn't seem to be a factor as it's not used (apart from reset).

I'm not quite following you. Sorry.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Sorry it wasn't clear, you were only meant to enter the first line, the rest is the output from my tablet for comparison. The above looks fine to me so you're not missing any dependencies.

Can you try running it in an ssh session just in case it doesn't like something in your terminal?

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Same exact thing happens when I SSH into the tablet.

Next guess? :)

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

If you feel up to it, try running it with strace (see here) just in case it gives some hints. Otherwise I'm stumped :-(

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

There's a ton of output, but at the very end, the screen clears and all I'm left with is this.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Aha, so it does its own logging, hadn't noticed that! Check log.txt in the same directory for any warnings or errors.

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

I really hope this helps. :)

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

That's the only problem I can see, but it logs that on mine too and still works.

Between those two lines I get lots of stuff:

but I've no clue why it skips all that at your end, sorry :-(

Re: [Announce] DiabloRL (Roguelike game) on extras-devel
 

Should I be doing something like....

stty cols 80
stty rows 25

I really don't get why this isn't working on my end..... *weep* *sob*

*lol* :)
