How did you solve the libhildon and libttf problem?

oh you should probably install libncurses5 and ncurses-base. All 'curses' programs require the 'curses' library.

Likewise, other programs require other libraries. Instead of getting angry, learn how to install libraries.
You'll feel better about yourself and waste less time typing in these forums.

Hmm, I've also installed libncurses5 and ncurses-base but am having the program crash on me. Did you mention that you can set the font with gconf? Is that featured in the latest release? Would love to see this working, one of my favorite games of all time =)

I'll try to recreate the errors here. Does it work for you if run from the command line?

It doesn't crash xterm like launching from icon does but it returns the error message that the main window is too small.

Okay, thanks to my boy Qwerty (I swear that kid knows way too much for his age), I got this going quite nicely.





So here's the thing to get it running, thanks again to Qwerty with helping me on this.

I'm using the Angband sdl deb by Dawnmist on ArnimS's site along with his Xkbd keyboard package.

I'm not sure but I think you also need this deb installed as well.
libsdl-ttf2.0-0_2.0.9-1_armel.deb

I have it attached at the end of this post.

So here it goes.

I've created a Notes document that has this written on it.

root
chown user:users -R /usr/share/angband/
chmod 666 -R /usr/share/angband/
angband & xkbd -geometry +695+65536 -k /media/mmc2/angband.xkbd

I'm using Easyroot.

To start Angband, I open up the Notes file, go to Select All, then copy.

Then close out Notes.

In Xterminal, from the menu, just click on Edit, then Paste.

There you go.

In Angband, go to Options on the top screen and select Fullscreen is: On

Also, on the top left of the screen, it will say Angband v3.0.9.
Just below that it will say Angband again. Tap on that small, little part of the screen with your stylus to remove that one line of text so that the entire screen fits all snugly.

Finally, you'll need to choose the 7x13b font in the top menu as well.

So far, it runs great, perfect speed, and saves just fine.

Now I finally have something to play with in bed besides, ehhhhh, I better not go there.

Below is the keyboard that is optomized for this game.

I just saved it right onto my internal memory card.

If I missed anything please post your anger and frustration.

Cheers.

Edit: Forgot to mention that if your keyboard acts funny the first time, press the Caps Lock button, close out the keyboard, and then fire it up again. It should work from then on.
