 |
|
I ran: "emerge adonthell"
Now I'm not sure how to get it running.
I'm new to linux, and don't even know where the game can be found.
Please advise. |

You (Your user acct) needs to be in the 'games' group, and I'm sure the game's executable is simply adonthell.
To add yourself to the games group, as root, find a line similar to this one in your /etc/group file:
If there is no games:: line, simply add it. Make sure to substitute "user" with your usernames you want to allow to play games.

Or, more simply, use the 'usermod' command line app:

I used usermod by inputting 'usermod -G games -L user'
I checked the group file and games::35::user is there, but now I'm still not sure how to run the game.
I tried: 'adonthell' and 'exec /usr/games/bin/adonthell' |

Okay, so I think I got the commnad to run the game.
Thanks alot for letting me know how to get the group working. 
I get this:
Usage: ./adonthell [OPTIONS] GAME
Where [OPTIONS] can be:
-h print this help message
-d print the data directory and exit
-v print version and exit
-l list installed games and exit
-g dir play the game contained in dir (for development only)
-c byte-compile all Python scripts in this directory (for
development only)
How do I play it now? What is the command? |

I'm getting a seg fault too.
I've been googling around and came across this patch
| Code: |
Hello,
Finally I got it.
This is caused by #374062.
This patch is a workaround for that bug. I'm not sure that using bg as
last argument is the best choice, however it works.

shadow.draw (1, 1+height_-shadow.height(), 0, 0, shadow.length(), shadow.height(), NULL, glph);

Note, I am a noob, so this probably isn't the best way =P.
I copied the adonthell source from /usr/portage/distfiles/ to my desktop
extracted it and used nano to edit win_ttf.cc
changed the line
| Code: | | image shadow (TTF_RenderUNICODE_Solid (ttf, unichar, bg), white); |
to
| Code: | | image shadow (TTF_RenderUNICODE_Shaded (ttf, unichar, bg, bg), white); |
saved
retarred
format of command: tar -cvf mystuff.tar mystuff/
used gzip
format of command: gzip [filename]
deleted the original source of adonthell in /usr/portage/distfiles
copied the gunzipped file over (note must have the same file name as the original)
emerge --digest adonthell
then run adonthell wastesedge
the game will run now without a seg fault, however... the text now has black boxes behind each letter ;_; |
