I just want to share a amazing discovery, Frets On Fire:

It's very addictive and original!

I have this working in amd64 with some problems but may be

works out of the box.

Yeah, just saw that recently, looks awesome. Now, just need to get an ebuild for it!

How did you get it working on amd64? It runs after install emul-linux-x86-sdl, but just comes up with a blank screen and complains that libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0 (which is in /usr/lib) is missing.

It looks like they released the source to this game today.

Here is an incomplete ebuild, if anyone wants to finish it.

An ebuild for pyamanith is required.

/usr/local/portage/games-simulation/fretsonfire/fretsonfire-1.0.187.ebuild

Just posted feature request bugs in bugzilla for working ebuilds for PyAmanith and Frets on Fire. I'm working on one for PyAmanith, but no luck so far. Will work on it when I get home tonight and if I can get something working, post on bugzilla.

I'd like to play this, but of course it doesn't work.

It starts ok, but when I try to select "Play game" or "Tutorial" it just says "Name or service not known" and there's "ok" button which returns me to the main menu. Anyone have ideas how to fix that?

New version released, but I still get the same problem.

It outputs this to terminal (same with earlier version):

Hey cylgalad, teidon: do you guys have amanith and pyamanith installed? I got the amanith ebuild to work, but how did you guys get pyamanith installed? I was looking at the package and ran the setup.py but it fails building some part (build_ext specifically). Just like to know, cause should really have an ebuild for pyamanith first.

You can download the binary package, it should contain all the dependencies. Though I'm not so sure about that as it doesn't work on my (and others) system... Maybe it just doesn't like my system.

Being an electric guitarist, it looks amazing :twisted:

I'll test it as soon as the ebuild are ready ...

Seems like there is a pyamanith ebuild in progress. The ebuild code is complete, but it doesn't work right now. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143387

The amanith ebuild, which is required, can be found on the sunrise overlay: http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/media-libs/amanith/

@teidon: my brother had the same problem with the "Name or service not known" error and the culprit turned out to be that he didn't have the hostname "localhost" resolving to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts.

For those of you that have got this working you can try out a song I did notes for:

Such a fun game, I'll probably end up getting Guitar Hero because of it!

For everyone with amd64 here you have libSDL_ttf from debian

http://webs.ono.com/uucp/libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0.6.0

place it in /usr/local/lib32 and:

# cd /usr/local/lib32
# ln -s libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0.6.0 libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0
# ldconfig

Have fun!

For those so interested, good community site here: http://frets.freenerd.org/

Have you created the ebuild yet? this is the coolest game ever.... if there isn't an ebuild, can someone who has it working create a HOWto?

teidon · Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2006 8:08 am Post subject:

Just download the binary version from the hompage of FoF and extract it to where ever you want to. Then just run the FretsOnFire script found from the directory.

That seems to deploy a Parachute for many people (including me).
