[games] frozen-bubble

Question

Frozen bubble is a highly addictive game .... http://www.frozen-bubble.org/
One caveat : it is incompatible with SDL_perl 2.X which is in Arch right now (they say that several times on their home page, and I can confirm that :-( ).
Hence, I made sdl_perl119 which provides the version that frozen bubble was coded with. Luckily after some digging, I found that the old version is still availablt on CPAN - no idea for how much longer, though. I hope (expect ?) that frozen bubble will be updated eventually ...
I used quite a bit the "depends", "provides" and "conflicts" fields in the two packages. So beware ! I tested it, but that does not mean, the PKGBUILDS are perfect.
EDIT on Oct 4th : Just to make life easier, here are the two PKGBUILDS :
# Contributor: Andreas Schweitzer <[email protected]>
pkgname=frozen-bubble
pkgver=1.0.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Award winning, highly addictive game."
depends=('sdl_image' 'sdl_mixer' 'sdl_perl>=1.19<=1.20' 'sdl_gfx')
source=(http://guillaume.cottenceau.free.fr/fb/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)

build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver

Answer 1

And here they come :
First install sdl_perl119 with this PKGBUILD :
# Contributor: Andreas Schweitzer <[email protected]>
pkgname=sdl_perl119
pkgver=1.19.2
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="The OLD version of SDL_perl. SDL Perl is a Perl wrapper for SDL, sporting all the SDL bits you would expect, including fullscreen OpenGL."
depends=('sdl' 'sdl_gfx' 'sdl_ttf' 'sdl_image' 'libvorbis' 'sdl_mixer' 'sdl_net' 'alsa-lib')
source=(http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DG/DGOEHRIG/SDL_perl-$pkgver.tar.gz)
url="http://sdlperl.org/"
md5sums=('f4d532623cb3feddf7e54aece1de53e6')
provides=('sdl_perl')
conflicts=('sdl_perl')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/SDL_perl-$pkgver
./configure --without-alsa
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/*/i686-linux/perllocal.pod
rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/*/i686-linux/auto/SDL_perl/.packlist
And after perl_sdl119 is installed build frozen_bubble from here :
# Contributor: Andreas Schweitzer <[email protected]>
pkgname=frozen-bubble
pkgver=1.0.0
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Award winning, highly addictive game."
depends=('sdl_image' 'sdl_mixer' 'sdl_perl>=1.19<=1.20' 'sdl_gfx')
source=(http://guillaume.cottenceau.free.fr/fb/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
url="http://www.frozen-bubble.org/"
md5sums=('2be5ead2aee72adc3fb643630a774b59')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
make PREFIX=/usr || return 1
make PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/usr DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/*/i686-linux/perllocal.pod
rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/*/i686-linux/auto/fb_c_stuff/.packlist
In case it should not work, I'll put tar balls with everything on http://bootblock.de/arch/
Something else, I noticed : that
http://sdl.perl.org/ seems to be now maintaining SDL Perl - and they seem to be considering 1.20.4 to be the latest version ....
