Blackscreen on Gentoo linux x64

[skoffer]

Hello everyone!
Last week I was trying to run ToME 4 [b42] with no success. First of all, I've tried to do everything as it was written in wiki and I got error identical to the one in http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=34853. In the same manner game hung after error "Lua Error: /engine/Module.lua:391: attempt to index local 'bkgs' (a nil value)"

Then I've tried to install game from the source. In this case everything was even worser.

Code: Select all

^CThanks for having fun!

After some investigation I was able to determine, that this sort of error somehow connected with PhysFS library. At least, when in main.c I change
-846: if (!luaL_loadfile(L, "/bootstrap/boot.lua"))
+846 if (!luaL_loadfile(L, "bootstrap/boot.lua"))

i can get rid of "WARNING: No bootstrap code found, defaulting to working directory for engine code!" (but game stops a little bit later). It looks like physfs is able to add search path in command "PHYSFS_mount("bootstrap", "/bootstrap", 1);", but for some reason can't mount it (or whatever it should do with it).

Well, can anyone help me? I think it should be something very simple, like wrong option in premake or may be one of the make files or even may be in linux kernel (wild guess ).

Hi, skoffer. Thanks for cheerfully uncovering the issue in the other thread. I... I'm sorry. It's all my guilt-ridden fault! I've patched the b41 Gentoo ebuild on raiagent with the updated libpng dependency.

Incidentally, did you say you tried the b42 Gentoo ebuild? I should probably just brutally remove that ebuild. It's been hard-masked and really shouldn't be unmasked. If you wouldn't mind giving b41 a try next time you get around to an "emerge world," I'd be appreciative.

Glad to see growing interest from the Gentoo gaming community, in any case.
