[needs-packaging] Smokin' Guns for 10.10 Maverick

Would like to see it packaged for Maverick.

It was not published yet because there is an error when running it on 64 bits.

It fails with this error message:
file ui/menddef.h not found

Recompiling on maverick did not help.
Game is still in an early development stage as it seems.

Waiting for a final release then.

Did that error prevent compiling from finishing, or was it just a warning? SG has been on version 1.0 for a while, and the binary version runs stably. Try asking on http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewforum.php?f=30 since search didn't find anyone with this error. I'll try compiling it too and see what problems occur, did you try 32bit or 64bit?

I tested on amd64.
The compilation succeeded. But this error made the game quit immediately.

A similar issue was noted for Urban Terror, which uses the same engine: http://forums.urbanterror.info/topic/20357-bug-x86-64-wont-start/
An ioquake bug for 64bit Intel is mentioned: http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4331
Sounds like a significant problem, though only for certain systems.

Oh, thanks for the information.

This looks like the solution.

I will try it immediately.

Taking smokinguns 1.0-1~getdeb1 as starting point.

Package has been built for lucid.

Published.

Thanks.

Thanks Chris. You're a hero now.

Is it something that should be accounted for in the SG code? Started a topic on their forum in case others search for the same error: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?p=19422
Glad to hear there was a fix available for the bug, thanks so much for packaging this great game!
