Packaging problem: missing ufo.cfg?

(1/2) > >>

DavidNielsen:
I'm currently building ufo:ai 2.0rc6 for Fedora but my test packages are experiening the following issue, they build fine but when I try to start he game it complains:

Adding game dir: ./base
using /home/david/.ufoai/base for writing

Consult gl_debug.txt for further information.

It appears to me that the /etc/ufo.cfg file is mising, I clearly need it to set default path somewhere so that on my setup e.g. it will look in /usr/lib64 instead of .

I'd love for Fedora users to just be able to yum install ufoai to get this game so I request a bit of help to ensure the user experience will be as optimal as possible.

Kind regards,
David Nielsen

Mattn:
you can also use the cvar s_libdir to set the lib path

DavidNielsen:
putting set s_libdir "/usr/lib64" does not appear to work. In addition for RPM packagers like myself that seems really suboptimal. Is there anyway to make this work without mocking with dynamic variables in runtime, like forcing the build system to obey the libdir variable.

Mattn:
s_libdir should work - i will test it again. thanks for report.

you (the packager) can add this cvar to the default.cfg in the base folder or add an autoexec.cfg to the base folder

please try to start the game with ./ufo +set s_libdir /usr/lib64

DavidNielsen:
Same result
