Notes on the SlackBuild. Probably only of interest to SBo packagers.
|
||
|
|
This stuff was comments in the script, until it got too long.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's no audio in this game. That's not a bug or anything, it's designed
|
||
|
|
that way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The source is included in the package (src.zip), but nothing like a
|
||
|
|
Makefile or build.xml. I have no idea how to build it. If I knew how, or
|
||
|
|
wanted to spend the time/effort (and grit my teeth & ignore my distaste
|
||
|
|
for all things Java), I'd try to build it with gcc-java... any takers?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Slackware 14.2 ships with gij, gcc-java's bytecode interpreter. I tried
|
||
|
|
running 'gij -jar Domination.jar' and was able to start a single-player
|
||
|
|
(vs. AI) game, but 'play online' threw a crypto exception:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm [RSA] of type [Cipher] from provider [gnu.javax.security.auth.callback.GnuCallbacks: name=GNU-CALLBACKS version=2.1] is not found
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not sure if this is something that can be worked around or not. A bit
|
||
|
|
of googling led me to something called the Bouncy Castle JCE, which
|
||
|
|
adds crypto support and might work with gcc-java... but, that's more
|
||
|
|
involved with Java than I want to get. If you want to check it out and
|
||
|
|
maybe submit a build for it, see: http://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a binary package, everything in one dir. move around to make
|
||
|
|
sense. Have to have a wrapper script and symlink forest in user's
|
||
|
|
homedir, since it expects to write to the dir it runs from. Looks
|
||
|
|
like help/ lib/ maps/ resources/ can be symlinked. game.ini and saves/
|
||
|
|
need to be user-writable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The various *.sh scripts run with different frontends. Unless someone
|
||
|
|
requests any of the others, I'm only going to care about the main
|
||
|
|
one (run.sh) and the swing one (which has the map editor). There's a
|
||
|
|
command-line frontend, but it looks like it wouldn't be much fun to play:
|
||
|
|
doesn't even draw ASCII art maps, not menu driven, uses long command
|
||
|
|
names and no readline/etc. I assume the Domination maintainers use it
|
||
|
|
for testing purposes.
