[Artificial Intelligence]

I'm atm. writting a howto install it.

[Fass]

Does anyone know if you can play the game with your mouse this time around, or are you still tied to the keyboard? That's the only thing I didn't like with this game.

[towsonu2003]

I'm atm. writting a howto install it.

could you please let us know when it's ready? I tried checkinstall, but it can't install it (bug?)

thanks:)

[Artificial Intelligence]

Use
sudo make install then sudo checkinstall

checkinstall is far from perfect when it comes to installation.


I ran into perl problem, which require some editing in the frozen bubble starter script and I'm no perl guy.

Do we have a perl guy in da house?

[loko]

i tried it but it fails t compile.

it needs sdl_pango, but i cannot see it in the repos...


any solution for this?



EDIT: i compiled sdl_pango from source and installed it.

now if i try to compile frozenbubble i get this error:

user@laptop:~/frozen-bubble-2.0.0$ make
perl -ne "print \$1 if m|\\\$version = '(.*)';|" c_stuff/lib/fb_stuff.pm > VERSION
make[1]: Betrete Verzeichnis '/home/user/frozen-bubble-2.0.0/c_stuff'
test -e Makefile_c || perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=

**ERROR**: Frozen-Bubble patches are needed in SDL_Pango (impossible to create an executable calling the function SDLPango_CreateContext_GivenFontDesc)

but i cannot find any patches related to sdl_pango

[Artificial Intelligence]

Aye, same error. It need some hacking in the >Frozen bubble script

[ruimoura]

The game has been written in Perl/SDL and developed on a Mandriva Cooker Gnu/Linux distribution. You will need:

* Perl: the most popular scripting language out there
* SDL: the "standard" cross-platform multimedia C library
* SDL_image: an image file loading library for SDL
* SDL_mixer: a multi-channel audio mixer library for SDL
* sdlperl: glue between perl and SDL; FB2 has been validated with versions 1.20.0, 1.20.3 and 2.1.2 (since old versions are quite hard to find, you may want to get yours from http://zarb.org/~gc/t/SDL_perl-1.20.0.tar.gz)
* SDL_Pango: glue between Pango and SDL; at the time of FB2 release, latest stable was 0.1.2 and it needed an API patch (http://zarb.org/~gc/t/SDL_Pango-0.1.2-API-adds.patch)


In the end talks about that patch ...

thanks ruimoura,

i patched sdl-pango with the patch you pointed out, and now frozenbubble compiles

[loko]

mh, it compiles without a problem but i get this error when i want to start it:

user@laptop:~$ frozen-bubble
Can't locate fb_stuff.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/bin/frozen-bubble line 61.

user@laptop:~$

[ruimoura]

Well, i'm waiting for someone to say that it works, so that i can try it :).

Ps: why the hell don they just make a damn installer for all distros??? That really sucks ... Don they just learn?

[thekidder]

Worked fine for me (edgy). Just remember to have libsdl1.2-dev and libsdl-mixer1.2-dev installed. You also need to compile SDL_Pango from source - don't forget to patch it with the patch on the frozen-bubble site. After that, it should compile and run fine.

[ruimoura]

:-k

Roger that.

[loko]

i have installed all the related stuff, and i patched it correct, it also compiles without error, but it wont run (see error message above)

I've gone ahead and filed a bug in launchpad for a feature request. If you have any comments to add to it, feel free. Also, if you want to know when Ubuntu gets the job done, subscribe to the bug.

Will these packages work in Dapper or just Edgy?

[juraj]

I actually managed to install this game on dapper after a whole lot of tries and failures! Damn, it was worth it ;)

Anyway, if I, relatively new with linux, could do it, you can do it too. Be sure to uninstall previous frozen-bubble, just get all dev libs that are required (they're all mentioned on the download page, get libsdl-net1.2-dev too), get the sdl pango library and patch it, and install it (here's mine checkinstall .deb... I hope it will work for you, although it probably will not: http://rapidshare.com/files/1070815/sdl-pango_0.1.2-1_i386-fbpatch.deb.html).

The thing is, you'll not be warned about those missing dev libs, it just won't work :P

Then just make and sudo make install, or do a sudo checkinstall (without sudo, checkinstall didn't work for me...)

Anyway the game owns. And it has multiplayer!! ;)

Note, when compiling sometimes you won't see why exactly it failed - make will just bitch about a missing file. This was a nightmare for me. To find out more, go in the each directory - server, c_stuff and po - and do a make in each one. Fix what's wrong, and at least you'll find out what's wrong... although at that point I recommend you to delete that mess altogether and untar the tarball again.

The repository enteries mention dapper. Do they work for edgy also?

[Artificial Intelligence]

There's an edgy repo as well.

[AlphaMack]

Sweet. :D

[sharperguy]

Amaranth made me some debs to install it, which worked great

Hope they get put into an official backport,although u cant backport something unless its in ubuntu+1 from where you are, ie edgy+1.

[tribaal]

Hehehe such a cool game!

Thanks a lot guys!

[smeager]

Here is a the repo for Frozen Bubble 2 on edgy (stright from the Frozen Bubble site)

##### Frozen Bubble 2.0 #####
deb http://thomas.enix.org/pub/debian/packages edgy main

installed without any problems and runs great.

(it's just what I need, something else to waste more of my time instead of working;) )

[ruimoura]

I'm allready kicking some *** on the multiplayer online mode :)

[Swab]

The soundtrack is even more sublime than before! Seriously great game, can't wait to install this at work for some LAN play!

[juraj]

Is there a fb-music-high package?

[Shay Stephens]

Sweet, I love that game. Can't wait to play it.

[bruce89]

Is there a fb-music-high package?

No, it's all Vorbis audio now anyway.

I notice there are no AMD64 packages, so I compiled it myself.
