Won't run on Gentoo 64bit (Linux)
None of the downloaded 1.2.0 pr23 packages for Linux will run on Gentoo 64bit due to the lack of a viable 64bit libvga.
I downloaded the game from <http://www.ancardia.com/download.html>, tried both:
- the Ubuntu build (wouldn't work because it was linked against pulseaudio)
- the Debian build (wouldn't work because it was linked against libvga)
Problem:
libvga is part of the package svgalib in Gentoo,
and that package has no viable build for amd64/x86_x64.
More specifically, there has been no activity on svgalib since 2003 as far as I can tell and
the source code contains 32bit assembly instructions that won't compile on a 64bit system.
Please make a version without pulseaudio,
and, if possible, without libvga.
Thank you.
PS: I tried downloading the binary packages from Ubuntu's automated build system, but alas they
are 32bit and ADOM still dosen't run. Gentoo's multilib system is different than Ubuntu's so I'm not surprised it didn't work,
was worth a shot however.
