Somehow Dwarf Fortress suddenly started failing to use our libpng (or
zlib). I tried all possible combinations (supplying them via
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the script) but it just won't work.
This solution was found in the Archlinux bug tracker: It just symlinks
all problematic .png files to their .bmp counterparts. It's ugly and
*sadly* breaks tileset support (unless you convert them to bmp) but I
think it's acceptable, as the whole expression is pretty problematic
in terms of purity.
Let's hope the next release of Dwarf Fortress will be easier to
support.
(fixes #710)
The current FlightGear expression doesn't work:
bash$ nix-build -A flightgear
/nix/store/3c47sibzb9h1vhnn0gnh692hkpjc5p5v-flightgear-2.10.0
bash$ ./result/bin/fgfs
ERROR: The path '/nix/store/3c47sibzb9h1vhnn0gnh692hkpjc5p5v-flightgear-2.10.0/lib/FlightGear' does not exist in the file system.
Base package check failed:
Version [none] found at: /nix/store/3c47sibzb9h1vhnn0gnh692hkpjc5p5v-flightgear-2.10.0/lib/FlightGear
Version 2.10.0 is required.
Please upgrade/downgrade base package and set the path to your fgdata
with --fg-root=path_to_your_fgdata
We could probably make the 2.10.0 version run, but I had already
upgraded it to 2.12.0 before I made it work. It seems only the data dir
configuration was wrong/missing: FG_DATA_DIR="$out/share/FlightGear/".
Simgear must be in version sync with flightgear, hence the upgrade.
Most of the diff is because I rewrote the flightgear expression to what
I think is the "new style". I wanted to add a preConfigure phase but
didn't understand why this expression had custom phases. So I just
rewrote the whole thing to something I consider more readable.
* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
