Yesterday Alexs told me that the game Discworld (based on the well-known novels written by Terry Pratchett ) is freely avaible and can be played in dosbox and might be playable in one of the next releases of scummVM

I couldn't wait
...so I compiled my own scummVm version on Suse (11.1beta5) :

Warning: Compiling is sometimes really frustrating and bloody new daily builds are not tested and might not work as expected.

I've downloaded the source unpacked the tar-archive, then as root from shell :

./configure --enable-tinsel

hmm there was missing some sdl-stuff...

zypper install sdl-devel

make

if you don't have checkinstall you should now install it.

zypper install checkinstall

and now we have to make an rpm and install it

checkinstall --fstrans=no
rpm -i /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/scummvm-0.12.svn-1.x86_64.rpm

et voilà :



If you want to download my compiled (source from 20081118) for Suse 64-bit you can find it here

The GUI　looks very ugly compared to the rpm I've (via zypper) downloaded from Suse

WARNING: Could not parse custom theme 'scummmodern.zip'. Falling back to default theme!

Have to check that...
Edit :
There seems to be a bug in the svn-version I used.

[00:18] <Begasus> no autodetection for the modern theme it seems
[00:28] <wjp> it only seems to look in the current directory
[00:29] <Begasus> yeah
[00:29] <Begasus> when I copy it there it detects it

easy to work around...
ah yes you can find your theme here : /usr/local/share/scummvm/
