Download still links to v0.11.0

Post by id1402 »

Hello.
I tried to download "ScummVM - Source RPM" from http://scummvm.org/downloads.php#source but it is still linked to "scummvm-0.11.0-1.src.rpm" instead of "scummvm-0.11.1-1.src.rpm".

There are many users who prefer src.rpm instead of tar and zip, since it's much easier to install on systems like Suse.

Can anyone fix it?

sev, do you know, who is responsible for scummvm.src.rpm files?
The newest release scummvm-0.12.0-1.src.rpm on the download page ScummVM doesn't work. Download works, but it doesn't compile.

That would be me. On which platform does it fail to build? What's the error message you get?

Hello wjp. You do a great job. Everything is ok. My first download of scummvm-0.12.0-1.src.rpm resulted in a damaged scummvm-0.12.0-1.src.rpm on my harddisk. I searched hardly for MD5 checksum, but nothing found on http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php . Since I never had problems with a downloaded file before, I didn't try a new download of the file. I wrote a bug report, sev wrote the MD5 checksum and I compared with my MD5 checksum. Checksums were different, I did a new download of scummvm-0.12.0-1.src.rpm, checksum was correct, scummvm-0.12.0-1.src.rpm compiled and installed successfully. It would be necessary to write MD5 checksums of the packages on http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php to avoid such useless bug reports.

wjp, thank you for the great src.rpm packages. Very good work.

I have a last question. What is the function "--target=" for?
I did

Code: Select all

rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i586

Code: Select all

rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686

Code: Select all

rpmbuild --rebuild --target=athlon
Everything compile well and I have 3 different rpm files. The rpms can be installed and ScummVM runs well. I tested the 3 different versions with different games. So what's the difference? Should a version run faster on my system than the other 2? I think, they run equally good, it's my feeling.
My system:

Code: Select all

# uname -a
Linux axis 2.6.13-15.12-default #1 Thu Aug 24 11:23:58 UTC 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) OSS

Code: Select all

# cat /proc/cpuinfo

bogomips        : 4007.81
Should I compile for i586, i686 or athlon?

It shouldn't matter too much. It looks like 'athlon' will give the binary most optimized for your CPU, though.

Ok.

Will there ever be a source package of scummvm-tools-0.12.0? All source packages on the download page still link to v0.11.0.

Oops! Actually, there is a 0.12.0 source RPM, the links on our download page were just wrong. I just fixed it. Thanks for pointing this out.

scummvm-tools-0.12.0-1.src.rpm error

Post by id1402 »

I downloaded scummvm-tools-0.12.0-1.src.rpm, but it doesn't compile properly.
I wrote the problem in the Suse packages thread: http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?p=39635
