Another low-hanging fruit: aisleriot

Another low-hanging fruit: aisleriot

Hi,
our gnome-games recipe disables aisleriot because of some problems
described here:

http://bugs.openembedded.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4585

Like with the mysql recipe I consider this issue beginner-friendly and
as such a good way to get into OE development.

Happy hacking!
Robert

I couldn't reproduce the problems anymore, so .dev now has 2.24 with 
aisleriot enabled :)

It somehow got disabled again, but since there was no bug activity: it's 
enabled again.

I actually cooked up a recipe that builds the entire gnome-games suite,
along with ggz, successfully. I got it running on my iPaq H1940 recently.
A couple of them don't work well on the qvga (Aisleriot in particular looks
really scrunched), but chess and sudoku are pretty nice. BTW, the full
install plus rdepends, on ARM is about 40MB. :-(

I broke out the individual games as packages, and (I think) have most of
the rdepends down too. How would I send my recipe for comments, just
post it on this list?

Tom.

Please add the recipe to bugs.openembedded.org (typed from memory) and I 
will try and commit it, provided it worlks for me :)

Ok, will do, soon. You probably want to check my work. :-)

I did have to patch the m4's in both gnome-games and ggz, because they
insisted on adding "/usr" and "/usr/local" (no $prefix/$eprefix) to various
include and library paths. These in turn silently broke the builds, as they
cause cross-compile warnings from gcc. There didn't appear to be a way
to override them, so I added a patch.

Also, the apps create multiple desktop icon families, and install them in
various places that matchbox doesn't look. I arbitrarily chose the 48x48
one to install for matchbox. If there are other ways to do this, I'm all
ears.

There are still a couple of icons missing, the "scores" menu item gets a
red X for instance. I haven't found where those might be installed from.
They appear to be harmless.

I'll put some text in the submit comments.

Tom.

Any further interest in this? I've done the above and tested, a month ago
now and wondering if more is needed.
