hope you get a fix soon mece. wesnorth wont load at all now. :-(

Oh man, I don't know what is up but autobuilder is doing something different than my sdk. Don't download 1.6.5-maemo7 from the repos because it will segfault. Here's a working version of the same thing built in my scratchbox:
http://www.hedwerks.net/stuff/wesnot...emo7_armel.deb

That one works fine for me. I will try to figure out what the problem is later.

Since I haven't fixed the data package yet, follow these instructions to link the data to the correct place:
assuming you have the currently available data package available.
from xterm:
--sorry about the mess.

Instead of the above, doing this should do it:
Things might load a lot slower with the data in MyDocs though.

I think the MyDocs and opt partitions are both from the 32 GB flash so it's speed should be equal.

True. But /home/ uses EXT3 as a filesystem, while MyDocs uses Fat32, which could prove troublesome. You can always increase the /home/ partition.

I haven't tried so I honestly don't know. I did it with fheroes2, and the difference was enormous. However the way data is used is accessed is vastly different in that game. Let us know how it works out.

PS Don't worry about the permission denied errors when moving stuff to MyDocs btw, the partition forces all file ownership to user, and the files are originally owned by root. shouldn't affect the game.

No joy for me mece. I will wait for it to usable in repo's mate as I'm proper crap with Linux.

I have uninstalled Wesnoth but cannot find the data files to delete after trying to link the data as suggested above. Any help in how to delete them from their new hiding place would be great :-)

The datafiles get removed too if you didn't install them separately.

Either way, in xterm do:
dpkg -l wesnoth-data

(that's the letter L)
if there's a version number shown, then you have the data files installed.
If not, install them from application manager.

After that, check if you have linked them.
in xterm do:
ls -l /opt/wesnoth/share
(that's the letter L again)

the output should be
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jun 14 00:35 wesnoth -> /opt/maemo/usr/share/wesnoth

it it's not, then it's not linked, and you need to follow the instructions in my post above.
If it is linked, then simply click the link in my post above (or this link), and choose "open in app manager".
Then app manager should launch and the installation dialogue should pop up after a while. (you need to wait a bit for it to appear)

And then wesnoth should be installed and working.

EDIT Did it work?

Sorry mece, been on a training course. I don't know, I have given up installing wesnoth for now until Its in repos as I am paranoid about ruining my n900 in x-term.

I believe the data files are on there somewhere as I used your command in x-term (dpkg -l wesnoth-data) and a lot of data came up, I seem to remember it saying somthing about the data files being half-inst and Err?= reinst - required. I know this is partial but I am tired and about to retire. I am in no way concerned as the n900 seems to operate as well as usual.

Once again thanks for your effort mate and I hope this superb game makes it back to repositories.

I'm working on getting Wesnoth on my n900. The version in the repos (wesnoth_1.6.5-maemo7_armel.deb) seg faults. I tried to used the one linked to in this thread:

http://www.hedwerks.net/stuff/wesnot...emo7_armel.deb

but when I try to 'dpkg -i' it there are a bunch of missing dependencies (maybe you have those in your scratchbox environment?). The dependencies are libboost and libvorbis related. Any advice? Thanks.

as root do
apt-get -f install

Or, install the segfaulting version, and then do dpkg -i with the working one. The first installation would then have installed all dependencies.
