<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I have just
checked in KGoldrunner 2.0 source code and updated games<BR>data, at
kdenonbeta/kgoldrunner. The updated documentation should be<BR>ready in
two more days and will complete the package.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The code has
</FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>been
modified to make it into a "standard" KDE application.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The game
</FONT></FONT>itself is the same as before, except that the Tutorial has
been</DIV>
<DIV>split into Tutorial (the easy levels as before, plus a few new levels)
and</DIV>
<DIV>Advanced Tutorial (the harder levels from the previous Tutorial).
Note</DIV>
<DIV>that I have split the code into more .h and .cpp files and have
"renamed"</DIV>
<DIV>four files (i.e cvs remove + cvs add): kgoldrunnerwidget.* becomes</DIV>
<DIV>kgrcanvas.* and kgrobj.* becomes kgrobject.*, so there are several
new</DIV>
<DIV>files and four files removed.<FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3><BR><BR>I hope KGoldrunner 2.0 will compile and
install OK from the</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>kdenonbeta
structure. There are three difficulties you may find:<BR><BR>
1. It links to $(LIB_KDEGAMES), which is unknown to Gideon
(see<BR> my bug report 62288). I do
not know if kdenonbeta recognises the<BR>
KDE Games library.<BR><BR> 2. An admin guy put a "chown root" in
kgoldrunner/system/Makefile.am.<BR> This
will cause about 200 error messages (one for every
KGoldrunner<BR> level) if you are installing
into your own area (i.e. not as "root").</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3> The messages can be
ignored. The files have already been installed</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3> by then. Or you can
insert ": " before "chown" to make it a Shell</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3> no-op command --- but please don't
commit that :) !<BR><BR> 3. When KGoldrunner is executing, the KDE
library intermittently</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3> issues "X error"
messages. I have written a note about this in</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3> KGoldrunner's BUGS file.
I think this is a KDE Library bug,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3> but am not sure yet. The
errors have no effect on the application.<BR><BR>I am hoping to
include KGoldrunner 2.0 in the KDE 3.2 release.<BR><BR>Cheers, Ian
Wadham</FONT></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
