The "warsow" package contains all the binaries and libs, +but to be able to run the game, the binary expects to find the data files +on the same directory where the libs are, if not then the angelscript +module will fail loading. So, what I'm trying to accomplish is that when +warsow-data is installed, symlinks of the files in the data directory +(/usr/share/warsow/basewsw/*) are created on +/usr/lib{64}/games/warsow/basewsw/. It works on x86_64 but on i586 is +creating the links on lib64 instead of lib and I don't get why, you saw the +code in the spec, I'm not hardcoding any path on it: + + +%define gamelibdir %{_libdir}/games/warsow + +%post +#Add symbolic links of the contents of basewsw to the directory were the +#package warsow install the libs, if not then angelscript fails to load. +for i in %{_datadir}/warsow/basewsw/*; +do + file=`basename $i` + ln -sf $i %{gamelibdir}/basewsw/$file +done + +%postun +rm -rf %{gamelibdir}/basewsw + + +><i> +</I>><i> If you want to use /usr/lib all the time then do so (if that's what the +</I>><i> game binary expects) via %{_prefix}/lib not via %_libdir. +</I>><i> +</I> + +That's not the case, as explained before, the symlinks have to be created +at /usr/lib for i586 and at /usr/lib64 for x86_64, but on i586 for some +reason isn't doing it. + + + +><i> +</I>><i> Also your fdupes command seems to do nothing other than display +</I>><i> duplicate information, not actually resolve anything.
