UPDATE: xqf-1.0.5

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

Macports provides XQF 1.0.3, XQF compiles fine but doesn't run properly when called. I patched this by changing a dlsym() parameter that prevented in source xpms to be found.

I've also patched an internal function in order to launch executables with a space in their name, this allows to launch game such as "Wolfenstein ET" that has a space in the exec name. The workaround is done escaping white spaces with a backslash.

I've created a patch file with both fixes and I've tried it with xqf 1.0.5 . I tried from clear sources applying the patch and then using the same config line I found in macports 1.0.3 . I had to remove a few LDFLAGS and did it patching makefile.am and makefile.in as I didn't knew how to do it via configuration line .

Any comment about how to remove LDFLAGS via the config script ?

[markd@…]

Sorry no one responded earlier. You can remove CFLAGS by using configure.cflags-delete. So what needs to be done to complete the update?

Shouldn't this kind of patch rather be applied upstream as it fixes a general bug in the software?

[adamore@…]

What do you mean by "applying upstream" the patch?

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Your patch fixes bugs in xqf. Please also send this patch to the author of xqf.

[adamore@…]

I already did it, as far as I remember, but I never got any reply. XQF seems an "old" project with 1 or 2 minor update at year, one in 2006, none in 2007.
