I'm also running into a path problem with vegastrike at the moment so
I'd like (from all of you) your suggstions as well about that:
it seems the --datadir= flag is broken in the vegastrike configure so when
I install the vegastrike data in /usr/share/games/vegastrike as it is
required by sourcemage standarts, then the game is unable to find the
data when launched and therefore fails (note that it finds the data if
I put them in /usr/share/vegastrike).
Any clue on how to solve that?
Also I was wondering why we don't use the /usr/share path for the games
like for all the other programs instead of using /usr/share/games ?
Why do games need a special path, why do they have a special status?
Mathieu.
