This is a long query; I apologize for the verbosity. I've tried to do
the relevant research.
My first attempt to install results in this error:
+++++ERROR+++++
sh ut-install-436-GOTY.run
Verifying archive integrity...OK
Uncompressing Unreal Tournament version 436-GOTY Linux

The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1
Please contact Loki Technical Support at support at lokigames.com
The program returned an error code (1)
++++++END RROR+++++
Assume with me that the relevant clue is this line:
The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1
I've looked around and believe that glibc is a Gnu C Library...as
distinct from the BSD C Library. Further, it seems obvious that I will
need to install something Linux-related to get this game running.
I've looked around through the ports tree, and have found the
following:
make search name=glib turns up a bunch of stuff....the most
interesting thing, it seems, is this....
Port: linux-glib2-2.2.1
Path: /usr/ports/devel/linux-glib2
Info: Version 2.X Linux/i386 binary port of GLib
<snip>
R-deps: linux_base-7.1_5
The Makefile doesn't seem to pull in the R-deps: linux_base-7.1_5, but
I could be misreading the Makefile.
Looking at it a different way, I see that there is an option to
install one of these:
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base*
6 is marked forbidden, so that is right out...leaving either 8 or
7.1_5. However, neither has a mention of glibc-2.1.x, only 2.2.x
I guess my question is: do I need to do linux_base-7.1_5, and
linux-glib2-2.2.1, or can I get by with only one or the other?
That, or am I asking the wrong question?
That said, I'd like to try to get Unreal Tournament running on
Anna. Anna does have a custom kernel without Linux bits in it, so I
assume that this module will load as needed:
linux.ko
Or should I use this:
linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf
I see in the archives from November that Karel J. Bosschaart used:
linux-flashplugin-5.0r51 The official Macromedia Flash Player for Linux
linux-gtk-1.2_2 RPM of the Gtk lib
linux-png-1.0.14_2 RPM of the PNG lib
linux-realplayer-8.cs2_2 Linux RealPlayer 8.0 from RealNetworks
linux_base-7.1_2 The base set of packages needed in Linux mode
All of these seem a bit much; most likely only the latter one is
necessary. I'd like to get away with only installing what I absolutely
need, which I hope is just the /usr/ports/devel/linux-glib2 port.
Info and such:
