SuperTuxKart porting

I tried to manually execute the binary and gets the error below

Where did you find the binary installed? Was it where it was supposed to be?

/opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet/supertuxkart

@antidroid Well it seems that click files are located in multiple directories, most likely just symlinks. First is at /opt/click.ubuntu.com/supertuxkart/current/bin but it also exists at /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet/supertuxkart/bin. The latter seems to be the path used in the desktop files of click apps. I honestly have no idea where your app is wrong. I compared it to other working apps and it seems correct.

@AntiDroid You need to package the required libraries in the click. This is how I do it for Neverball: https://gitlab.com/abmyii/neverball-touch/-/blob/master/clickable.json#L43-58

The method I use to identify them is just trial-and-error. I assume it runs on your device because you have the libraries already installed, whereas most devices don't have those libraries preinstalled.

@kugiigi What you could try is to use the libraries packaged with Neverball when running the game manually, since it should have most (if not all) of the required libraries. To do that, run:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/click.ubuntu.com/neverball.abmyii/current/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu:/opt/click.ubuntu.com/*.abmyii/current/lib/*

And then run SuperTuxKart manually as you did before.

@abmyii I tried that but now it's looking for libopenal.so.1

@kugiigi If you are up for it, you can just manually download all the required libs until it works - there shouldn't be too many more TBH. The process is a bit finicky, but doable. I can explain how to, if you are interested.

Unfortunately I don't have an arm64 device, else I would have tried it myself.

@abmyii Thank you very much you have saved me having to figure out how to add the libs. I had looked through UBports development guide for dependencies but wasn't sure exactly how to go about it. I now see with your information it is this section.

@kugiigi It is easy for me to add the libs but difficult to figure out which ones it needs without a working device.

No pressure on anyone to test this, it can wait until I have a working device. People can fork my repo and build it themselves too. I have included build instructions in the ubuntu_touch folder README. I have just updated the repo with the current clickable.json incuding the known needed libs so far.

@antidroid I had to install libvorbisfile3 and libopenal1.

Now this appears:

[error ] FileManager: Could not find file 'supertuxkart.git'in any standard location (esp. ../data).
[error ] FileManager: Last location checked '/./share/supertuxkart/data/'.
[fatal ] FileManager: Set $SUPERTUXKART_DATADIR to point to the data directory.

@trischi Thank you, I will look into it.
