Have you tried starting it up via SSH with X11 forwarding? ("ssh -X") It would be *dead* slow, but at least it should boot up.

However, having played around with the code a bit, it is clear that a 64-bit port of this application will take some serious maintenance, mostly due to its (legacy) Windows-centric memory handling (lots of ugly DWORDs etc). Currently it compiles and starts up, but segfaults after the initial loading screen. Fixing this is a slightly big(ish) and time-consuming endeavour, one which would benefit greatly from the assistance of a bigger Fedora audience; therefore my current recommendation is to exclude x86_64 for now, add it to "devel", and file a bug report against warzone2100 detailing the 32-bit-windows-to-64-bit-linux pointer issues (see Bug #158646 for an example). The point is, in the long run, the 64-bit issue will *have* to be fixed, but it might be solved quicker if the package is accepted for devel/i386 and ppc, and a specific bug report is filed against it. I will let this suggestion simmer for a day or so before taking action, so if someone does not agree with this idea, please speak up. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
