Fresh install of Shrike...

I'm not getting any sound in TuxRacer.  Sound works
elsewhere -- i.e gnome session sounds, other games
like chromium, cd player, those all work fine.

I seem to recall in 8.0 that Tuxracer was compiled w/o
sound support so maybe that's what has happened here.




Yes, this happened to me too ... seems to be bug 68763 all over again?

I worked around this problem by applying this disgusting hack:

1.) cd /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
2.) Dowload tuxracer-0.61-19.src.rpm from rawhide
3.) rpm -ivh tuxracer-0.61-19.src.rpm
4.) cd ../SOURCES
5.) tar -jxvf tuxracer-0.61.tar.bz2
6.) patch -p0 <tuxracer-0.61-config.patch
7.) tar -jcvf tuxracer-0.61.tar.bz2 tuxracer-0.61
8.) rm -rf tuxracer-0.61
9.) cd ../SPECS
10.) rpmbuild -bb tuxracer.spec

The build will proceed, but you will be warned:

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]

Answer y and the build will proceed.

11.) cd ../RPMS/i386
12.) rpm --erase tuxracer-0.61-19 (if you previously installed it)
13.) rpm -ivh tuxracer-0.61-19.i386.rpm

Voila ... if you are as lucky as I was you will have tux racer with sound.

It appears to me that the tuxracer-0.61-config.patch is not being applied. As a result a straight build of tux racer results in no sound because the SDL_mixer can not be found. Explicitly applying the patch to the configure file seems to fix this build problem.

Let me know if this works out for you. You will need a machine with compilers and development libraries of course.
