Can't start Annex on Arch Linux any more

[Iwan Gabovitch]

Hello, one month ago, I could run Annex just fine on my Arch Linux 64bit rolling release box. Since then I ran a few updates.

Output now is: http://codepad.org/sx8kbccp and I assume the following causes the failure to start:

/home/qubodup/src/releases/games/annex/annex.bin: /home/qubodup/src/releases/games/annex/lib/libgnutls.so.26: version `GNUTLS_1_4' not found (required by /home/qubodup/src/releases/games/annex/annex.bin)

I believe gnutls was 3.3.14-2 when I last successfully tried annex and I updated it since to 3.4.1-1.

There is a gnutls2 package in Arch Linux User package repository (AUR) but it fails to build.

Thanks.

Recently were quite similar problems reported to game engine from Ubuntu, which are fixed now and related changes will be also ported to Annex soon, which in my opinion most likely will fix also this bug.

Thanks,

I just tested http://www.portablelinuxgames.org/game/annex and it runs on the same machine. Unfortunately I couldn't locate annex-related scripts in their repo https://sourceforge.net/p/pg4l/code/ci/master/tree/ , in case knowing their method would be useful to you.

In case anyone have similar issues, Instructions what to do (without waiting for next release) are available here:

https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=9815.0 <- general for linux

Also check "Converting and packaging binaries" on the wiki to get a better understanding of how existing MegaGlest builds are reused / modified to generate Annex packages / releases.
