Okay, out of the swirl: nothing major to report, but I haven't checked out sound (I don't have any sound output on my box at present, for lack of working headphones or the like).
Yay! Just so I know what this has been confirmed to work on, what distro is this ? And kernel version ?
Some of the minor functions of the installer didn't really work on my box; the menu to be created was somewhere in .wine, which doesn't seem to make sense. The one menu I use is the Debian one through Sawfish, so I wouldn't know *where* the Drod installer is supposed to create its shortcuts.
DROD has nothing to do with Wine, so yeah, that's really strange. When you say menu, you mean the .desktop file, right ? I have no idea why that would end up anywhere other than the Gnome/KDE menu directories, but the way Loki Setup (the installer) handles menu entries always was a bit strange and is outdated by now anyway. What it
should do is just conform to the freedesktop.org menu specifications.
The installer also wanted to run ~/drod-jtrh-demo, but that's a folder; ~/drod-jtrh-demo/drod-jtrh-demo would be the one. I used the default path for the Drod madness.
Yeah, this is a known bug in the installer. Both the directory and the symlink (if you install one) have the same name, so if both the directory and symlink is placed in ~, only the directory will be created. However, Loki Setup will think the symlink was installed and attempt to run it.
There's a lot of other problems with the installer, too. Loki Setup is really starting to show its age. Unfortunately it'd probably be easier to just make a new installer from scratch than to try to patch it up.. Anyway, something needs to be done about this, but not for 2.0.15.
