There was a mix of compareVersions "$__os_debian_ver" OP $arg and [[ "$__os_debian_ver OP $arg ]] around the code.
As $__os_debian_ver is always an integer, use the bash built in operators for performance.
The compareVersions call is significantly slower as it uses an external command (dpkg).
The autogen.sh script has been removed upstream in favour of using autoreconf -i
Switch to checking for autogen.sh and use it if present, otherwise use autoreconf -iv (--install --verbose).
Add required autoconf-archive as a dependency.
The different Marathon games are each launched with a unique emulator config, each one configured to launch only that particular game with the executable and game data directory hardcoded into the emulator command.
This change combines them into one "alephone" emulator config, with just the executable in the command, and splits the game data dir out into the "%ROM%" parameter. This allows easy user integration of additional alephone engine games simply by adding their game data and a launch script such as:
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "alephone" "/path/to/game/dir/"
Pros:
- cleaner "configs" folder with only one shared emulator instead of a different one for each game
- easy user integration of additional alephone engine games
Cons:
- none that I can think of off hand?
* change version compare to use sdl2 dependencies and master branch on stretch
* added libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dev dependencies (required to build, even if using software render / disabling opengl)
* remove unneeded cd to tmp dir
* get rid of _INFMSGS and instead have a rp_module_help field with information in.
this can then be displayed in the setup menus, and not just after configuring.
* rp_module_menus is no more - instead use rp_module_section with one of
- core (core packages)
- main (main packages - which will be installed by default in the image)
- opt (optional packages)
- exp (experimental packages)
- driver (driver packages)
- config (configuration packages / tools)
* The setup menu organises the data based on the above sections. more could be added in the future if needed. Packages (internally modules), can be added / configured / removed individually, or as entire sections.
* The setup menu will automatically detect if a binary is available to be installed. the nobin flag is no longer needed. modules that install directly from binary via aptInstall or via a prebuilt binary need to use an install_bin_ function instead of install_
* rp_module_section of type "config" will have the "gui_" function called first if it's available, otherwise a standard depends/sources/build/install/configure will be called
* configure is no longer used for "gui" configuration function - use gui_ instead. Had already started to move to this before, but now it is required.
* enable x86/x11
* checkout source with github rather than downloading archive
* add autoconfig/automake dependency to generate configure
* check it builds correctly with md_ret_require
* unpack zips directly to $romdir/ports/alephone rather than via __tmpdir and chown to $user
adjust ports configs / symlinks to $configdir/ports and move old configs to new location (when calling addPort)
fix up some paths in a few experimental modules (wolf4sdl / sdlpop)
