Hi all,
I'm forwarding this reply of mine to Markus (the Author of Lost Labyrinth), to get a discussion going on howto best package Lost Labyrinth. Yes Lost Labyrinth can be packaged for Fedora/Debian now, as a Free purebasic compiler has been written named elice.
As you read in the forwarded mail my first idea was to seperately package elice, but according to Richard, the author of elice, elice only supports a subset of purebasic (the subset that Lost Labyrinth uses), and this is likely to stay like this. So elice really is mroe of a Lost Labyrinth compiler then a full purebasic compiler. Richard also expects that for the coming few releases at least each new Lost Labyrinth release will be accompanied by a new elice, so currently I'm tending to putting both elice and Lost Labyrinth in one sourcepackage, and bootstrap Lost Labyrinth using the included elice, and never put elice itself in any binary packages, what do you think?
Next I'll also forward a reply from Richard where he explains about the current state of elice.
Thanks & Regards,
Hans
