Hello there 👋 Please respond as soon as possible if a Pi-Apps maintainer requests more information from you. Stale issues will be closed after a lengthy period of time with no response. |
|
your zipfile is empty lol |
|
Whoops! Let me look into that. On my end it says it's only 202 bytes. Is that what you got? |
|
yes |
|
Sorry. This is the first time I have used the RPi5 archiver to create a zip file. Could I upload a tar instead? |
sure |
|
Thanks. Give me 5 mins or so.... |
|
Looks like it won't let me send a tar file. I'll try again to figger out how to make a zipive.... |

I just uploaded "LinuxAirCombatForRpi5.zip". Did you get 5.9 KB? |

Discord won't me sign up because I do not own a cell phone. I do not WANT a cell phone. Who wants to be tracked all the time and targeted for spam, ads, and monitored by the NSA? (I use VOIP from my desk.) VOIP and email. |

the zip works, you can see it if you click the " |
|
Yes. I see that the content seems to be exactly what I intended. I have exercised the install and uninstall scripts from my end several times and I confirm they work for me on my Raspberry Pi 5 using 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS. |
|
OK, not sure how soon I can review it. Thanks for the work. |
|
Thank you. I'm excited about the high-quality exposure my flight simulator will have through your efforts. Regards.... |
use the if this flight sim is your project as you say it is you should really improve your makefile most makefile on other projects have separate rules for installing than building (eg: an |
|
makefile is incorrect. LIBS need to come after OBJS otherwise you get undefined references |
|
makefile produces a binary that cannot be run from the build folder. its common practice that installation is not required to run a binary and the build directory is setup such that it can be run |
|

Thanks for helping me improve. Perhaps the presence of source code and makefile in my download archive confused you? Although my standard download includes source code and an associated makefile, there is no need for their use because the bin/Release subfolder includes a precompiled executable for the Raspberry Pi 5 on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS. The installation script I sent you actually deletes the source code and makefile and uses only the precompiled binary executable. I don't want to change my standard download archive structure for Pi-Apps because it is widely used and comprehensively documented for so many platforms. It's true that LAC demands installation at /usr/bin and will not run correctly from the build folder. This is indeed unusual, but it is important and very helpful in maintaining compatibility with AppImage distribution. I really don't want to reverse that decision for the Pi-Apps because it would demand treating Pi-Apps differently from everybody else. It's true that the function callbackSwitchMultimedia() is attempting to invoke firefox. LAC has a run-time configuration mechanism through which LAC users designate their own default browser for use with LAC, which may be different from the default browser they use for other activities. |
Nope. It was clear to me that the source code and binaries both exist in the download. I am giving you feedback on the compilation process because I would rather not use your binaries when compilation is "simple" and won't result in binaries that are incompatible with the various distros that we support. If you compile on bookworm, GLIBC requirements will be too high in the binary to run it on bullseye. For applications that can be compiled quickly and easily (like yours) it is always desirable to perform the compilation on the host.
See above
I have not asked you to change your download archive structure.
Appimages do not require your "lazy" build process.
I am not asking that you fix something for pi-apps. I am asking that you fix your terrible build and install system for everyone. Please follow the GNU compliant makefile standard already in place. Having users execute a series of janky install commands is not. We do not want to maintain your janky install commands in pi-apps. I suggest you read some documentation https://access.redhat.com/documentation/fr-fr/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/packaging_and_distributing_software/placing-arbitrary-artifacts-in-the-system-using-the-make-install-command_preparing-software-for-rpm-packaging https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html and look at other FOSS projects and investigate using automake https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ for creating your GNU standards compliant makefile.
don't make firefox the default then. have it be |
|
Here is an example of a (potentially not fully standards compliant) professional makefile https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/blob/main/Makefile from btop |
|
Is "x-www-browser" something that will work on different distros? Or is it specific to Raspberry Pi OS? I just tried it on PcLinuxOs and got "command not found". But on Raspberry Pi Os it does work. |
its debian (and derivative) specific. hence why you should use |
|
Yes. Thanks. That xdg-open open looks a lot better. I will make that change for the default in my next update. |
|
I will update my install scripts to use /tmp instead of: I can see the wisdom of that. Thanks. |
|
I think the only place where my Makefile touches the user/s home filesystem is this: I remember that solved a thorny install problem for me YEARS ago. For the past 5 years or so those lines have just been leftovers. I can delete those lines right now because they haven't been needed for a long time. Thanks for helping me clean those out. |

Any updates on this? |
|
Sorry... I"m not forgetting or ingnoring this..... I just had a big "life intervention" event. Please don't let my delay interfere with your other work. I'll get back to this.... I'm just not sure when.

I saw your new post on the Pi forums. Any updates for here, or have you lost interest in adding this to Pi-Apps? |

Thanks for the followup. I am still interested, but my progress has been slowed by an important (medical) problem. I don't know how long it will be before I can catch up. Higher priorities right now. I hope you are doing well and I remain an admirer of your product.

What is the name of the app?
Linux Air Combat
Where is the app hosted?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxaircombat/
About the app
Linux Air Combat ("LAC") is a free, open-source, online, multi-player combat flight simulator that strives for realism, with 54 of the most important aircraft of World War II. Control flight with joystick, console game controller, or mouse and keyboard.
Fighters can combat other fighters, escort friendly bombers, attack enemy bombers, or strafe enemy airfields, ships, and buildings.
Bombers can rain destruction upon enemy airfields or dive-bomb ships and facilities, but they must first survive the trip to and through enemy territory!
Bombers are automatically defended by their own gunners.
After installation, launch LAC from a bash shell by typing:
lac
followed by the ENTER key.
