- Description: Glest is a 3D fantasy realtime strategy game.
- Comments: Nice graphics but no multiplayer mode yet.
The game is not big-endian friendly and the big endian patch is not finished. It is [http://pkg-games.alioth.debian.org/devel/glest-be-patch/glest-cvs20070106-incomplete-be-enabling.patch published] in its [http://pkg-games.alioth.debian.org/devel/glest-be-patch/STATUS-TODO current state] as a patch the upstream CVS (as of 2006-01-06). Unfortunately I will not have access to a powerpc/big endian machine starting soon (probably next week) so I can't continue with this.
another patch against the CVS version appeared at http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=6675; the patch is merged in the trunk of our repo, but is disabled for now until we get a confirmation that it works.
