Newpkg: megaglest

[IntinteDAO]

Things to improve:

• The game does not install game data files, as they are located in a different source. This needs to be fixed so that the game and game data are installed at the same time.
  https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-data/releases/download/3.13.0/megaglest-standalone-data-3.13.0.tar.xz

• Menu entries and icons are in the game data file, so they need to be copied during installation.

If you can help @robertkirkman

Game works too slow for me, however Zink works slower every month :P Does not work on virglrenderer Android (for me), but works on llvmpipe (but unplayable)

[robertkirkman]

If you just write -DLUA_MATH_LIBRARY=m does that work instead and prevent the error in CI? Yes I know that some packages like neovim do this, but it just looks like a big mess, maybe it's fine with only -DLUA_MATH_LIBRARY=m. If it really does have to be like this then you can move this to termux_step_pre_configure() (like it is in neovim)

[robertkirkman]

Ok I see when I test, it does need either that or a patch, so put it in termux_step_pre_configure() like neovim:

termux_step_pre_configure() {
	TERMUX_PKG_EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ARGS+=" -DLUA_MATH_LIBRARY=$TERMUX_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN/sysroot/usr/lib/$TERMUX_HOST_PLATFORM/$TERMUX_PKG_API_LEVEL/libm.so"

What does this do? (is it a placeholder for WIP function?)

You can add additional URLs in TERMUX_PKG_SRCURL, like this:

TERMUX_PKG_SRCURL=(https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-source/archive/refs/tags/${TERMUX_PKG_VERSION}.tar.gz
					https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-data/releases/download/3.13.0/megaglest-standalone-data-${TERMUX_PKG_VERSION}.tar.xz)
TERMUX_PKG_SHA256=(e02e58c2329558cc5d67374b5e5f9b3cfaafc300b96feff71df8d4b0d39e1eaa
					996040acfb338cfcbd0612b13db9c1734a7588bcc60c7e9b87e9fd619629dda3)

this will make the megaglest-standalone-data be extracted somewhere in $TERMUX_PKG_SRCDIR too, in this case mixed into the other sources, and you can try to install the assets from there in termux_step_post_make_install().

Yep. I had a issues with that. I usually create a package with 1 link, not 2s and I don't know how to work on 2 archives at once.

I have given the code block which you can copy and paste in order to start with it, but if you still don't understand it, let me know and later I can try to finish the entire thing and send it

I don't really know why docs fail to generate, but if you want to proceed without generating docs, you could by doing this:
