Hi,
After build I get this error when I try to execute the program:

./mininim: create_bitmap (320, 200): cannot create bitmap

Using "al_get_errno()" in the code I get the value "0x02" but I don't know what it means :(

I don't know how to get more information about this issue to help you, if you have an idea, I'm happy to help you with this awesome project... ;)

Hi!
I'm trying to build your program in my Debian and I have a problem with "./configure":

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for ALLEGRO... no
configure: error: MININIM requires Allegro 5.0.9 (or superior)

Allegro is installed (obviously) the problem is the name in pkg-config: in Debian sid is "allegro-5" instead of "allegro-5.0":

tobias@ontable:~/Games/mininim/mininim-0.10$ pkg-config --list-all | grep allegro | sort
allegro-5 allegro - Allegro game programming library
allegro_acodec-5 allegro_acodec - Allegro game programming library, audio codec addon

bye!

to run on ARM machine?

The code seems to be using many functions from
allegro-5.1, that are not available in 5.0. But only
version 5.0 is checked in configure. As a result,
the following link errors:

anim.c:(.text+0x916): undefined reference to al_set_display_flag' anim.c:(.text+0xad4): undefined reference toal_set_display_flag'
src/kernel/video.o: In function init_video': video.c:(.text+0x365): undefined reference toal_create_builtin_font'
src/kernel/audio.o: In function enable_audio': audio.c:(.text+0x142): undefined reference toal_set_mixer_gain'
audio.c:(.text+0x1a6): undefined reference to al_set_mixer_gain' src/kernel/audio.o: In functionset_mixer_gain':

dialog.c:(.text+0x43): undefined reference to `al_shutdown_native_dialog_addon'

It would be nice if allegro-5.0 is properly supported, rather
than to tighten the version check. fedora-23 only has 5.0.

Attempt to build the executable from v200928.tar.gz fails with

src/mininim.h:82:10: fatal error: iup/iup.h: No such file or directory
   82 | #include <iup/iup.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~

When you press Ctrl-g, game is not paused.
While you select the file to save, the guard can
come close and you save in a very bad position.
All games I know of, freeze during the save dialog.

Btw, how is to restore?

When make install DESTDIR="..." was executed by emerge, access was denied to /usr/share/mininim in make rule install-data-hook. This was caused by $(MKDIR_P) "${pkgdatadir}"
line.

I am not sure, this issue may be gentoo-specific, but I patched Makefile.am to use
"${DESTDIR}${pkgdatadir}" instead of "${pkgdatadir}". Luckily only one rule needed to be changed.

In configure.ac texinfo version is parsed out by sed:

texinfo_version=`$MAKEINFO --version | $SED -n 's/^makeinfo.* \(@<:@@<:@:digit:@:>@.@:>@*\)$/\1/p'`

In my gentoo with texinfo v6.1 makeinfo binary is symlink to texi2any and --version string is:

$ makeinfo --version
texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.1

To configure without fails I changed sed line to

$SED -n '1s/^.* \(@<:@@<:@:digit:@:>@.@:>@*\)$/\1/p'

In original game, the sword is taken on-guard
automatically when the guard is seen. But minimim
doesn't take the sword out, so guard just kills me.

If you cheat the guard and enter the second
level without taking the sword, you should be
awarded with the sword automatically. Otherwise
there is no way to go any further. Original game
did exactly that. There was no dead-end if you
enter level2 without a sword.

I played original game many years ago and cannot be entirely sure here.
When player gets to second screen(below first room) soldier from the right screen immediately start charging and eventually moves to current screen. In original game all positions in this screen were safe.

Hi! :-)

Running the game with the --start-time=N switch (eg. mininim --start-time=7200), do the game to start and playing the introduction, but when pressing Enter the game starts but returns a segmentation fault and aborts.

I'm on Mint 17.3 x64 KDE and i installed the 0.10 version from homepage.

Bye! :-)

When trying to compile branch next

on ./configure LUA_LIB="-llua50 -llualib50" I got:
