I’d like to install Bemines on Haiku. I noticed the source on Github but haven’t found an installable version. Is there one readily available or a simple process to compile the Github source?
Thanks,
Compurex
P.S. Having fun playing with the BeOS ecosystem again after all these years…
The process to compile is simple, but it did not work for me. The compile failed, but that may be because I am on 64bit. If you are on 32bit you could give it a shot. Open Terminal and enter the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/HaikuArchives/BeMines
cd BeMines
cd src
make
If it works there will be an executable called BeMines created in the src folder. If it does not work, you will see an error message in Terminal.
The compile error might be an easy fix. I don’t think the problematic portion of code is being used. I opened an issue on GitHub, and I’ll look at it more later - but it’s getting too late to start anything tonight.
It works fine in gcc2.
Why you want to compile it?
Use HaikuDepot in the Applications menu and install it now.

I don’t see Bemines listed in the repos in HaikuDepot
Am I missing something?
BTW, I’m using 32-bit Haiku…
It is enabled only for GCC2 Haiku, and not for 64 bit, see here.
If you using 64 bit Haiku, then this is the reason.
Then it is broken, somewhere. I assume it is the git+https source uri.
Create an Issue at Github: https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/issues
I fixed the gcc7 (64bit) build and made the changes to the recipe. BeMines should appear at HaikuDepot momentarily.
I successfully installed via the HaikuDepot app and repos now.
A big thanks to all for the help and advice!
