An option like that is generally not kept in Makefiles. If makefiles are involved, it's more likely as a defines that is then used by the c code. This command "grep -r default_sound_plugin_name *" suggests that client/options.c is the file to modify. I see 2 occurrences of default_sound_plugin_name there. The first one (line 316) sets the default value for the -P option when freeciv is run via the command line (defaults to 0). The second (line 475) is for the actual checkbox used in the Options dialog. Presumably setting the first NULL to "sdl" (including the "") changes the setting. I don't know which of the two locations would need to be changed. It might be just one or both. The following two lines modify each of the two instances. Make a PatchScript field in the .info file, add them both, and then comment out (prefix with #) as needed until you get the right combination (don't forget to remove ~/.freeciv-client-rc-2.2 between runs to make sure you get a clean start). perl -pi -e 's|default_sound_plugin_name\[512\] = "\\0"|default_sound_plugin_name\[512\] = "sdl"|' client/options.c perl -pi -e 's|COC_SOUND, GUI_LAST, NULL|COC_SOUND, GUI_LAST, "sdl"|' client/options.c Hanspeter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
