Description of problem: I downloaded the source code for Alien Arena to see if they have fixed a crash that I have been able to reproduce more than once in Mageia 6. After I ran dnf build-dep alienarena and ran ./configure I got this error: checking for ode/ode.h... no ./configure: line 413: test: ode.h: integer expression expected configure: error: "Required ODE header file ./configure: line 302: return: ode.h: numeric argument required ./configure: line 312: exit: ode.h: numeric argument required lib64ode-devel is installed and I tried to install libode-devel to see if that could make the issue disappear, but it couldn't be installed. I therefor went to google the error mentioned on the first row and found this page that said that ode 0.12 and newer will give this error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.15.2 How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install lib64ode-devel. 2. Run the configure script for alienarena from the source code directory. 3. Voila! It fails to complete.

Maybe our Alien Arena or our Ode maintainer is willing to help, CC'ing them

@ Kristoffer I regret having asked zézinho and akien for help, because our Bugzilla isn't the right place to ask for help if something doesn't work because it seems to needs a 6 year old unmaintained version of a package. This is not a Mageia bug. Note that our alienarena-7.66 package built fine with ode 0.15.2: * Thu May 25 2017 akien <akien> 7.66-8.mga6 + Revision: 1104622 - Rebuild for ode 0.15.2 maybe having a good look at its spec file or patches helps you to find what you need to be able to use http://svn.icculus.org/alienarena/trunk/ with current Ode. If that doesn't help, you could ask on discuss@ml.mageia.org for help. ==>Btw, *where* is your bug report about the alienarena-7.66-8.mga6 crashes?<== If you didn't file one: if they happen on a clean Mageia system (without third-party packages for things alienarena depends on), then that would be a valid issue to report in our Bugzilla!
