Bug#790407: rott: please show a dialog box if files are missing

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: rott
Version: 1.1.2+svn287-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

If someone has installed rott without providing some data in
/usr/share/games/rott; when the game is selected from a desktop environment,
nothing happens. (well something is printed to stderr, but user never sees it)

Here is a patch that forward the message to a dialog box.

Much simpler function "SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox(SDL_MESSAGEBOX_ERROR,"
is only available for SDL2+.

Screenshot of basicaly the same patch for OpenTyrian:

----

Step 2 is appending a Debian-specific wording to "W_InitFiles: no files found"
to let the user known he can automaticaly install the data with game-data-
packager.

Alexandre
