[Slackbuilds-users] BUG: cannot run pioneer in -current

[Eduardo Sanchez]

Hi there:

Brent and Daniil suggested me to install libtxc_dxtn.

I will do so, but meanwhile please be advised that libtxc_dxtn is not
listed neither as a build nor runtime dependency on pioneer:

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/games/pioneer/?search=pioneer

I'd suggest updating the SlackBuild's documentation in order to take
this dependency into account.

Thanks,

Eduardo
