During the review of Meka in RPM Fusion, the reviewer noticed that Meka cannot correctly handle UTF-8 encoded paths. His home directory is "/home/göran".

He reports that Meka canno't find meka.dat. Only this file has this problem, the other meka.* files are correctly found.

More info at issue 11 here:

Thanks for your work on the packaging.

The .dat file is loaded thru Allegro using a separate path:

df = g_Datafile = load_datafile (g_Env.Paths.DataFile);
if (g_Datafile == NULL)
Quit_Msg (Msg_Get (MSG_Failed));

So the problem for this one has to be looked in Allegro sources. May depend on version or build type. The version of Allegro that Meka is using (at least for Windows) is around 4.2.x and has no function to load a datafile from a memory buffer.

This has been fixed in the latest unstable branches, given that we switched to Allegro 5 and there is no datafile support in this new version of the library :)
