ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical
adventure and role-playing games, provided you already have their data files.
The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with
the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never
designed! ScummVM is a complete rewrite of these games' executables and is not
an emulator.
ScummVM supports a huge library of adventures with over 250 games in total.
It supports many classics published by legendary studios like LucasArts,
Sierra On-Line, Revolution Software, Cyan, Inc. and Westwood Studios. Next to
ground-breaking titles like the Monkey Island series, Broken Sword, Myst,
Blade Runner and countless other games you will find some really obscure
adventures and truly hidden gems to explore.
See https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility.php for a full list of games.
The following freewared games are available via ports at the time of writing:
Beneath a Steel Sky: games/bass
Flight of the Amazon Queen: games/fotaq
===> The following configuration options are available for scummvm-2026.3.0:
CURL=off: Enable ScummVM cloud storage backend
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
FLAC=off: FLAC lossless audio codec support
FLUIDSYNTH=on: MIDI playback support via FluidSynth
GIF=on: GIF image format support
MIKMOD=on: MOD audio format support
MT32EMU=on: MT-32 emulator
SNDIO=off: Sndio audio support
SONIVOX=off: Sonivox EAS (Embedded Audio Synthesis) sound driver
TTS=off: Text-to-Speech support
VPX=off: VP8/VP9 video codec support
XENGINES=off: Experimental/Unstable engine support

games/scummvm: Update to 2026.1.0
* Disable the newly introduced Musepack support for now, because it's
hardly used by any engine at the moment.
* Complete the switch to the preferred DISTVERSION that was overlooked
in 0a08a3270bad while I'm here.
* The version numbering scheme has been changed to YEAR.RELEASE.PATCH.
Changelog:

MFH: No (feature release)
games/scummvm: Update to 2.9.0
* Remove the backported patch introduced in 7999da064c4b for
compatibility with FreeType2 2.13.3 and newer as it's included in this
release and hence no longer required.
* Disable the Unix /dev/sequencer support via OSS for the time being to
prevent build errors. ScummVM has recently received OSS synth device
support and FreeBSD's implementation of OSS lacks a corresponding
IOCTL command SNDCTL_SYNTH_ID for this.
* Take this opportunity to set the FLUIDSYNTH option as default to
enable general MIDI device emulation via FluidSynth, which requires
little additional dependencies. Support for FluidSynth is provided by
default with the official upstream binary packages and has also been
enabled as well among other BSDs and distros for some time.
Changelog:
https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.9.0/ReleaseNotes.html
MFH: No (feature release)
games/scummvm: Update to 2.8.0
* Add new default option MIKMOD, which adds support for Impulse Tracker
audio files that are used by some games of the "ags" engine.
* Introduce the non-default options SONIVOX and VPX as well. The latter
one adds movie support for the "sludge" engine which is still
considered as unstable and therefore not built by default.
* Add a workaround make the "xeen" engine, which could be built by
default since release 2.5.0, still available and remove a no longer
required patch for the "hpl" engine.
Changelog:

games/scummvm: Simplify Makefile
* Add "USES=localbase" to get rid of the configure parameters that
contain ${LOCALBASE}.
* Remove the patch for the configure script, which is no longer needed.
* Pet portclippy as well.
* No bump of PORTREVISION as the resulting package doesn't change.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

games/scummvm: Update to 2.6.0
* Upstream has changed the license, set LICENSE accordingly.
* In order to compile the whole code, a compiler which can at least

games/scummvm: Update to 2.5.0
* Version 2.4 was skipped because this is the first release that
supports 2.5D games (almost 3D), thanks to the merge with ResidualVM.
* Fold the A52, MP3, PNG and VORBIS options because their dependencies
are now required to provide the full set of stable engines.
* Remove now obsolete patch from 05a45a5e50775.

games/scummvm: prepare for freetype2 update

games/scummvm: Add new options, fix QA warnings
* Introduce a TTS option to avoid possible QA stage warnings with build
environments that have already libspeechd.so because the configure
script automatically adds it as an additional dependency in that case.
Set the option as non-default because it's only used by a small set of
engines and pulls in quite a few dependencies.
* The same as above also applies for enviroments that have GTK3
installed. Disable the support for GTK3 for now, as it only affects
the dialogs in the options menu and it does not cause any major
changes, but also requires a lot of additional dependencies.
* Add another option, XENGINES, that also enables experimental engines.
* Bump PORTREVISION to force a rebuild due changed dependencies.

games/scummvm: Update to 2.2.0
* Introduce A52 and CURL options to avoid possible QA stage errors with
build environments that have already audio/liba52 or ftp/curl installed
because the configure script automatically adds them as an additional

Set the A52 option as default as it improves the user experience with the
"zvision" engine regarding audio/video playback.
Leave the CURL option as non-default for now, because the ScummVM cloud
storage is a fairly new feature that has been introduced since the 2.1.0
release. That option can be set as default later if there's great demand.

games/scummvm: Update to 2.1.1
Clean-up some stage QA warnings/issues while I'm here:
* Fix pkg-plist issues if the MP3 option is set to off.
* Add "iconv" to USES as scummvm is linked against libiconv.so.
* Also add "--disable-ogg" to VORBIS_CONFIGURE_OFF if the VORBIS option is
set to off. Otherwise scummvm is linked against "libogg.so" which is a
dependency of the VORBIS option but "libogg.so" is already pulled in via
the non-conditional "libtheoradec.so".

games/scummvm:
- Update to ScummVM 1.9.0
- 1.9.0 isn't hosted on SF anymore so switch MASTER_SITES to scummvm.org
- Switch to using SDL2 which is now ScummVM's default backend.
- SDL2 has an sndio audio backend so this makes it possible to use
ScummVM with an sndio server.
- Adds an SNDIO option to the port to enable/disable the sndio MIDI
backend. Currently this is picked up by accident when users
have audio/sndio installed and compile ScummVM outside of
Poudriere/Synth.
- Add a couple of missing LIB_DEPENDS

games/scummvm: Partially revert configure patch
The use of "$(prefix)" in the configure file seems not to be
understand. On FreeBSD, it's ignored but it actually causes failures
on DragonFly. I suspect these flags aren't actually used.
If it turns out they are used, and support for non-standard PREFIX
(not /usr/local) is desired, the REINPLACE_CMD macro can adjust
/usr/local with in a post-patch target.

- Ensure that build logs in bulk (package) mode are useful by passing the
--enable-verbose-build argument to configure script
- Register missing dependency on libjpeg, or Wintermute engine would be
disabled; because JPEG library is very common dependency, previously
this bug resulted in broken pkg-plist when built from ports locally
- Remove BROKEN statement for all architectures: it builds fine at least
on PowerPC; I cannot thoroughly test it on sparc64 and ia64, but given
their level of support at the moment, it makes more sense to ask for
forgiveness rather than permission
- While here, wrap some long lines that exceeded standard terminal width

MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%

- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
