You've probably used --save-config on previous version of the downloader which has saved "no-cover" value to config.cfg
Boost program options tries to use no-cover saved in the config which causes the error
Remove "no-cover" from ~/.config/lgogdownloader/config.cfg

sed -e '/no-cover/d' -i ~/.config/lgogdownloader/config.cfg

You can use boost regex or pcre meanwhile and later switch to std::regex when compilers will catch up.

Hello All,

as always. here are the Packages for Debian 7 Wheezy (32bit and 64bit):

http://mash-systeme.de/sites/default/files/downloads/lgogdownloader_2.16-1_i386.deb

or

http://mash-systeme.de/sites/default/files/downloads/lgogdownloader_2.16-1_amd64.deb


... or get it from the Repo:

deb http://mash-systeme.de/debian/ wheezy main


Thanks to Sude for including this information on the first page!

Do you plan to also make a repo for Debian testing? I'd argue that the majority of desktop Debian users don't use stable but use testing (and some even use Sid). I personally compile it from source anyway, but some users might find it useful. Also, it's probably worth submitting lgogdownloader to Debian proper if anyone has time to maintain it there.

thanks for the update.

SORRY, I DIDN'T READ YOUR RELEASE NOTE ABOVE. DISREGARD BELOW.

low priority, but I'm getting an error with 2.16 Makefile generating the man page:

help2man -N -i man/lgogdownloader.supplemental.groff -o man/lgogdownloader.1 bin/Release/lgogdownloader
help2man: can't get `--help' info from bin/Release/lgogdownloader
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make: *** [after_release] Error 2

it did work to add the switch suggested in the error message, but I'm not fully clear what is the result of this. The manpage seems to still work fine with this change. Note that I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit.

ifdef HELP2MAN
help2man --no-discard-stderr -N -i $(MAN_DIR)/lgogdownloader.supplemental.groff -o $(MAN_DIR)/$(MAN_PAGE) $(OUT_RELEASE)
gzip -f -9 $(MAN_DIR)/$(MAN_PAGE)
endif

There are unfortunately no plans atm to maintain a Debian testing and/or unstable (aka Sid) repo by me.

/Signed.

Thanks for the update! I was finally able to successfully login again and download games again!

Thanks, login works for me too.

I saw a weirdness while checking tesla effect:

The file that was downloaded is the same file that I had before. Checksumming problem?

Edit: my command line:
lgogdownloader --check-orphans --download --repair --create-xml automatic --no-subdirectories --language=524287 --platform=7 --game tesla_*

The downloader didn't use remote xml data for patches
It used the local xml data which was old and thus the repair got stuck on the first chunk failing
This is now fixed in git

0a20ef9 Use remote xml data for patches

Oops.

LGOGDownloader 2.17

* Add DESTDIR variable to Makefile to allow easier packaging
* Add explicit dependency to install target to ensure all needed files have been built
- The downloader now uses remote xml data for patches
- Explicitly set the file names in Makefile for install

md5: 3533c4e0168508df72908d7ef4f9d291

Thanks to the Makefile changes 'make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install' now works with makepkg on Arch Linux

Thanks for the Update!

A side note: Starting up the new version said that "no-cover" was an invalid option. Come to find out you've changed the configuration format and therefore I needed to change my :

...
no-cover = false
...

into

...
cover = true
...

First of all, many thanks for your great work, to Sude and all the others helping with the lgogdownloader. I wouldn't have bought nearly as many games from GOG without having this downloader to manage them. I'm especially impressed by the speed you adjust the downloader to changes on GOG. Update the git repo, rebuild the downloader and "it works" again, awesome!

Now my question: I do not understand the option "--create-xml automatic". It seems to make no difference if I set this option or not. I always get the same XML files (for the game installers but not for other downloaded files). Does this option only work when you download a file the first time? Or what is this option meant for?

(I would like to have checksums for all my downloaded files and have only tested with one game so far to not stress the server too much.)
