Leeloo Report post Posted November 28, 2004 why not use autopackage? http://autopackage.org/ it's really good, but we need something working on ALL distors and also working without X Erm, why without X? do u usally run root in X? Do you usually run game installers as root? Loki installer based games install perfectly as a normal user, you just need to make sure the user running the installer is the owner of the directory to install in (e.g. chown leeloo.users /usr/local/games/ut2004).

Cicero Report post Posted November 28, 2004 I was planning on making an installer based on the Loki one, but I forgot about it when I started working on the ebuild Maybe I'll come back to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted November 29, 2004 err, last time i checked, autopackage had the ability to install under console to. atleast there is a screenshot of a console install in action... and from what i understand its designed to work on as many distros as they can manage to have it work on. therefor they are makeing it very selfcontained...

Placid Report post Posted November 29, 2004 I synced on saturday, no eternal-lands. @Wytter, i know where it is, but its not been added in my last resync... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) Umm.. yes there is... http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?eternal-lands-1.0.0 But it's ~x86 and not ~amd64. Perhaps that's the source of the problem... Just add it to the keywords in the ebuild and you'll be fine. Edited November 29, 2004 by Wytter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
