Hi!
This guide will help you to build packages for your distribution from the GOG installer.
The scripts used in this guide make use of unzip, wine (>= 1.5.9), wget, wrestool and icotool.
1. Making packages
This first script will create a folder named "pharaoh-data" containing all data needed to run Pharaoh. You'll have to change the value of PHARAOH_SETUP to the path to GOG installer :
export PHARAOH_SETUP="/path/to/setup_pharaoh_*.exe"
export WINEARCH=wine32
export WINEDEBUG=-all
mkdir $HOME/pharaoh-data
cd $HOME/pharaoh-data
mkdir install-prefix
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/pharaoh-data/install-prefix
wineboot --init
mkdir -p usr/local/games
cd install-prefix/dosdevices
rm *
ln -s ../drive_c c\:
ln -s ../../usr/local/games d\:
cd d\:
cp "$PHARAOH_SETUP" .
wine "$(basename "$PHARAOH_SETUP")"
cd pharaoh
wrestool -t 14 -x Pharaoh.exe | icotool -x -
mkdir -p ../../share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps ../../share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps
mv *16x16x4.png ../../share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/pharaoh.png
mv *32x32x8.png ../../share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/pharaoh.png
rm *.png
cd $HOME/pharaoh-data
rm -Rf "usr/local/games/$(basename "$PHARAOH_SETUP")" install-prefix $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/GOG.com/Pharaoh\ Gold/
find $HOME/.local/share/applications/ -depth -type d -empty -delete
In the installer, click "Options" and untick anything but "Pharaoh Gold" and EULA and set the path to "D:\pharaoh".
/!\ Don't launch the game at the end of the installation. Click "Exit". /!\
This second script will create the launchers allowing you to play Pharaoh on Linux :
mkdir -p $HOME/pharaoh/usr/local/bin
cd $HOME/pharaoh/usr/local/bin
echo "
#!/bin/sh
export WINEDEBUG=-all
export WINEPREFIX=\$HOME/.pharaoh/.wine-prefix
mkdir -p \$HOME/.pharaoh/.wine-prefix
export WINEARCH=win32
wineboot --init
cd \$HOME/.pharaoh/.wine-prefix/dosdevices/
rm *
ln -s ../drive_c c\:
mkdir \$HOME/.pharaoh/.wine-prefix/dosdevices/d\:
ln -s \$HOME/.pharaoh \$HOME/.pharaoh/.wine-prefix/dosdevices/d\:/pharaoh
cd \$HOME/.pharaoh/
ln -s /usr/local/games/pharaoh/* .
rm Pharaoh.ini
cp /usr/local/games/pharaoh/Pharaoh.ini ." > pharaoh-init
echo "
#!/bin/sh
export WINEDEBUG=-all
export WINEPREFIX=\$HOME/.pharaoh/.wine-prefix
if ! [ -d ~/.pharaoh ]; then
sh /usr/local/bin/pharaoh-init
fi
cd \$HOME/.pharaoh/.wine-prefix/dosdevices/d\:/pharaoh
wine Pharaoh.exe" > pharaoh
chmod a+x *
cd ..
mkdir -p share/applications
echo "[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Name=Pharaoh + Cleopatra
Icon=pharaoh
Exec=pharaoh
Categories=Application;Game;" > share/applications/pharaoh.desktop
2. Building the packages
As for now there are scripts only for .deb packages (Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint...).
More may come later as I learn how to do it (or sooner if you know how to package in other formats and post the method here).
.deb packages
cd $HOME/pharaoh-data
mkdir DEBIAN
echo "Package: pharaoh-data
Version: 1
Section: non-free
Priority: extra
Architecture: all
Depends:
Installed-Size: 797572
Maintainer: local build
Description: Pharaoh + Cleopatra - data" > DEBIAN/control
cd $HOME
fakeroot dpkg-deb --build pharaoh-data/
rm -Rf pharaoh-data/
This first build might take a long time, the package is around 470M.
cd $HOME/pharaoh-data
mkdir DEBIAN
echo "Package: pharaoh-data
Version: 1
Section: non-free
Priority: extra
Architecture: all
Depends:
Installed-Size: 797572
Maintainer: local build
Description: Pharaoh + Cleopatra - data" > DEBIAN/control
cd $HOME
fakeroot dpkg-deb --build pharaoh-data/
rm -Rf pharaoh-data/
You can install the resulting packages by launching (as root) :
dpkg -i pharaoh-data.deb
dpkg -i pharaoh.deb
apt-get install -f
Enjoy!
