[./play.it] Install Zeus: Master of Olympus on Linux
-----
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), wrestool and icotool.
1. Making packages
This first script will create a folder named "zeus-data" containing all data needed to run Zeus. You'll have to change the value of ZEUS_SETUP to the path to GOG installer :
export ZEUS_SETUP="/path/to/setup_zeus_*.exe"
export WINEARCH=wine32
export WINEDEBUG=-all
mkdir $HOME/zeus-data
cd $HOME/zeus-data
mkdir install-prefix
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/zeus-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 "$ZEUS_SETUP" .
wine "$(basename "$ZEUS_SETUP")"
cd zeus
wrestool -t 14 -x Zeus.exe | icotool -x -
mkdir -p ../../share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps ../../share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps
mv *16x16x4.png ../../share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/zeus.png
mv *32x32x8.png ../../share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/zeus.png
rm *.png
cd $HOME/zeus-data
rm -Rf "usr/local/games/$(basename "$ZEUS_SETUP")" install-prefix
In the installer, click "Options" and untick anything but "Zeus" (and EULA of course (no desktop icons and stuff)) and set the path to "D:\zeus".
/!\ Don't launch the game at the end of the installation. Click "Exit". /!\
This second script will create the launchers allowing you to play Zeus on Linux :
mkdir -p $HOME/zeus/usr/local/bin
cd $HOME/zeus/usr/local/bin
echo "
#!/bin/sh
export WINEDEBUG=-all
export WINEPREFIX=\$HOME/.zeus/.wine-prefix
mkdir -p \$HOME/.zeus/.wine-prefix
export WINEARCH=win32
wineboot --init
cd \$HOME/.zeus/.wine-prefix/dosdevices/
rm *
ln -s ../drive_c c\:
mkdir \$HOME/.zeus/.wine-prefix/dosdevices/d\:
ln -s \$HOME/.zeus \$HOME/.zeus/.wine-prefix/dosdevices/d\:/zeus
cd \$HOME/.zeus/
ln -s /usr/local/games/zeus/* .
rm Zeus.ini
cp /usr/local/games/zeus/Zeus.ini ." > zeus-init
echo "
#!/bin/sh
export WINEDEBUG=-all
export WINEPREFIX=\$HOME/.zeus/.wine-prefix
if ! [ -d ~/.zeus ]; then
sh /usr/local/bin/zeus-init
fi
cd \$HOME/.zeus/.wine-prefix/dosdevices/d\:/zeus
wine Zeus.exe" > zeus
chmod a+x *
cd ..
mkdir -p share/applications
echo "[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Name=Zeus + Poseidon
Icon=zeus
Exec=zeus
Categories=Application;Game;" > share/applications/zeus.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/zeus-data
mkdir DEBIAN
echo "Package: zeus-data
Version: 1
Section: non-free
Priority: extra
Architecture: all
Depends:
Installed-Size: 789116
Maintainer: local build
Description: Zeus + Poseidon - data" > DEBIAN/control
cd $HOME
fakeroot dpkg-deb --build zeus-data/
rm -Rf zeus-data/
This first build might take a long time, the package is around 770M.
cd $HOME/zeus
mkdir DEBIAN
echo "Package: zeus
Version: 1
Section: contrib
Priority: extra
Architecture: all
Depends: zeus-data, wine | wine-unstable | wine:i386 | wine-unstable:i386
Installed-Size: 36
Maintainer: local build
Description: Zeus + Poseidon - binaries" > DEBIAN/control
cd $HOME
fakeroot dpkg-deb --build zeus/
rm -Rf zeus/
You can install the resulting packages by launching (as root) :
dpkg -i zeus-data.deb
dpkg -i zeus.deb
apt-get install -f
Enjoy!
