 Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2005 2:27 pm Post subject: Created freedroidRPG 0.9.13 DEB package |
 |
|
freedroidRPG is a really fun shoot-em rpg video game for linux featuring TUX as the hero who's saving the world from Micro$oft programmed robots. Source code came from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/freedroid/freedroidrpg-0.9.13.tar.bz2?download and it was pretty easy to compile.
cl-sdl-img & libsdl-net1.2-dev are the dependencies needed for compilling it; I'm not sure what dependencies are needed for installing just the DEB file.
# cd freedroidrpg-0.9.13
# ./configure --with-x
# make
# checkinstall -D
The file is pretty big 89MB; however, it's a pretty good game with good graphics.
Does anyone know how to modify the DEB file so the freedroidRPG command is added to the Xandros 3 KDE games menu?
I wonder if Archlug would be interested in offering this game as a Xandros 3 download for other Xandros 3 users?

First you need to crack open the Deb file so you can alter it. I'll assume the file name is freedroidrpg-0.9.131_i386.deb
From the directory the .deb file is in do:
mkdir deb
dpkg -x freedroidrpg-0.9.131_i386.deb deb/freedroidrpg-0.9.131_i386
dpkg -e freedroidrpg-0.9.131_i386.deb deb/freedroidrpg-0.9.131_i386/DEBIAN
now using XFM enter that directory (deb/freedroidrpg-0.9.131_i386), you'll see 2 directories: usr and DEBIAN
Everything you see here (with the exception of the DEBIAN directory) will be copied to the root of the system at install time.
Now enter "usr/share" and if necessary create a directory called "applications" (of course case and spelling are important).
Create (or use a supplied) .desktop file, if you have to create it, use this as an example:
| Code: |
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Minesweeper
Icon=kmines
Exec=kmines
Type=Application
DocPath=kmines/index.html
X-KDE-StartupNotify=true
X-DCOP-ServiceType=Multi
Categories=StrategyGame
|
The item's menu location is determined by the Categories line, your's should be:
Categories=ArcadeGame
or
Categories=StrategyGame
which ever you see fit, and that .desktop file needs to go into usr/share/applications.
When that's done, go back to the console and issue:
dpkg -b deb/freedroidrpg-0.9.131_i386
(it's important not to include a trailing "/", or it wont work)
your NEW freedroid deb file will be in the deb directory
and that should be it!

Awesome; making Xandros 3 DEB packages looks like is going to be fun.
Thanks
