I got Xandros onto my girlfriends desktop. and now she is saying that the lbreakout that is offered on the network is old and doesn't offer enough games. Is there a way to get the new lbreakout. They offer it in debian format on lgames.org, but it doesnt install. I assume dependency issues to be the pronlem, uncertified debian packages.

any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Yes, that would be a dependancy problem. Do you have a machine with a fair bit of hard disk space on it ? Because if you do, I can show you how to build the package that is in debian unstable so it will install on your Xandros machine. It wont be an official package, but it will generate a .deb that will install and it will be the newer version that is in debian unstable.

If you are interested, just post back here.

Ok , here are the instrutcions. They are all console commands that need to be run as root. These instructions are completely at your own peril and unsupported. I must warn you that the menu entries especially may chaneg by installing this new lbreakout package, but if you can live with that then try it out. Also, these instructions will build a packjage that has had no testing dont to it, unlike the one that is on Xandros Networks.

Execute these commands/tasks as root

-----
apt-get install wget
mkdir lbreakout2
cd lbreakout2
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lbreakout2/lbreakout2_2.3.5-1.dsc
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lbreakout2/lbreakout2_2.3.5.orig.tar.gz
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lbreakout2/lbreakout2_2.3.5-1.diff.gz
dpkg-source -x lbreakout2_2.3.5-1.dsc
cd lbreakout2-2.3.5

edit debian/control file and replace libpng3-dev with libpng2-dev in the Build-Depends: line

apt-get install debhelper xlibs-dev libpng2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
dpkg-buildpackage -b
cd ..
dpkg -i lbreakout2_2.3.5-1_i386.deb

update-menus
-----

That should do it.

I tried to install a newer version of lbreakout2 on Xandros Pro 4.1 and did this:

...............................
apt-get install wget
mkdir lbreakout2
cd lbreakout2

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lbreakout2/lbreakout2_2.5.2-2.dsc
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lbreakout2/lbreakout2_2.5.2-2.orig.tar.gz
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lbreakout2/lbreakout2_2.5.2-2.diff.gz
dpkg-source -x lbreakout2_2.5.2-2.dsc
cd lbreakout2-2.5.2

dpkg -i lbreakout2_2.5.2-2_i386.deb

...............................

What to do next?

This is a very old topic.

You can install it from the unsupported repository in Xandros Networks.
You can enable it by opening XN and going to Edit -> Set Application Sources and check the unsupported debian.

After it rebuilds the software list do a search for lbreakout2 and look under Expert.
