Simplest way to install Steam under linux?
Okay, I recently screwed my Fedora installation, and I want to make sure that when i nuke it and rebuild it ill be doing everything i need to to get steam working under linux with minimal chance of errors.
1. Install Fedora 2. Install accelerated 3d drivers for my card 3. Compile 20031212 wine with opengl support: Code:
./configure --enable-opengl 5. Edit my wine config with these lines: (the paste hasn't exactly come over right) ########################################## #Steam Config by linux-gamers.net # ########################################## [AppDefaults\\Steam.exe\\DllOverrides]; "mshtml" = "native, builtin" ;could crash steam"oleacc" = "builtin, native" "oleaut32" = "builtin, native" "ole" = "builtin, native" "ole32" = "builtin, native" "crypt32" = "native, builtin" "comdlg32" = "builtin, native" "msvcrt" = "native, builtin" "shlwapi" = "native, builtin" "shdocvw" = "native, builtin" "shfolder" = "native, builtin" ;"shell" = "builtin, native" "wininet" = "native, builtin" "urlmon" = "native, builtin" "ole" = "native, builtin" "comctl32" = "builtin, native" "ws2_32" = "builtin, native" [AppDefaults\\hl.exe\\x11drv];"Desktop" = "800x600" ;for window problems "PerfectGraphics" = "N" ;optimization to get more frames "ClientSideWithCore" = "N" ;optimization to get more frames "ClientSideWithRender" = "Y" "ClientSideAntiAliasWithRender" = "N" "ClientSideAntiAliasWithCore" = "N" "DXGrab" = "Y" "DesktopDoubleBuffered" = "N"[AppDefaults\\hl.exe\\DllOverrides] "shdocvw" = "native, builtin" "shlwapi" = "native, builtin" 6. Copy my windows fonts into my wine windows fonts folder 7. Install steam and copy over the game gcfs from my windows partition 8. Finish as per the linux gamers HOWTO: Quote:
Here is how i got it working originally without a hitch, but this time im trying to get more fps by enabling opengl in wine. Linux Gamers HOWTO |
I've had the ie6setup script not work... You're boned then. However, the winexcvs script does the whole lot very nicely with winex cvs, you just don't get the IE6 plugins, but you get the url in the console instead.

i tried the winex cvs recently, but it came up with an error saying it couldn't create a user registry

Exactly. No one way works for everyone.

If Mikes IE installer script doesn't work, it's not the end of the world. That has never worked for me. You can install IE yourself. There's a great guide over at franks corner for getting IE 6 installed.
