Create a separate user and group for games. See the README file in the source directory for more information: install -v -m755 -d /var/lib/games && groupadd -fg 60 games && useradd -c 'Games High Score Owner' -d /var/lib/games \ -g games -s /bin/false -u 60 games || [ $? == 9 ] && chown -v games:games /var/lib/games Install GNOME Games by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \ --sysconfdir=&gnome-etc-dir; \ --localstatedir=/var/lib \ --disable-tests && make To test the results, issue make check. Now, as the root user: make install --localstatedir=/var/lib: This parameter is used so that all ScrollKeeper files are installed in, and the ScrollKeeper database is properly updated in /var/lib/scrollkeeper instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper and also causes the game programs to use /var/lib/games as the directory holding the high score files. --disable-setgid: This will prevent the setgid bit on the executables from being set. It provides system administrators with the option to disable setgid binaries, though it also means that the functionality to save high game scores will be disabled. --disable-tests: Remove this parameter if you have Check installed and you wish to build the test apps. --disable-scrollkeeper: Use this parameter if you wish to disable the updates to the scrollkeeper database.
