    <para>Some of the <application>GNOME Games</application> game binaries
    need to be setgid to track high scores. Create a separate user and group
    for games. See the <filename>README</filename> file in the source directory
    for more information:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -m755 -d /var/lib/games &amp;&amp;

useradd -c 'Games High Score Owner' -d /var/lib/games \
        -g games -s /bin/false -u 60 games || [ $? == 9 ] &amp;&amp;
chown -v games:games /var/lib/games</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>GNOME Games</application> by
    running the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
            --sysconfdir=&gnome-etc-dir; \

    <para><parameter>--localstatedir=/var/lib</parameter>: This parameter is
    used so that all <application>ScrollKeeper</application> files are
    installed in, and the <application>ScrollKeeper</application> database is
    properly updated in
    <filename class="directory">/var/lib/scrollkeeper</filename> instead of
    <filename class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper</filename> and
    also causes the game programs to use
    <filename class='directory'>/var/lib/games</filename> as the directory
    holding the high score files.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-setgid</option>: 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.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-tests</parameter>: Remove this parameter if you
    have <application>Check</application> installed and you wish to build the
    test apps.</para>

    <para><option>--disable-scrollkeeper</option>: Use this parameter if you
    wish to disable the updates to the scrollkeeper database.</para>
