    <title>Installation of GNOME Games</title>

    <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;
groupadd -g 60 games &amp;&amp;
useradd -c 'Games High Score Owner' -d /var/lib/games \
        -g games -s /bin/false -u 60 games &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` \
    --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><parameter>--localstatedir=/var/lib</parameter>: This switch
    puts <application>ScrollKeeper</application> files in
    <filename class="directory">/var/lib/scrollkeeper</filename> instead of
    <filename class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper</filename> and
    also causes the programs to use
    <filename class='directory'>/var/lib/games</filename> as the directory
    holding the high score files.</para>

    <para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome</parameter>: This switch puts
    configuration files in <filename class="directory">/etc/gnome</filename>
    instead of <filename class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/etc</filename>.</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>
