<title>Installation of <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym> 
Games</application></title>

<para>Some of the <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym> 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><userinput><command>install -v -m755 -d /var/lib/games &amp;&amp;
groupadd games &amp;&amp;
useradd -c 'Games High Score Owner' -d /var/lib/games \
        -g games -s /bin/false games &amp;&amp;
chown -v games:games /var/lib/games</command></userinput></screen>

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

<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` \
    --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome &amp;&amp;
make</command></userinput></screen>

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

<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install</command></userinput></screen>

<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>
