Gaming Linux From Scatch (GLFS)

Gaming Linux From Scratch is a book that covers how to install packages like Steam and Wine after the Linux From Scratch book.

Where to Read and How

The HTML files aren't hosted anywhere yet, except for the GitHub releases. Go to https://github.com/Zeckmathederg/glfs/releases and go the the newest release. Chunked means the book is seperated into multiple HTML files. Nochunked means the book is just one big HTML file. PDF is a big PDF file of the book.

Chunked:

Point your browser or HTML reader to index.html

Nochunked:

Point your browser or HTML reader to glfs.html

PDF

Point your browser or PDF reader to glfs.pdf

Installation

How do I convert these XML files to HTML? You need to have some software installed that deal with these conversions. Please read the INSTALL.md file to determine what programs you need to install and where to get instructions to install that software.

After that, you can build the html with a simple make command. The default target builds the html in $(HOME)/public_html/glfs.

For all targets, setting the parameter REV=systemd is needed to build the systemd version of the book.

Furthermore, the dark theme is the default, but you can switch the theme by running switch-theme.sh with the parameter light or dark.

Other Makefile targets are: pdf, nochunks, validate, and glfs-patch-list.

pdf: builds GLFS as a PDF file.

nochunks: builds GLFS in one huge file.

validate: does an extensive check for xml errors in the book.

glfs-patch-list: generates a list of all GLFS controlled patches in the book.
