…to remind myself because I always seem to forget how to.
1. Put the contents of the CD somewhere (e.g. /tmp/heroes).
2. Install:
/tmp/heroes$ ./setup.sh
3. Download and run patch with --keep:
/tmp/heroes$ wget ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org/lokigames/updates/heroes3/heroes3-1.3.1a-unified-x86.run
/tmp/heroes$ _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 ./heroes3-1.3.1a-unified-x86.run --keep
4. Download the patch for the patch:
Dowload http://downloads.sourceforge.net/goldenfiles/loki_patch-fix-0.1.tar.gz
/tmp/heroes$ tar xvfz loki_patch-fix-0.1.tar.gz
/tmp/heroes$ cp Loki_patch-fix/fixedpatch heroes3-1.3.1a-unified-x86/bin/Linux/x86/loki_patch
5. Now update:
/tmp/heroes$ ./heroes3-1.3.1a-unified-x86/update.sh
6. Get the compatibility libs:
wget http://www.swanson.ukfsn.org/loki/loki_compat_libs-1.3.tar.bz2
Extract them to a directory you can remember (e.g. HEROES3_INSTALL_PATH/lib).
7. Start the game with (assuming you used HEROES3_INSTALL_PATH/lib):
LD_PRELOAD=HEROES3_INSTALL_PATH/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so:HEROES3_INSTALL_PATH/lib/libsmpeg-0.4.so.0.1.3:HEROES3_INSTALL_PATH/lib/libsmjpeg-0.2.so.0 HEROES3_INSTALL_PATH/heroes3 -w
Now to get the sound working…
