There Is No Doubt, Steam Is Coming To Linux!

**birdie** · 04-29-2010, 01:21 PM

Info.plist and steam.icns from MacOS X distribution didn't help.

**bwRavencl** · 04-29-2010, 03:38 PM

I don't think that the Info.plist file is required for the Linux version - as far as i know, those "Information Property List Files" are only common in Max OSX Applications.

How did you get past the steamui.so issue?

I've figured out how to bypass the steamui.so issue but, even with no errors after running the steam.sh nothing loads.

First make a new file called "steam.cfg" under the same directory as "steam.sh". Edit it and add:

Code:

Universe = store.steampowered.com/public/client/steam_linux_client

It is important that you DO NOT put "http://" in front of the link or the binary will be unable to create the directory structure.

Next I modified the steam.sh and renamed it to mod-steam.sh because if you run it, it will get updated and erase the changes.

What I added is in RED.

Code:

elif [ "$UNAME" == "Linux" ]; then
   PLATFORM=linux32
   # prepend our lib path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${STEAMROOT}"/${PLATFORM}:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   export LD_PRELOAD="${STEAMROOT}/${PLATFORM}/steamui.so"
fi

YMMV. Good luck!

Yeah, lots of Linux strings were changed around, but nothing too apparently exciting went in as additions.

**d2kx** · 04-30-2010, 12:33 PM

The final and public release of the Mac client will be on May, the 12th btw.

That's what I am getting at this point. I've tried running with a variety of different standard Steam command line parameters, but they seem to have no effect.

YMMV. Good luck!
