Steam client

Post#1 by **S4m4n** » 25 Mar 2020, 18:35

Hello there!

I was trying to take it from usm but no luck. then realized that it is only available on i386 systems on slackware repos. also requires compatlib, mutltilib, blah blah. I feel really confused and this is not that kind of package I can make from getting dependencies from pkgs aswell, please help.

P.s I have successfully installed nvidia driver thanks to RAVA post.

Hi S4m4n.

12. If you compile the driver for the x86_64 architecture, then you will get the message:
Code: Select all
Install NVIDIA's 32-bit compatibility libraries?
if you want to play Windows games via Wine or Steam, you will need to answer 'Yes'.
Note. If you answered 'Yes', then you need to install Wine and 0050-compat32-multilib-lite-x86_64 (if you have a 64-bit operating system)
link for x86 | link for x86_64

if you don't want to play Windows games via Wine or Steam, you will need to disagree and choose 'No'.

[HOWTO] make a xzm module driver for NVIDIA video card

Dear Blaze,

Thanks for getting back to my request. I have already pointed out that I installed the NVIDIA driver using: [HOWTO] make a xzm module driver for NVIDIA video card
Considering that I have Porteus 4.0 x86_64 KDE, I have browsed into given link to take wine and compat32-multilib during the installation. But there were several versions for each, so I chose the latest (although my Porteus is not the latest version) as a result compat32-multilib conflicted with on KDE and one of Dolphin deps gone missing ! so I took it away and tried your other compat32-multilib but the issue persisted. So I have to choose between file manager or steam client.

What is the step by step procedure to have steam client work on Porteus?

Thanks in advance!

Hi S4m4n,
how about Porteus 5.0 RC1 and steam-1.0.0.61-x86_64-2_SBo.xzm + 0050-compat32-multilib-lite-x86_64 ?

Dear Blaze,

I have some difficulties with compiling NVIDIA driver that explained on its related post, your help is highly appreciated.

Did you mean the file with size: 106.5 Mb?
