Hi, That is interesting... ...I just did a search for 'chromium' via YAST2: License: Artistic License Version: 0.9.12-286, Tue Mar 26 05:25:14 2002 Description: Chromium B.S.U. is a fast paced, arcade-style,top-scrolling space shooter. Authors: I installed it and it works fine by me. Maybe you shouldn't try to compile things that already exist and work perfectly well in SuSE. AFAIK this game has been with SuSE since 7.2 and I have played it on several occassions. Regards Q On Mon, 2002-10-21 at 09:21, Glenn Pedersen wrote:
Hi all, I recently had a play with Mandrake 9.0 and although not bad is not imho as good as Suse 8.
However there was a rather nice scrolling, space shoot em up game that was with mandrake called Chromium.
So I went off and found the source for the game, compiled it and am happily running it under Suse but with one problem.
I can only run the game if I am physically in the dir that the binary is. The readme says I have to set some Environment Variables so that it can find the data required no matter what dir I am in.
My question is how do I set these "Environment Variables" ?
btw this is the bit about the environment vars here quoted from the readme
Environment Variables:
* CHROMIUM_SCORE - By default, high scores are kept in the ~/.chromium-score file. If the CHROMIUM_SCORE env var is set, Chromium will use that filename instead. (for example, if you want to compete w/ friends for high scores) * CHROMIUM_DATA - directory name where data files are kept. By default, Chromium will look for ../data.
Thanks, Glenn
