Step #2 - Install packages from official Rocky repos
as root
make sure powertools repo is enabled
dnf repolist
dnf config-manager --set-enabled "powertools"
make sure dev tools are installed
dnf group install "Development Tools"
install packages needed to build software in general
dnf install pkgconf-pkg-config
dnf install ninja-build
dnf install platform-python-devel
dnf install python36-devel
python36, [d][e]
dnf install meson
dnf install glib2-devel
baseos
dnf install gtk3-devel.x86_64
appstream
install packages needed to build AisleRiot
dnf install libappstream-glib-devel
dnf install cairo-devel
dnf install GConf2-devel
dnf install glib2-devel
dnf install gtk3-devel
dnf install guile-devel
dnf install libcanberra-devel
//skip 'qt5-qtsvg-devel' and use librsvg2 instead
dnf install librsvg2-devel
still as root, create a directory for building software
mkdir -p /data/build
set permissions to allow create/read/write/delete for standard user
log out of being root
Step #3 - Build (and then play) the AisleRiot game
this part does NOT need root
as standard user
cd /data/build
decide git or tar?
the tarballs are too old, so we need to use git version which has tar.gz download option
wget "https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/aisleriot/-/archive/master/aisleriot-master.tar.gz"
make sure it looks correct
ls -l aisleriot-master.tar.gz
extract it
tar -xf aisleriot-master.tar.gz
change to the extracted directory
cd /data/build/aisleriot-master
create two directories, one for building, one for “installing”
mkdir builddir/
mkdir inst/
configure it
meson setup builddir --prefix /data/build/aisleriot-master/inst/usr/local -Dtheme_kde_path=/usr/share/carddecks
install it as standard user without affecting any system locations
meson install -C builddir
echo $?
start the game
set the xdg data dirs, ‘glib-2.0/schemas’ will be added to the end of the path
cd /data/build/aisleriot-master
XDG_DATA_DIRS+=:inst/usr/local/share inst/usr/local/bin/sol
inside the game
you might want “Control : Click to move”
Step #4 - to uninstall later
remove the conf file from homedir
cat ~/.config/gnome-games/aisleriot
rm ~/.config/gnome-games/aisleriot
delete everything in ‘builddir’ and ‘inst’
cd /data/build/aisleriot-master
rm -rf inst/
rm -rf builddir/
