Hello fellow Debian users, Ubuntu lovers and Mint freaks!

Here you’ll find scripts allowing you to build a .deb package from your Windows installer for Deus Ex. You can install it through DPKG and remove it through any APT front-end (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.).

I hope you’ll enjoy the comfort provided by these scripts as much as I enjoy writing and tweaking them ;)

Hi,

maybe I do something wrong but step 3. doesn't work for me.

Step 3.

$ sh ./setup_deus_ex_2.0.0.11.exe

->
errors

$ sh ./play-deus-ex_gog-2.0.0.11.sh

->
Checksum method set to: md5sum
Compression method set to: none
Installation prefix set to: /usr/local
Game language set to: en

Error:
realpath not found.
Install it before running this script.


Please help.

Thx for your work.

You need to install the 'realpath' package before running this script.
Depending on your distribution, you can do it with: as root, or: with an admin user.

It works now. Thanks a lot!

I have a newer install .exe for Deus Ex so the script stops as soon as it realizes the hashsums don't match up. any way you can put out a newer script or gimme some way to ignore that bit? it thinks that it isn't Deus Ex

Thanks for the report, I will update the script as soon as I have a bit of free time.
Meanwhile you can force the script to work on your installer by running it with the right option:
