Tested: Ubuntu 7.10 64bit - Gnome


Rollemup is a cross-platform pinball game that was originally made by LostBoys for the Dutch brewery Dommelsch. It's a great game that was freely available from the LostBoys and Dommelsch websites, but sadly not anymore…

[More Info]

Make sure your sourcelist is correctly set.
Next you need is to download 32-bit layer libs to make Roll'em Up working.

Code:

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
sudo aptitude install ia32-libs alien rpm
wget http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb
sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb

libstdc++.so.2.8.0 lib which is needed you have to install manually as it's not available through Ubuntu Sources (an old lib).

Code:

cd ~/Desktop
wget ftp://ftp.chg.ru/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/rpm/i386/fedora/3/compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2.i386.rpm
alien -t compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2.i386.rpm
tar zxfv compat-libstdc++-8.tgz
cd usr/lib
sudo cp -r libstdc++.so.2.8.0 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.2.8

Done.

Once more to the terminal;

Code:

mkdir ~/.Games
cd ~/Desktop
wget http://www.jmurray.id.au/Rollemup.tar.gz
tar zxfv Rollemup.tar.gz -C ~/.Games
getlibs ~/.Games/Rollemup/Rollemup

Done.

Save rollemup.png to your Desktop.

Code:

cd ~/Desktop
mv rollemup.png ~/.Games/Rollemup
nano ~/.Games/Rollemup-launch.sh

Add the following;

Save [ctrl] + [o] and exit [ctrl] + [x].


Code:

chmod +x ~/.Games/Rollemup-launch.sh
alacarte

Go to the Game section in Alacarte and push the New Item button. Fill in;

You can now launch from Roll'em Up by Applications tab —> Games —> Roll'em Up

Enjoy!
