League of Legends Installation... compiling never ends?

[IceNekromant]

Hallo everyone.

I want to install League of Legends.
The installation instructions are all from these site in the AppDatabase:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=19141

I've taken the method "Installation script for League of Legends".
I've done all steps as well as I can.

The first step links to an site without a download... so I skiped over to the next step.(maybe here is already the problem)
The second step is easy. Opened the terminal and run the command. I have the file.
I don't understand the third step... MUST I edit the script? Or not?
And now the fourth step. Yes, it was easy to run the command. All was well, but then there comes the command:

Code: Select all

Watch out for configure errors, because I'm going to compile wine.
If there are erros, hit CTRL+C to stop the script and take a look at them.
Compilation will take a while, so close all your applications (not mandatory), press enter and go to drink something (mandatory :D)...

Ok, I closed all apllications and pressed enter...
But then there came a eternal compilation. Finally, I waited an hour and cancelled it.

And now, I don't know: Is the duration of compilation really so long? Or I made a mistake?

Can someone help? Thanks to all replies in advance.

Hi, I'm the maintainer of the AppDB League of Legends thread.

You really have to read instructions carefully, as all you have to do is there. Anyways i'll give you the easiest possible steps to install LoL:

Code: Select all

yum install wine
wget http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh
sh ./install-wine-deps.sh
rm ./install-wine-deps.sh
wget http://l3cdn.riotgames.com/Installer/NA_Installer/LeagueofLegends.exe
wget http://league-of-legends-on-wine-install-script.googlecode.com/files/Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh
sed 's/^\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX/\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-includes=/usr/include/X11/ --with-x' Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh > Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh
rm Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh
sh Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh

And that's pretty much it. This will download all you need, edit the script specifically for OpenSUSE to configure wine properly and run it as intended.
Follow instructions carefully. Take a look at possible configure errors (the script makes a pause there). If you find some libOSmesa/opengl errors, hit ctrl+C and post them here so i can help you.
Wine compilation will be a helluva long if you have a slow CPU, so if it is working (aka. it keeps showing messages constantly) let it finish (just as a note, wine takes about 6-7 minutes to compile on my 4.3GHz quad-core AMD FX, so it will take a pretty darn long time on a mono-core PentiumIV, for example)

At the end, you will have a working custom-compiled wine exclusive to play LoL... you're welcome

[IceNekromant]

First, thank you for the answer and for the command code.
It looks easy: Run all commands and I'll have it.
But there are still problems I don't understand.
I'll show you the commands.

So, first:

Code: Select all

wget http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh

Easy. Run the command, I have it.
Then:

Code: Select all

sh ./install-wine-deps.sh

Here he says:

Code: Select all

Usage: sudo sh ./install-wine-deps.sh

Ok, so I run this command, he asks for root password. After root password I enter comes this:

Code: Select all

sudo sh ./install-wine-deps.sh
root password:
distro SUSE LINUX 12.1 not supported

Ok, and what now? Something does not coorperate with OpenSuse?

Hope, you can help again.

awkwardly, that script don't work for your OpneSUSE version. Don't panic, as you can install manually all needed packages (or most of them)

Just check using your package manager that you have installed all these packages:

Code: Select all

gcc, make, flex, bison, ncurses-devel-32bit, giflib-devel-32bit, liblcms-devel-32bit, libxslt-devel-32bit, Mesa-devel-32bit, libpng-devel-32bit, libxml2-devel-32bit, freeglut-devel-32bit, zlib-devel-32bit, glibc-devel-32bit, fontconfig-devel-32bit, xorg-x11-devel-32bit, xorg-x11-libXext-32bit, xorg-x11-libXp-32bit, xorg-x11-libXt-32bit, capi4linux-32bit, xorg-x11-libICE-32bit, xorg-x11-libXext-devel-32bit, sane-32bit, cups-libs-32bit, libjpeg-devel-32bit, unixODBC-devel-32bit, freetype2-devel-32bit, openssl-devel-32bit, openldap2-devel-32bit, freetype2-devel-32bit, hal-32bit, hal-devel

If you lack one or more just install them using your package manager. Then, you can skip the "sudo sh ./install-wine-deps.sh" step.

[IceNekromant]

Wow, when you say, that I have only to install and check these applications, it sounds so easy.

Ok, I checked it out. Now I have all packages(except hal and hal-devel, this packages i didn't found )

But the result is still the same:

Code: Select all

distro SUSE LINUX 12.1 not supported

I think, that Linux and especially OpenSuse 12.1 don't like me.

Maybe you can help here again? Maybe you have a command where I can see and test again what applications I need to install "install-wine-deps.sh"?

Greetz
IceNekromant

[DanAlucard]

just do the steps that follows "sudo sh install-wine-deps.sh" as you have already installed almost all required dependencies and you don't need the "install-wine-deps.sh" script anymore.

Code: Select all

wget http://l3cdn.riotgames.com/Installer/NA_Installer/LeagueofLegends.exe
wget http://league-of-legends-on-wine-install-script.googlecode.com/files/Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh
sed 's/^\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX/\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-includes=/usr/include/X11/ --with-x' Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh > Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh
rm Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh
sh Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh

[IceNekromant]

Ok, I run the following commands.

I have LeagueofLegends.exe(downloaded as "EU West, Windows" from euw.leagueoflegends.com).

The command

Code: Select all

wget http://league-of-legends-on-wine-install-script.googlecode.com/files/Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh

is working. I have this file.
But then I run the command

Code: Select all

sed 's/^\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX/\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-includes=/usr/include/X11/ --with-x' Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh > Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh

and it comes the following text:

Code: Select all

sed: -e expression #1, symbol 91: Unknown option for `s'

It's strange, but I get the Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh file.

The deleting of Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh with

Code: Select all

rm Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh

works.
But then, I run the command:

Code: Select all

sh Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh

and nothing happens... my terminal just skip to another line and is ready for the next command.

So, what means this?

Code: Select all

sed: -e expression #1, symbol 91: Unknown option for `s'

I don't see in the command `s'.

It's almost done. Just a few steps. Can you help me here again?

Greetz and thanks for all the help

[DanAlucard]

The command that gives you error is a single line, not 2... just copy-paste it. Make sure the LoL installer you downloaded have "LeagueofLegends.exe" as name prior to running these commands on a terminal in the same folder as the installer.

Code: Select all

wget http://league-of-legends-on-wine-install-script.googlecode.com/files/Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh
sed 's/^\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX/\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-includes=/usr/include/X11/ --with-x' Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh > Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh
rm Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh
sh Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh

[IceNekromant]

Sorry, if I disappoint you, but I can't find the problem.

I've deleted the LeagueofLegends.exe from me and got with your command the LeagueofLegends.exe.
I got the Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh with your command.
All these files are in one folder.
I still run your command

Code: Select all

sed 's/^\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX/\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-includes=/usr/include/X11/ --with-x' Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh > Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh

But there still comes the same error-report:

Code: Select all

sed: -e expression #1, symbol 91: Unknown option for `s'

And I still get the Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh file and it still doesn't run with your command. Just skip to another line with no reaction.

Well, I'm about to give up.

Another question, another way you could have an answer:

I've installed "vcrun2008" to try "Download League of Legends using the official downloader (Pando Media Booster)".

Then I run this command, as you write:

Code: Select all

GC_DONT_GC=1 wine LeagueofLegends.exe

and it comes this error report:

Code: Select all

Log file is being written to C:\users\maxim\Temp\LeagueofLegends.exe.log

You must be attached to a process to run this command.
No process loaded, cannot execute 'detach'

Then started an application, but it told me, that happened an error and if this error also happens on Windows I must post it as a bug on buggs.winehq.org...

So... maybe you can help in one of these points?

[DanAlucard]

I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaly sory for this
I just ducked it up
slahes (/) were ducking the command; they needed a preceding backslash to be considered. Now I tested it, sorry
Just delete all things u downloaded and do this (assuming you want the EU west LoL):

Code: Select all

wget http://l3cdn.riotgames.com/Installer/EUW_Installer/LeagueofLegends.exe
wget http://league-of-legends-on-wine-install-script.googlecode.com/files/Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh
sed 's/^\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX/\.\/configure --prefix=\$WINEPREFIX --x-libraries=\/usr\/X11R6\/lib --x-includes=\/usr\/include\/X11\/ --with-x/' Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh > Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh
rm Install-LoL-on-Wine.sh
sh Install-LoL-on-Wine_edited.sh

again, I'm really sorry for that waste of time

[IceNekromant]

No problem.

Finally, the troubleshooting makes more fun than a bugfree working project at the first time. ^^

Ok, I run all commands and finally, the compilation of wine started.
It was a veeery long process considering there are many files to compile...

So, I watched a film while my PC worked.
Finished, he started the LoL Downloader. I agreed to all terms of use and so on.

But then... happened about 40 errors and I had to close every error...

Well, my PC says, that there is an error while running PMP.exe.

And in the terminal is this:

Code: Select all

wine: Call from 0x7ece63a2 to unimplemented function msvcp90.dll.??0?$codecvt@_WDH@std@@QAE@I@Z, aborting
wine: Unimplemented function msvcp90.dll.??0?$codecvt@_WDH@std@@QAE@I@Z called at address 0x7ece63a2 (thread 00bf), starting debugger...

This is about 40 times with similar looking files...

Yeah... and after this:

Code: Select all

creating loltask thread optimizer for LoL...
kdesu(12320)/kdesu (kdelibs) KDESu::KDEsuClient::connect: [ /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kdelibs-4.7.2/kdesu/client.cpp : 110 ]  connect(): "file or directory not founded"

Well... your commands worked out but there are still problems with my PC or my wine, hmm?

Can you help here?

Thanks for all these help.

[DanAlucard]

try with this optional installer:

Code: Select all

wget l3cdn.riotgames.com/Installer/SingleFileInstall/LeagueOfLegendsBaseEUW.exe
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/LoL_wine-$Wine_version/LoL_Prefix
WINE=$HOME/LoL_wine-$Wine_version/bin/wine
GC_DONT_GC=1 $WINE ./LeagueOfLegendsBaseEUW.exe

For the kdesu problem, you have missing/unlinked libraries that kdesu needs... we're not going to fix your KDE... just your LoL
You will have a loltask file (it's a script) located on the folder in which u run all commands I have previously given to u...
Open a terminal in that folder and type:

Code: Select all

sudo mv ./loltask /usr/bin/loltask
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/loltask

Also, check if you have gksu (a GTK graphical su to give root permissions) by typing "gksu --help" (without quotes) on any terminal. If it says "gksu" command not found, search how to fix your kdesu or install gksu... you choose
If it prints a typical program help text u r good to go

Then you need to edit your "Play_LeagueOfLegends.sh" file on your desktop and replace kdesu with gksu. Save and you're done

[IceNekromant]

Hmm... to be honest, I didn't understand every step you told me.

But... I just try to run these commands.

First:

Code: Select all

wget l3cdn.riotgames.com/Installer/SingleFileInstall/LeagueOfLegendsBaseEUW.exe

It works.

Then:

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/LoL_wine-$Wine_version/LoL_Prefix

Well, it just skips to the next line ready for the next command... I continue.

Next command:

Code: Select all

WINE=$HOME/LoL_wine-$Wine_version/bin/wine

Same as before... I continue with:

Code: Select all

GC_DONT_GC=1 $WINE ./LeagueOfLegendsBaseEUW.exe

And there comes this:

Code: Select all

bash: /home/LoL_wine-/bin/wine: folder or directory not founded

What did I do wrong? I only copy-pasted your commands and the PC doesn't want to work.

After this codes I didn't understand nothing...
I have to change my LoL with a loltask script? I haven't such a script...
And I also haven't gksu, so I must investigate how to install that...

Wow, what for a project to install League of Legends...

Ok, so, my questions are:

- What have I done wrong with the above commands?
- What means this loltask script? I'll get it after running the above commands?

Greetz and thanks for help.
IceNekromant

[DanAlucard]

again, I missed something, sorry... I just copy-pasted this from the Install-LoL-on-Wine script so I missed the $Wine_version substitution, sorry.
The only thing these commands do is tell the system where your LoL prefix is and where your custom-compiled wine is and then run LeagueOfLegendsBaseEUW.exe with your custom wine instead of the system one

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/LoL_wine-1.5.5/LoL_Prefix
WINE=$HOME/LoL_wine-1.5.5/bin/wine
GC_DONT_GC=1 $WINE ./LeagueOfLegendsBaseEUW.exe

I was too sleepy yesterday when I answered, sorry

don't worry about loltask, it's just a little performance booster generated by my Install-LoL-on-Wine script. It is not important but good to have
If you want it just create a text file named loltask and paste this into it:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

OLDPID='a'

while true; do

        LOLPID=`ps -A | grep -m 1 'League of Legen' | awk '{print $1}'`
        WINESVRPID=`ps -A | grep -m 1 'wineserver' | awk '{print $1}'`
        WINEDEVPID=`ps -A | grep -m 1 'winedevice.exe' | awk '{print $1}'`

        if [ ! $LOLPID ]; then
                echo 'League of Legends is not running'
        elif [ $OLDPID != $LOLPID ]; then
                OLDPID=$LOLPID
                renice -n -10 $LOLPID
                renice -n -10 $WINESVRPID
                renice -n -10 $WINEDEVPID
                ionice -c 1 -n 1 -p $WINESVRPID
                ionice -c 1 -n 1 -p $WINEDEVPID
                ionice -c 1 -n 1 -p $LOLPID
        else
                echo 'League of Legends is already tuned.'
        fi

        sleep 15
done

loltask looks every 15 seconds for wine/LoL processes to increase their priority on the system, assigning faster resources and making the game run smoother.

once loltask is created just do this:

Code: Select all

sudo mv ./loltask /usr/bin/loltask
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/loltask

this will make it useful

[IceNekromant]

You give me again just commands I must run, but there are still problems I don't understand.
OpenSuse really doesn't like me.

I run all commands but finally comes this:

Code: Select all

bash: /home/LoL_wine-1.5.5/bin/wine: file or directory not founded

And here I just want to know... where I can get this file? I have only a "LoL-wine-"-file with the file "LoL_Prefix" inside.

Hope, you are not bored of me.

Greetz
IceNekromant

[DanAlucard]

are you saying that your home directory is /home ????
you have such a problematic instalation dude xD

anyways, you say that you don't have a LoL_wine-1.5.5 folder on your home?
that folder MUST have been created by the Install-LoL-on-Wine script.
have you finished compiling/installing wine correctly? i.e. do you remember any errors during compilation/instalation?

send me the results of this:

Code: Select all

ls $HOME
ls $HOME/LoL_w*

Don't run my commands as root (hope u haven't did that with everything I sent). You don't need/want to do this as root.

[IceNekromant]

I can remember that I had this file.... but... to be honest... I deleted it of frustration.
I thought, I won't need it.
And no, there were no errors.

Well... just run the compilation again, hmm?

After that I will have this file and can run the latest commands.

Greetz
IceNekromant

[DanAlucard]

yup... doing all from the beginning (except for dependency installation) should work.

[IceNekromant]

Well, I just run the commands but now he's asking me for files to patch...

Code: Select all

Files to patch:  

What for files?
This step were not at the first compiling.

Greetz
IceNekromant

[IceNekromant]

Ok, I just skip over all steps and finally, I got the file LoL_wine-1.5.5 file, but there ist just the file LoL_Prefix...

Ok, finally, I want to delete all folder and reinstall wine...

Tell, if this is the right way to do and I will make it.

Greetz
IceNekromant

[DanAlucard]

yup, delete the folder on your home directory and do it all again.

[IceNekromant]

I'm proud to say that the installation was succesful. Thanks for this.

But let me ask one last question:

You said something like:

Then you need to edit your "Play_LeagueOfLegends.sh" file on your desktop and replace kdesu with gksu. Save and you're done

Well, I haven't such a file. And klicking on the icon on my desktop of "League of Legends" which was created after installation League of Legends starts, but you see only the starting... not the game with the login window. You know, what I mean.

So, something failed? Or: Where is this folder?

Greetz
IceNekromant

[DanAlucard]

well... the install-lol-on-wine script was supposed to create that file into your $HOME/Desktop directory.

If it don't exist, let's create it

create a text file in your Desktop. Any name will be good, but I suggest "Play_LoL.sh". Open it with any text editor and copy-paste this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

export WINEPREFIX=\$HOME/LoL_wine-1.5.5/LoL_Prefix  #wineprefix location
WINE=\$HOME/LoL_wine-1.5.5/bin/wine                 #location of wine executable

cd \$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Riot\ Games/League\ of\ Legends/RADS/system/
\$WINE \"rads_user_kernel.exe\" run lol_launcher \$(ls ../projects/lol_launcher/releases/) LoLLauncher.exe &

loltask_instance=\$(ps -A | grep loltask)
if [ ! \"\$loltask_instance\" ]; then

        gksu loltask & 

else
        echo \"loltask is already started. You do not want it to be started again.\"
fi

then, give it execution rights. U can do it by right-click -> properties -> permission -> mark the "executable" option.

You're done
remove that wine-generated LeaguoeofLegends icon and start the game double-clicking this launcher

[IceNekromant]

Sounds quite easy and I've created this text file.

I copy-pasted your commands inside.

I made it executable.

After that there created another file:

Play_LoL.sh~

And in any case, I click on my Play_LoL.sh once, twice but nothing even happens.

I do mistakes in such little step.

Can help me again?

Greetz
IceNekromant

[IceNekromant]

Maybe this could help:

I run the script with my terminal, with

Code: Select all

./Play_LoL.sh

and there comes this:

Code: Select all

./Play_LoL.sh: line 6: cd: $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Riot Games/League of Legends/RADS/system/: file oder directory not founded
