Hello fellow Debian users, Ubuntu lovers and Mint freaks!

Here you’ll find scripts allowing you to build .deb packages from your MojoSetup installers (.sh) for Baldur’s Gate games. You can install them through DPKG and remove them through any APT front-end (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.).

Scripts and usage instructions can be found on the following pages:
Baldur’s Gate: The Original Saga
Baldur’s Gate II Complete

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

Here you go for more supported games!

Thanks for the nice script. I haven't tried it yet on my Linux install, but it looks promising. Sorry for nitpicking, but shouldn't that be "to build .deb packages from your Linux (i.e. .sh MojoSetup) installers for Baldur’s Gate games." ?

You’re right, I once again have been betrayed by my poor copy-paste skills ;)
