No, not easily. As far as I know, GOG installers are not extractable via Linux except through Wine, which complicates the build process. If you have all the data from a Windows install, you should be able to follow the steps in the PKGBUILD starting at "# Extract Game Clients" and install all that stuff on top of the Windows install. According to the GOG forums, there appears to be other problems, even in Windows, so who knows if it'll work or not. I personally own the GOG version too, but I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet.

There a way to get this pkgbuild to work with files from a windows install rather than a DVD? Some people will now have the digital distribution of the game from GOG and thus lack a DVD to use for the install.

I had to change "http://files.bioware.com/neverwinternights/updates/linux/169/English_linuxclient169_xp2.tar.gz" to "http://na.llnet.bioware.cdn.ea.com/u/f/eagames/bioware/neverwinternights/updates/linux/169/English_linuxclient169_xp2.tar.gz" to make the download in clyde work.

The perl buildscripts in this package seem not to work with the new multilib configuration on 64-bit systems (they don't include the right 32-bit lib dirs). I think some judicious use of sed may be indicated. I am wondering why make or a more flexible buildsystem isn't used, though...

Looks like upstream removed the need for the patch, so it's been removed from the package. I also changed libelf to elfutils.

I'm assuming that the nwmouse/nwlogger patch failing means that they don't build correctly, either? I will look into these issues as soon as I can, but building this package is a massive pain in the ass because of the size of all the data (and too lazy to do nwn-diamond-data ;)

libelf depenedency is obsolete, should be elfutils. Also nwmouse.nwlogger.patch doesn't apply cleanly.

Unfortunately, the fix was in the AUR comments which have been deleted. Try opening /usr/bin/nwn and modifying the following line: export LD_PRELOAD=./nwuser.so:./nwmouse.so:./nwmovies.so:./nwlogger.so Change this to only load one .so file at a time- or just nwuser and nwlogger. Then, try starting the game once or twice. Those modules are a bit weird, sometimes launching the game once with only one loaded at a time will get it them to work right. For example: export LD_PRELOAD=./nwuser.so:./nwlogger.so I don't recall the specifics of how this was resolved previously, but I remember it had something to do with the modules not working correctly for the first time.
