Installation

Make sure you have set up the VoidLinux chroot first.

Since Steamcmd comes with 32-bit binaries, we first have to enable 32-bit compatibility as follows:

./root-voidlinux.sh "xbps-install -Sy void-repo-multilib"
./root-voidlinux.sh "xbps-install -S"
./root-voidlinux.sh "xbps-install libgcc-32bit libstdc++-32bit"

Download the tarball containing Steamcmd outside of the chroot and extract it into the home directory in our chroot:

wget http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar xf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz -C ~/chroot/voidlinux/home/$USER

Update steamcmd:

./voidlinux.sh "/home/$USER/steamcmd.sh +quit"
