Hello,
I'm trying to install my Starcraft original cd in my Salix (=Slackware) 13.37 64 bits XFCE, with wine 1.3.36 and PlayonLinux 4.1.3.
I insert my cdrom into the drive. It's mount it, but playonlinux can't find my cd.
Even if a mount the CD manually (with #mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) it cannot find my cd (even I choose Other->Where's your cd-rom-> /mnt/cdrom; and the cd is mounted, because I do a:
# ls /mnt/cdrom  and I can see the files in the folder -
Autorun.inf  Installer Tome.mpq  Installer.ico  StarCraft (Windows).exe).

I tried (also) to mount with (read some tutos in the net about hybrid cds):
# mount -o remount,unhide /mnt/cdrom and
# mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=1000 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

But playonlinux can't find my cd either.
Any advices? I really want to install my Starcraft with POL.

Some news:
Tried to install for a mounted .iso image (in the Starcraft install profile). Done:

# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=starcraft.iso
# mount -o loop starcraft.iso /mnt/iso

And pointed the installer to /mnt/iso. POL can't find my .iso BUT when I choose Install Starcraft/Brood War Digital Copy and pointed to the .iso install, POL find my  .iso file (and when I point to the CD, POL can find it too). But the installation is not sucessful, since POL asks for the 2nd cd.

So, any hints ?

EDIT: More info: I'm trying to install Starcraft Anthology (2 cd's set). First cd is Starcraft; second is Brood War expansion set

I finally instaled Starcraft Anthology in Salix using playonlinux.

Choose the Starcraft Broodwar Digital Distribution Copy.

Then the installer ask the first cd. Pointed to the files; begin installation.
Then the installer asked from the 2nd cd. Unmounted the first, put the 2nd, and waited for the automount. When mounted, pointed to the installs files, and done: Starcraft Anthology was installed.

To fierce_brake: I installed the POL 4.1.3 using a modified slackbuild; download it from:

http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/games/playonlinux/

and the following files:

PlayOnLinux.desktop
doinst.sh
playonlinux.SlackBuild
slack-desc

and put all in the same folder (like /home/POL/);

Download the playonlinux.tar.gz (the version with you want) from:

http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux/

And put it in the same folder that you placed the .SlackBuild (/home/POL);
then edit the playonlinux.Slackbuild and change the VERSION variable to the desired version of POL that you downloaded...
Example:
VERSION=${VERSION:-4.0.14} to VERSION=${VERSION:-4.1.3};

Run the script (sh playonlinux.SlackBuild); grab the package in /tmp; install it using # installpkg package or #upgradepkg package (if you have a previous version, just upgrade it...).

Another hint: since 4.1.2, POL asks from (missing) icotools and wrestool. Install the package icoutils form Sourcery and done: your POL will works.

Cheers.
