Running client offline works with wine on linux

I have been pretty successful in trying to run the tools and the client in standalone mode on Fedora 16 and wine-git.





wine version:

Code:

wine-1.4-78-g94953f1

natives installed with winetricks:

Code:

cmd, comctl32, d3dx10, d3dx11*, d3dx9*, directx9, dotnet20, dotnet30, gdiplus, ie8, mfc42, msls31, msxml3, pngfilt, quartz, vcrun*, vjrun20, wininet, wsh56vb, xact*, xinput, xmllite

Graphics card is a nvidia GTS450 with nvidia binary driver version 295.33

By "pretty" successful I mean that there are random dotnet failures during startup (not very often actually) and random segfault/exception, expecially when assets directory is not correctly set, but that could be unrelated to running in wine.

I could not connect to the local server by any means, I will open another thread for that.

Excellent work ggraz!


Once you smooth out the dotnet failures, do you reckon you could write a Setup Tutorial on the Wiki?

Nicely done.

I've noticed that a lot of the Multiverse tools will crash on Windows when the asset repository is set incorrectly. I haven't used the tools on trunk much yet, just the ones in the download distro.

I've been curious about getting the Client to run under Linux. Good to know it may be possible with WINE.
