----------------------------------- DaVe g Mon Oct 11, 2004 6:25 pm Turing runs on Linux! ----------------------------------- I am running Mandrake 10.1 and I tested turing on wine, and yes it installs, and runs perfectly. :P I'm so happy.... ----------------------------------- Genesis Mon Oct 11, 2004 6:48 pm ----------------------------------- Ya, it works with Wine on Suse too. (Also, I think there was already a topic about this somewhere else that Dan started a little while ago...) ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Oct 12, 2004 11:23 am ----------------------------------- yep wine is gr8 and so is linux ;) ----------------------------------- timmytheturtle Tue Oct 12, 2004 4:12 pm ----------------------------------- I want linux but me computer is shit. I tried to install PHLAK but my computer kept freezing up. Im going to try suse as soon as i download it. What is wine? were can I get it? how do I install it? ----------------------------------- Genesis Tue Oct 12, 2004 4:49 pm ----------------------------------- Wine is a program that lets you run Windows apps in Linux. It should come with your copy of Suse. I think mine did. (If not you can download it [url=http://www.winehq.com/]here. Installing is just a matter of unpacking the RPM and using Yast. Which will become clear when you start using Linux.) ----------------------------------- wtd Tue Oct 12, 2004 5:13 pm ----------------------------------- Basically, the Win32 API contains a lot of basic functionality that every GUI application needs. Rather than writing all of this code from scratch, programmers use that API to save time. Your program wants to open a window, it tells the Win32 libraries to open a window for it. Linux uses several different APIs for GUI applications, but not Win32. By default, if you try to run a Windows application on Linux and it largely fails because the system can't handle those requests. WINE steps in by giving the system a means of answering those requests. It doesn't emulate the computer like VMWare or VirtualPC, but just the API calls, translating Win32 API requests to something the system's own libraries can handle. ----------------------------------- timmytheturtle Sat Oct 16, 2004 4:03 pm ----------------------------------- Thanks, I no longer can put Suse or any other linux distro on my computer cause my one drive is dead(10gb) and my other drive is too small(1.62gb) to fit a good distro on there(suse, knoppix,etc..). So for now im stuck using winxp. ----------------------------------- r0ssar00 Sat Oct 16, 2004 4:09 pm ----------------------------------- i saw the title and said no sh*t sherlock ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sun Oct 17, 2004 12:23 am ----------------------------------- i saw the title and said no sh*t sherlock Keep digging, Watson. :? It's a Windows-based program so running it on all distributions of Linux is not obvious. As for me, I'm having some troubles =/ Running Debian over here, and I tried to WINE it. Goes into installshield wizard fine, but halfway through it reports that "Failed to exract file "DLL_INI" from the binary table." Any ideas? :?

Worked for me! :) I'm now doing Turing on Linux. w00t! ^__^ ----------------------------------- Leftover Mon Oct 25, 2004 8:54 pm ----------------------------------- Both don't work for me :( Edit >> When I try to install it, it goes slow untill about 40% of the installer, then busts up to 99% and crashes I guess, really confusing me, I really kinda need this workin. ----------------------------------- templest Tue Oct 26, 2004 10:24 am ----------------------------------- It's installed. Go to your folder where it was installed "/home/$user/fake_c/program files/ect...", and run "wine turing.exe".
