PostPosted: Sun Jul 18, 2004 1:04 am   Post subject: Truing runing on Linux

Using some windows exe emulators i was able to get turing working on a linux install (SuSE distro). I tested it and it could run all the progames i wrote in it. just thougth some poleop whould like to know b/c i rember some post awhile about about turing for linux.

All you have to do is get a copy of turing (not the installer but the files) and put it on your linux install. Then using an eumator like wine it seems to run for verson 4.0.1 of turing (have not tested it on other versons).

I added some screen shots of it runing on linux to this post.

P.S. you will probly need an GUI desktop of some kind or it whould be kind of hard to use it Razz , i used KDE for this test.

Well obviously the emulator would run it. But why? What's the advantage of turing in linux, when it's still turing?

u can also get starcraft and winamp3 to run on that thing u know. and a couple of other apps check it out: http://appdb.winehq.org/

i guess the best app to get running is M$ Word. yea i know its m$ but u gotta give them credit.. thats good stuff they have there... so far unbeatable. OpenOffice.org has a long way to go. Mr. Green

Not that obviousl acualy, alot of aplications do not work right when eumalted if they work at all. And as tony side the adavatge is that it is linux Razz. Just means that u can use turing on another OS, wich gives us more fredom.

I was just realy borad late at night (2am) so i thought it whould be funny to try to run turing when on linux. Means alot to me tho, i do not have to switch OSs when helping poleop with turing.

Edit: one update on this, i tryed to compile a turing progame to an exe in linux and it worked but it crashed turing affter. The exe tho was fine and even it could be run in linux with wine. I have been trying to emulate some more adavced progamers like eMule but it did not work out (but there are linux verson of emule like xmule so that is no big problem).

You need CrossOver Office to run Quicktime and Word.

But its $39.99 USD.

Open Office is fine for me, but I would like to run Adobe Photoshop instead of The Gimp, so I may buy it.

If you're using Windows anyway... iTunes is the only way to go. Smile

yep thats what i use 99.9% of the time

speaking of apple products.. i recommend all those using iTunes or even those not using iTunes to go and download Darwin Streaming Server (DSS for short heh) its just GREAT!!!!! and opensource !!!!!

- usefull for streaming videos
- usefull as your own personal mp3 streaming server

- there are binaries for win2k/xp and redhat/solaris/osx
and u can compile it from source as well

Gnome is generally more attractive than KDE, due to being more minimal (still feature-rich, but not kitchen sink featureful Wink )

I think Linux looks way better than Windows. Even KDE.
