opengl error on wine
« on: October 18, 2006, 10:20:00 am »

When i try to run the game on an ubuntu platform using wine, an "opengl error" pops up and it quits.

It's a common error? How i can fix this?

And why did you use opengl for a text only game?!?

Thanks!

What are your settings in winecfg graphics card and such?

I got it to work perfectly in ubuntu then got mad at it and went back less than a week ago.

Also check if your graphics card is opengl compliant.

(trip partioned tho)

If you aren't already, try running the executable with:
code:

WINEDEBUG="-all" wine dwarfort.exe


That works for me; I'm also running on Ubuntu.

I think Ubuntu comes with Mesa "OpenGL" preinstalled, but if not, install it or some other OpenGL library. (I can't quite remember the reason that Dwarf Fortress uses OpenGL, but it uses it to render the ascii tiles.)
