Linux Native Dorfs?
« on: April 14, 2010, 03:24:21 am »
Hi there. I'm a new player, as you can guess, and I apologize if I've missed some obvious questions page or something that answers this, but where in blazes is this native Linux version of Dwarf Fortress that I see referenced in the FAQ and who knows how often elsewhere? I only see Mac and Windows versions. Has it been discontinued? Is it maintained elsewhere? Any answers you can give would be very, very apreciated.

The mac versions are currently only for the prior version.

The linux native version was done on the forum by Baughn, as part of a move to using SDL, under the 40dX flag (Which ended in 40d19 http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=50514.0 and supported mac, windows, linux)

Currently this hasn't been done for the new 0.31 version so we will have to wait until the bugs are fixed and the game is integrated with Baughn's wonderful cross-platform code.

Until then you'll have to put up with wine I'm afraid.

Run it* in Wine, for it works fine.

Speaking of wine, did anyone have troubles with stuck keys?
For some reason, DF stopped working here. I run it, press anything, and it keeps repeating said key. It would happen before when window would go inactive, and was fixable by simply pressing same key again, but now it does not help.
I've tried to change KEY_HOLD_MS, but it just makes it repeat keys slower.
Happens with both 31.01 and 31.03, in both windowed and fullscreen. I've updated some libs recently, but nothing major.
Tried updating wine from .40 to .42, but its all the same.
