How do I run dc on linux? I can't seem to do it.

[bartavelle]

It was linux compatible at version 0.1   now it just isn't. You might want to try the executable version !

You mean a windows version emulated using wine?

Does that mean I need to download the installer?

I can't use the complied version myself since I'm still Win2k, so I had to go through all the steps of installing the stuff and then commenting out the line I mentioned a few posts ago.  Then it worked!  (It'd be nice for an OS check, I don't know if Python can tell the difference between NT, 2000, XP & Vista however.)

Could you perhaps upload that file? Or tell what program you used to edit it? I can't figure it out :

Got some questions, seeing I can't get DC to start. If I have the dfcompanion-0.11-exe, do I have to install all those other files (python/GTK+ etc)? I have an old version of GTK+ installed on my comp, will this interfere with DC? Can I run DC on winME? Does the folder need to be anywhere in particular?

Also the error message I get when trying to run the dfcompanion-0.11-exe:



Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dfcompanion_prototype.py", line 4, in ?
  File "dwarfdbg.pyc", line 9, in ?
  File "dfwin32.pyc", line 8, in ?
  File "ctypes\__init__.pyc", line 415, in __getattr__
  File "ctypes\__init__.pyc", line 340, in __init__
WindowsError: [Errno 31] A device attached to the system is not functioning





Any input would be appreciated!

[bartavelle]

You need to have a recent GTK version, old versions WILL conflict if they are in a systemwide zone.

And I have no clue about winME, didn't thought it was still out there ...

[numskully]

I got rid of my old GTK, and I get the same error message. Do I need to install python and the new version of GTK if I use the exe version of DC? Where should I put the folder of DC at?


Yep, I use winME, haven't got a new comp since 2000!

[bartavelle]

DC can live everywhere without trouble. Seems like it's a ME miscompatibility (for information, it doesn't work with win 2000 too ...)

[numskully]

So do I need to install python and GTK if I use the exe version of DC?

[Kagus]

Nope, the .exe version brings along everything it needs to run effectively. 

[numskully]

Ah thanks Kagus and bartavelle! Guess I'll try it out when I upgrade my comp.

[Jetman123]

Does this still work in the most recent version?

[Kagus]

Yes it does.  I've been using it extensively for various little things, including DnG.

It will have a brief period of incompatibility with the upcoming version though.

[Jetman123]

So it's still being updated?

[bartavelle]

Actually, if there are no changes in the specific functions that the tool is looking for, and in the creature structure, it should work without modifications.

One can hope!
