| But it's not ready for a release, networking and sound need love for example.

| The Linux porting effort is underway at https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/taspring_linux/trac.cgi/wiki

| '''''This is unconfirmed stuff, if it's not working figure it out and update this wiki page!'''''

| | |
| Even though a native Linux port of Spring is almost complete, if, in the meantime, you want to play Spring in Linux using Wine(link to http://winehq.org/), follow these guidelines:
| |
| | |
| '''1 - You'll need, of course, Wine installed.'''<br>
| |
| '''2 - Be sure to have 3D hardware acceleration enabled.'''<br>
| |
| '''3 - Install Spring or use an already installed Spring in Windows.'''<br>
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''1 - You'll need, of course, Wine installed.'''<br>
| |
| Just install it from your reposetory or your jap, jum or you thing in Fedora Core/Suse.
| |
| If you like to do difecult try to compile from source or something.

| |
| | |
| | |
| '''2 - Be sure to have 3D hardware acceleration enabled.'''<br>
| |
| Spring is a fully 3D game and will require those. This usually means you have to install the nVidia/Ati comercial drivers.
| |
| Just install the package from you distribution.
| |
| If you're having problems installing these, you'll also probably find better help at they're web sites.
| |
| Don't ask on the Spring forum as they all run MS Windows.
| |
| | |
| | |
| To know if you have 3D acceleration working, you can execute in a comand line the comand:
| |
| glxinfo
| |
| If it shows the line:
| |
| direct rendering: yes
| |
| You probably have them working.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''3 - Install Spring or use an already installed Spring in Windows.'''<br>
| |
| * If you already have Spring installed in Windows, make sure that partition is accessible in Linux, use a comand line to change directory (cd) into it and execute:
| |
| wine TASClient.exe
| |
| * If you don't have Spring installed yet, install it executing in a comand line where the installer file is located:
| |
| wine taspring_0.63b2.exe
| |
| (or whatever else the installer might be called)
| |
| Then, change directory to where you installed it to, generally:
| |
| cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/TASpring
| |
| (the comand line only accepts " " spaces in paths if they have an "\" before, like: cd Program\ Files)
| |
| And, similarly, execute:
| |
| wine TASClient.exe
| |
| | |
| My Linux instalation, Suse Linux 9.3, installed by default Wine and had the option, through the YOU auto-updating tool, to automatically install the comercial drivers. If your distribution also has such options, it can save you much work.
