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

| To compile spring yourself, refer to the [[SetupGuide]].

| The first sceenshot of Spring running on Linux.
| |
| | |
| =Running Spring via wine=
| |
| | |
| Even though a native Linux port of Spring is progressing well you can play Spring on Linux using [http://winehq.org/ Wine]:
| |
| | |
| '''''This is unconfirmed, if it's not working please figure it out and update this wiki page!'''''<br>
| |
| And if you had success with these guidelines please let us know.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| '''1 - You'll need, of course, Wine installed.'''<br>
| |
| Just use the version included with your distribution.<br>
| |
| You can compile from source but that is generally unnecessary.
| |
| | |
| '''2 - Be sure to have 3D hardware acceleration enabled.'''<br>
| |
| Spring is a fully 3D accelerated game and will require this. This usually means you have to install the nVidia/Ati commercial drivers. Confirmed to work stable with [http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R300_20Application r300 open driver] (Mesa 6.5.1).
| |
| Install the package from you distribution.
| |
| If you're having problems installing these, you'll also probably find better help at their web sites.
| |
| The Spring forums are not really for general linux help, so refer to your distribution's forums - if they have any.
| |
| | |
| | |
| To know if you have 3D acceleration working, you can execute the following command:
| |
| glxinfo
| |
| If it shows the line:
| |
| direct rendering: yes
| |
| You probably have it 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, and using a terminal window change directory (cd) into that directory and execute:
| |
| wine TASClient.exe
| |
| * If you don't have Spring installed yet, install it by executing the following command in a terminal window where the installer file is located:
| |
| wine taspring_0.72b1.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 command line only accepts " " spaces in paths if they have an "\" before, like: cd Program\ Files)
| |
| And, similarly, execute:
| |
| wine TASClient.exe
| |
| | |
| Suse Linux 9.3 installs Wine by default and had the option, through the YOU auto-updating tool, to automatically install the commercial drivers. If your distribution also has such options, it can save you much work.
| |
| | |
| It should be noted that in the multiplatform code releases of Spring (0.7x) you may need to run Spring in full-screen mode or the mouse will not scroll the world when you push against the edges of the screen. Only Spring needs to run in full-screen mode; the other programs do not. You can have wine emulate a virtual desktop and run Spring in full-screen mode inside that.
