AI War on Linux Testing

[deMangler]

Sound worked flawlessly for me with v4.0025.
In winecfg it is ALSA driver that is selected.

Thanks, yes I used your winetricks info on winehq to get it up and running in the first place.

I think my problem is that I have had to jump through some hoops to get wine working with my 64 bit system and support for some libraries, such as openal had to be disabled during compile. ALSA generally works fine though.

I am playing with some 32bit / 64 bit compatibility libs and will post my progress.

Any advice is welcome. I may of course be chasing a wild goose.

Yes, Linux 64bits might be the trick here , good luck !

Thank you.

It is now working. Here is what I did leaving out the gory details.

I decided to start afresh.
I completely removed wine from my system.
Downloaded the source for wine 1.3.7.

made sure I had both the 64 and 32 bit libs for openal installed as well as other deps needed for wine that were already installed from last time.

Changed my compile environment to 32 bit.

compiled and installed wine with defaults. (I was not expecting this to work...)

ran the 'winetricks corefonts allfonts tahoma gecko gecko-dbg vcrun2005' as suggested.

Installed AI War, TZR, CON.

It worked!  Sound!  Music! 

AI War..... On Slackware....!
